Wematch.live LLC Secures Canadian Regulatory Exemptions, Expanding Institutional Trading Access to Canada

NEW YORK, November 10, 2026 — Wematch.live LLC announced today that it has received exemptive relief enabling the platform to formally service institutional clients located in Canada.

Building upon our established US regulatory framework – including our SEC regulated SBSEF and ATS – this milestone opens our trading facilities to eligible Canadian institutional market participants seeking advanced execution, automated workflows and streamlined collateral optimization across Securities Finance.

“Expanding our regulatory footprint into Canada is a natural milestone for our institutional growth,” said Edward Hochstadter Jr., CEO, at Wematch.live LLC. “While focused and measured in its initial market impact, this exemption enables us to seamlessly onboard and service institutional clients located in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia who are looking for robust execution solutions.”

The formal order granting exemptive relief will be published in the OSC bulletin on November 12, 2026. Further details regarding product availability and onboarding procedures for Canadian institutional clients will be shared directly with participants.
