Through the partnership, TradingStack.io is expected to be able to extend its digital connectivity solution to FIX infrastructure as part of its trading platform solutions, to facilitate integration with key digital asset markets for clients and enhance asset liquidity.
The firms have said that the collaboration comes off the back of increased interest in digital assets and tokenisation in capital markets, as firms look to solutions integrated with existing front-to-back workflows that will provide faster settlement, increased transparency and fractional ownership.
“As traditional capital markets firms increasingly look to new trading and investment opportunities offered by cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, integration with existing infrastructure and systems is paramount to cost optimisation and operational efficiencies,’ said Mike Powell, chief executive of Rapid Addition.
“We are therefore delighted to work with TradingStack.io to integrate our asset class agnostic platform with their digital asset trading solutions, providing our mutual customers with faster time to market and seamless connectivity to digital markets.”

The new offering is also expected to address challenges associated with bridging gaps between established trading protocols like FIX and new crypto interfaces.
Tim Connolly, managing director at TradingStack.io said: “As traditional buy- and sell-side firms look to extend their offering to digital assets, they can avoid the operational burden of managing multiple fragmented systems, connections, and integrations across exchanges, custodians and service providers.”
The partnership follows significant developments for Rapid Addition in recent months and marks
a further industry collaboration to enhance trading solutions. In June 2025, the firm collaborated with Wedbush Securities in a move which saw the firm adopting Rapid Addition’s cloud-ready platform, with the aim of streamlining multi-asset trading, risk management, and post-trade processes.
Similarly, in February 2025, The TRADE revealed that Rapid Addition had partnered with trading technology firm Adaptive to integrate FIX capabilities into Adaptive’s custom trading technology platforms.
