With features like algorithmic execution, advanced market visualization, discretionary trading, and risk management tools, Architect is setting a new standard in the industry.

In addition to their core offerings, Architect recently introduced Architect Edge, a market data and event monitoring platform, and Architect Match, a portfolio management and trade reconciliation platform for financial institutions. These new tools further solidify Architect's position as a leader in institutional trading technology.

CEO Brett Harrison expressed his excitement about the funding round, highlighting the growing demand for high-throughput, low-latency trading infrastructure in today's market landscape. He emphasized the company's commitment to leveraging advanced technological capabilities to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients and navigate evolving market trends.

As Architect Financial Technologies continues to innovate and expand its reach, the future looks bright for this trailblazing company at the forefront of derivatives brokerage and trading technology.
