The Brokerage Ecosystem by Koala.Markets

The Koala Ecosystem is more than just a new brokerage platform – it represents a globally connected trading network. Banks, brokers, fintechs, and other financial institutions benefit from an innovative environment that fosters seamless collaborations, drives new business relationships, and delivers a flexible, efficient, and future-proof trading framework.

Our goal is to simplify trading processes, strengthen international connections, and offer every participant bespoke solutions that perfectly address their specific trading and business requirements. The Koala Ecosystem forms the foundation for a new era in global securities trading.

Unlocking the Potential of the Koala Ecosystem

The Koala Ecosystem provides a cutting-edge brokerage system that connects banks, brokers, and financial service providers with specialized players. These include central securities depositories, securities master data providers, payment processors, market makers, liquidity providers, and global trading venues for equities, ETFs, funds, crypto assets, derivatives, and commodities. Our platform offers access to a wide range of markets, empowering efficient and flexible trading activities.

Use Case 1: Access to the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange Quotrix

Imagine a bank seeking to trade securities on the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange, Quotrix. With market makers like ICF already integrated into our ecosystem, they gain immediate access to a cost-efficient solution. Thanks to our intelligent routing and fully electronic interfaces, trading activities can be executed efficiently through the optimal channel. Should a new trading venue be required, we ensure a professional and transparent integration for a one-time connection fee. Our ecosystem remains adaptable to your needs.

Use Case 2: Koala.Markets as a Global Marketplace

Picture Koala.Markets as a comprehensive marketplace offering consumers direct access to financial institutions. Through the ecosystem, end clients can manage and trade their finances across borders. Whether it’s international trading venues, global clearinghouses, or specialized providers, our ecosystem connects all players on a single platform, delivering a flexible and future-proof trading environment. This not only unlocks new business opportunities but also sets new benchmarks in global securities trading.

Use Case 3: Building a Neo-Broker Platform

A wealth manager envisions launching a neo-broker platform to provide clients with modern, scalable trading solutions. Using the Koala Ecosystem's plug-and-play approach, all necessary providers can be seamlessly integrated. With customizable branding, rapid implementation, and streamlined processes, launching a tailored broker platform becomes swift and efficient.

Intelligent Integration of Trading Venues and Clearinghouses

The Koala Ecosystem enables the simultaneous use of multiple trading venues, custodians, and clearinghouses. Our intelligent routing system automatically selects the most efficient channel. With every new provider integrated into the system, the ecosystem grows, enabling innovative trading strategies and fostering strategic partnerships.

Example for the Custodian Bank: A neobroker offers its end customers a trading platform based on your white-label solution. As a custodian bank, you ensure seamless order execution, liquidity access, and full regulatory compliance

Together We Achieve More: The Power of Community in the Koala Ecosystem

The Koala Ecosystem harnesses the power of community to create synergies and deliver added value to all participants. The concept is simple: when multiple market participants, such as wealth managers, express interest in connecting to a new trading venue, the integration becomes more cost-effective and attractive for the venue operator

Collaborative Trading Venue Integration

If a single wealth manager requires integration to a new trading venue, we handle this on an individual basis. However, when five wealth managers seek the same integration, it evolves into a community-driven project. This approach benefits everyone:

• For the trading venue operator: Increased trading volumes make the integration more appealing.
• For the Koala community: Costs are shared among all participants.

Efficiency through Existing Connections

For trading venues already integrated within the Koala Ecosystem, onboarding new participants becomes significantly more affordable. Similar to a buying group, all participants benefit from a shared infrastructure, reducing costs and simplifying market access.

Accelerating Growth: Community Projects and Investment Opportunities

Strategic Growth Through Investors

To accelerate the development of the Koala Ecosystem, we are seeking strategic investors who share our vision. We offer the opportunity to become part of this groundbreaking project and actively contribute to reshaping the trading landscape.

Your Opportunity as an Investor:

• High-Impact Partnerships: We are open to equity-sharing arrangements for larger projects to drive collective growth.
• Scalable Business Model: Our revenue model focuses on trading volumes, not one- off integration fees.
• Expanding Network: Each new participant and trading venue enhances the ecosystem's reach and potential.

Long-Term Monetization Over Short-Term Profits

Our mission is to standardize trading processes and create cost-efficient setups for our clients. Once a trading venue or solution is integrated, we focus on participating in the generated trading volume. This ensures sustainable revenue streams while providing clients with cost- effective solutions.
