KX IS TRUSTED BY
The Problem Most Firms Have
YOUR DATA DOESN’T AGREE
WITH ITSELF
Capital markets AI has a data problem, not a model problem. Most firms assemble research infrastructure from 4–6 point solutions, each with its own data model and vendor. Models reason over an incomplete picture, and the outputs show it.
- 78% of quants say current data strategies will lead to failure. (KX Capital Markets Data Report 2026)
- $12.9M avg annual cost of poor data quality in financial services. (Gartner)
- 33% of AI budgets are spent on unsuccessful data projects. (KX Capital Markets Data Report 2026)

01
TRUSTED DATA FOUNDATION
Curated market data, or your own. Clean, mapped, aligned.
02
FAST PATH TO ANALYTICS
Managed, or your own engine. Microsecond queries on billions of rows.
03
AI YOU CAN TRUST
Market context for your agents. Calculable, not probabilistic.
04
BUILT-IN GOVERNANCE
Surveillance and audit on the same foundation. Defensible by design.
One Data Foundation.
Every Stage of the Trade.
From first tick to final audit entry, every stage on one trusted data foundation. Bring our curated market data, your own, or both. The same source of truth runs research, execution, and oversight. Select any stage to explore.

STOP PAYING
THE DATA TAX.
The only AI-ready, temporal market data service for capital markets.
Quant and AI teams lose 60–80% of their time to the Data Tax — cleaning feeds, mapping symbols, aligning timestamps — before a single hypothesis runs. And every model built on bad data inherits its errors. KX delivers curated, AI-ready market data across 250+ venues: hydrated, point-in-time, query-ready on Day 1, in Python, SQL, or REST. No feed handlers. An AI layer that can trust what’s underneath it.

BUILT FOR MARKETS
THE DATA YOUR AI CAN TRUST.
Capital markets data, captured at scale and AI-ready by default. Queries answered in microseconds. One architecture, one audit trail.
ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Databricks were built for general data. KX was built for markets.
THE PLATFORM · IN PRACTICE
ONE FOUNDATION.
A PROVEN BLUEPRINT.
A proven blueprint for capital markets. Start with our curated data or bring your own, then consume it through managed analytics or your own programmable engine. Start anywhere; we carry you as far as you want to go.
The Foundation
OneTick Market Data
Curated, AI-ready global tick data: 250+ venues, 30 years of history, normalized and T+1. The foundation for backtests, models, and AI agents that actually trust the data underneath. No feed handlers to manage, no pipeline to build.
Choose Your Path
TRADE & MARKET SURVEILLANCE
DEFENSIBLE BY DESIGN.
CROSS-ASSET BY DEFAULT.
When the regulator asks, you can answer confidently.

500B+ msgs/day
Production-tested at NYSE scale
Tick-Level Audit
Every alert traceable to the underlying tick. Reconstruct any event with point-in-time precision.
Cross-Asset Coverage
Equities, derivatives, FX, fixed income: unified view across linked products and venues.
Explainable ML Alerts
Self-tuning models reduce false positives. White-box logic: investigators see why an alert fired.
75+ OOTB Scenarios
MAR, MiFID II, SEC, FINRA, IIROC. Spoofing, layering, marking the close, wash trading, and more.
WHY YOUR AI NEEDS A SENSE OF TIME
YOUR AGENTS NEED MARKET CONTEXT.
GIVE YOUR AI A SENSE OF TIME.
Generic AI sees data. Temporal AI sees data in time. KX is the layer that joins structured market data to the unstructured context that explains it, at the moment it happened, so every signal, model output, and agent action is calculable, not probabilistic. It’s how we prevent temporal hallucination: AI outputs that are semantically correct but belong to the wrong era.

What AI runs on
Without Temporal Grounding
The model isn’t wrong. The data underneath it is, and the agent reports it with total confidence.
Phantom Crash
An unadjusted corporate action shows up as a 75% overnight collapse. The agent flags a crisis that never happened.
Symbol Drift
The same instrument carries three identifiers across venues. The agent treats one position as three, or misses it entirely.
Look-Ahead Leak
The backtest sees information that didn’t exist yet. The strategy looks brilliant, until it trades real capital.
Temporal grounding is what turns each of these from a silent failure into a non-event, because the data knows when every value was true.
