Dear Xignite User,

This week was a big week for Xignite as we had the exclusive opportunity to be part of NASDAQ OMX launch of their new Last Sale product. NASDAQ Last Sale is a new product that places real-time market data in the hands of millions of individual investors without the display restrictions and costly user fees of existing Level I data.

NASDAQ became the first U.S. stock exchange to offer such a service and Xignite was the first market data vendor to support it. As part of this announcement, CNBC, Google, and Dow Jones (The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch) announced that they were placing NASDAQ last sale quotes on their web sites.

"This is an important, and in many ways, overdue development in the U.S. securities markets," stated Adena Friedman, Executive Vice President, NASDAQ OMX. "With universal access to the Internet and the real-time nature of the web, investors need real time data, and now they don't have to pay for it, thanks to CNBC, Google, The Wall Street Journal Digital Network and Xignite."

Several clients are already taking advantage of XigniteLastSale to provide real-time quotes on public web properties. Contact us today to learn more about it.

Xignite opened the market on June 2 with Google, Dow Jones and CNBC. This was an exciting event and we are looking forward to working with NASDAQ on this product. Watch the video on YouTube

Also next week is the week of the major industry event: The SIFMA show which will take place at the Hilton New York from June 10 to June 12. This is the first year that we will be showing so if you are in town, please stop by. Access to the exhibit hall is free.
