What it means: This collaboration will enhance liquidity and simplify trading processes for investors by enabling cross-trading of securities listed on both AIX and ADX. Tabadul provides remote access for brokerage firms associated with the exchanges.
This integration follows a Memorandum of Understanding between AIX and ADX, signed in June 2023.
Freedom Finance Global has been recognized and onboarded as a Tabadul Hub broker from Kazakhstan, while BHM Capital has joined AIX as an ADX trading member via Tabadul.
