Capitolis UK secures FCA approval to operate OTF
Fintech company Capitolis today announced that Capitolis UK Limited, a subsidiary of Capitolis Inc., has received regulatory approval to operate an Organized Trading Facility (OTF).
The approval to operate an OTF came from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and included authorization to operate as an investment firm as well.
In addition to the FCA’s OTF approval, on March 24, 2026, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) added the Capitolis UK OTF to its list of UK OTFs eligible for prior CFTC no-action relief, eliminating the need for CFTC SEF registration.
With these developments, Capitolis has brought two critical components of its regulatory infrastructure in-house, establishing a strong foundation to unlock new client opportunities and enabling more efficient, streamlined execution for its expanding network.
“We are excited to have received these important authorizations,” said Gavin Jackson, Co-Head of Portfolio Optimization at Capitolis. “This capability allows us to engage more directly with our clients, support broader participation across our network, and deliver optimization opportunities with greater efficiency and seamless execution.”
