What OneMarketData does

OneMarketData, LLC (operating as OneTick) is a Hoboken, New Jersey-based financial technology company founded in 2004-2005 by Leonid Frants, Ph.D., that builds and sells the OneTick platform, a specialized time-series database and analytics stack purpose-built for high-resolution financial tick data. Its core technology is a proprietary tick database optimized to capture, store, and analyze trades, quotes, and order books with no disclosed limits on volume, peak rate, or historical depth, layered with a streaming event-processing engine, SQL and Pandas-like Python APIs, and pre-built surveillance, transaction cost analysis (TCA), and backtesting modules. The platform spans equities, futures, options, FX, and crypto across 200+ global markets, with 25+ years of normalized US tick history and 45+ years of end-of-day global equity data, partly built on the 2015 acquisition of Tick Data, LLC.

The company serves proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, investment banks, exchanges, routing and executing brokers, clearing firms, FCMs, market-makers, asset managers, and regulators, with a customer base exceeding 130 large institutions including Bloomberg, CME Group, Optiver, MIAX, the UK Financial Conduct Authority, TORA, and Beaxy. Revenue is generated through enterprise software subscriptions (perpetual and term licensing), hosted cloud services (OneTick Cloud, OneTick Elastic Analytics, Market Data Research Environment), market data subscriptions, and implementation/managed professional services, sold primarily via direct enterprise sales offices in New York/New Jersey, London, Chicago, and Yerevan (Armenia). In September 2025, OneMarketData merged with KX to form a unified capital markets data, analytics, AI, and surveillance platform under KX CEO Ashok Reddy as acting CEO of OneTick.
