Selected clients: SGX FX Markets, Cage Capital
Investment firms and trading venues face some of the most demanding regulatory requirements in the financial sector. Whether you're pursuing an MTF/OTF licence, implementing MiFID II obligations, or managing ongoing surveillance and reporting, the margin for error is minimal.
Diletti works at the intersection of regulation and operations — helping firms translate regulatory text into practical, implementable frameworks. We've been through the AFM licensing process, built transaction reporting pipelines, and designed market surveillance frameworks from the ground up.
