Feb. 4: Development Vendor Chosen for OSE’s Next Gen. Derivatives Trading System (J-GATE 4.0)
Osaka Exchange, Inc. (OSE) has chosen Nasdaq as the development vendor for its next generation derivatives trading system, J-GATE 4.0.
OSE plans to replace the current J-GATE 3.0 with JGATE 4.0 in the latter half of 2028.
