AEGIS Markets Wins OTC Trading Platform of the Year at 2025 Energy Risk Awards

AEGIS SEF, LLC (“AEGIS Markets”), a CFTC-regulated subsidiary of AEGIS Hedging Solutions and operator of a bilateral marketplace for commodity hedging, has once again been named OTC Trading Platform of the Year by Energy Risk at the 2025 Energy Risk Awards.

This marks back-to-back wins for AEGIS Markets, underscoring its growing impact on the industry as a modern, efficient and compliant swap execution platform for commodity hedgers.

The Energy Risk OTC Trading Platform of the Year award recognizes excellence in over-the-counter (OTC) trading platforms used in commodity markets. The OTC Trading Platform of the Year considers advancements and adoption across all OTC derivatives platforms (single-dealer, multi-dealer, MTFs, OTFs, etc.).

“As corporates attempted to hedge energy prices amid challenging market conditions last year, AEGIS Markets provided a stand-out service,” Stella Farrington, head of content at Energy Risk said. “Important enhancements to the platform included dashboard insights on macro hedging trends and the performance of users’ activities on the platform, helping the platform achieve record volumes in 2024,” she added.

Since launching in late 2022, AEGIS Markets has become a transformative force in commodity hedging. The platform connects more than 400 hedging entities to 33 liquidity providers, offering over 280 listed products on a fully-regulated hedging marketplace. Continuing its momentum into 2025, AEGIS Markets saw Q1 trade activity jump by 63% year over year.

“AEGIS Markets was built to make commodity hedging more transparent, compliant, and efficient,” said Andrew Furman, President of AEGIS Markets. “This recognition reflects the trust our clients and liquidity providers have placed in us and the results they’re achieving through our marketplace model.”

Platform highlights over the past 12 months include:

• 29% growth in trade volume versus 2024;
• Executing the one millionth contract in October 2024;
• Introduction of Dealer Dashboards, Watching alerts, and Straight to Working order types; and
• Widespread API and Straight Through Processing (STP) adoption across dealers.

“AEGIS Markets has fundamentally changed the way end users execute hedges,” added Bryan Sansbury, CEO of AEGIS. “As transactions in every industry and product move to online marketplaces, it is hard to believe that it wasn’t long ago that swap transactions worth millions of dollars in notional value were being executed in chats and phone calls.”

A regulated entity, AEGIS Markets participants can be secure in knowing that its reporting and cybersecurity processes are reviewed regularly. One of the Marketplace’s public directors, a cybersecurity expert, praised AEGIS Markets’ security posture as “more mature than many large firms with full-time security teams.”
