dxFeed Achieves High Marks in 2025 SIFMA/FIA Industry-Wide BC & DR Test

On January 9, 2026, dxFeed, a prominent provider of market data solutions and index management services for the global financial industry, announced its successful completion of the 2025 SIFMA/FIA Industry-Wide Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Test. This accomplishment reaffirms the company’s position as one of the most reliable and robust infrastructure partners in the financial market landscape.

A Benchmark for Preparedness

The SIFMA and FIA collaborate annually to organize this extensive industry-wide exercise. This year’s simulation involved nearly 100 participants including exchanges, clearinghouses, service providers, and market data vendors. The event serves as a vital benchmark for assessing the financial sector's readiness to operate under extreme disruptions and emergencies.

During the test, dxFeed exhibited operational excellence across all components:

• - Flawless DR Cutover: The company’s systems seamlessly transitioned to disaster recovery environments without any interruptions, ensuring the stability of real-time data dissemination.
• - Reliable Performance Across All Market Feeds: Every tested market data stream operated continuously, demonstrating no performance degradation during the exercise.
• - Strong Sector-Wide Results: Over 95% of success rates were reported across various metrics including order placement, data delivery, and trade execution, affirming the financial sector’s commitment to maintaining resilience under challenging conditions.

Despite some noted challenges, such as latency in communication between participants and isolated delays during cutover among a few market utilities, the exercise was recognized as one of the most effective and transparent undertaken in recent years.

A Reflection of Commitment

For dxFeed, these outstanding results illustrate more than just compliance; they spotlight the company's long-term vision and commitment to creating a highly available, geographically diversified, redundancy-first infrastructure. According to Stepan Bolshakov, Managing Director at dxFeed, “Each year, these tests provide us a platform to validate our readiness to support clients and markets without disruption under various stress scenarios.” Bolshakov emphasizes that the 2025 outcomes demonstrate the capabilities of their engineering teams and the maturity of their organizational systems, emphasizing an unwavering focus on delivering high-quality market data without interruption.

Extensive Preparation and Coordination

The successful execution of this year’s test called for extensive preparation and close coordination among dxFeed’s global teams. The process required nearly 25 hours of structured testing and validation across various systems. As the demand for ultra-reliable data infrastructure grows—fueled by advancements in algorithmic trading, market fragmentation, and continuous 24/5 and 24/7 market operations—dxFeed remains dedicated to enhancing its BC/DR capabilities.

The company intends to leverage insights acquired during the 2025 test to further optimize internal workflows, refine communication frameworks, and enhance disaster recovery procedures, ensuring peak readiness for all future industry-wide simulations.
