PSE beefs up trading system with upgrade to Nasdaq's most advanced platform
Nasdaq Eqlipse represents Nasdaq's investments in modernizing, standardizing, and strengthening its platform capabilities, application architecture, APIs, and product integration.
The modular trading platform enables market operators to incorporate complementary functionality, including pre-trade risk management, advanced options pricing, and index calculations, with a flexible deployment model that helps reduce operational overhead and provides optionality around cloud adoption.
“With technology as a key area in our strategic agenda, it is important for PSE to work with a trusted service provider of market technologies. Given this, PSE opted to renew its partnership with Nasdaq to ensure continuity in offering a dependable trading system that meets all our current and future requirements,” said PSE President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon.
The recently launched Nasdaq Eqlipse platform is the fourth generation of its suite of multi-asset marketplace technology platforms, marking a major milestone in the company's five-year cycle of investment to develop and gradually roll out a fully interoperable suite of proven solutions across trading, clearing, central securities depository, and data intelligence.
The harmonized portfolio enhances Nasdaq's ability to form deeper strategic technology partnerships with its clients, including more than 135 infrastructure providers around the world.
"The launch of Nasdaq Eqlipse following years of investment and development to reinforce our ability to enhance liquidity, transparency, and integrity across global capital markets," said Nasdaq Head of Marketplace Technology Magnus Haglind.
He added that, "Our technology partnership with PSE will help strengthen its market infrastructure, and we're excited to support their efforts to elevate Philippine capital markets on the global stage."

“Our growing presence in the Philippines complements the country’s extraordinary development as one of the fastest growing economies in the ASEAN region,” said R.G. Manalac, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific at Nasdaq.
He noted that, “With growth of course comes challenges and we are excited to be working with leading domestic and global banks in the Philippines as they continue to innovate and scale in this digital and increasingly AI driven age. Our solutions spanning across capital markets, regulation, and risk management continue to prove critical as these firms look to expand their businesses in a scalable and efficient manner.”
