The offering, which is delivered through Propellant’s analytics platform, and will allow trading desks within valantic FSA’s client base to gain access to real-time market activity, historical trade pricing and aggregated volume data, to incorporate into their trading decisions.
Additionally, the integration aligns with the growing importance of market visibility into activity and trends across the bond industry, ahead of the upcoming EU and UK fixed income consolidated tapes currently in development.

“Fixed income markets are entering a new era of transparency, and the demand for timely, high-quality data has never been greater,” said Vincent Grandjean, founder and chief executive at Propellant.
“This collaboration with valantic FSA makes that data immediately actionable, directly within their execution stack. It’s a step toward removing friction in fixed income workflows and turning transparency into client value.”
The collaboration also follows a recent trend of greater electronification and automation gaining traction across the fixed income trading industry.
Andy Browning, head of electronic trading at valantic FSA, said: “We continue to identify new partners in the fixed income ecosystem to enhance trading workflow automation at our clients. The integration of Propellant’s compelling data analytics into our cutting edge platform empowers our customers with better market intelligence that improves execution outcomes.”
The integration follows significant developments for valantic FSA recently. In July 2024, the firm was selected by Nasdaq to develop a new interface for its Nordic and Baltic fixed income markets, called Nasdaq Rates Trader, with the official go-live scheduled for October 2025.
The move also marks a further collaboration for Propellant, following news in January 2025 that Jefferies will leverage the firm’s data solutions to enhance its client offering, gain deeper market share insights and identify transparency opportunities.
