EXANTE launches €1M fund to support critical open-source infrastructure

Global prime broker EXANTE has launched Gecko Fund , a €1 million grant programme designed to support open-source software projects that play a critical role in trading systems, financial data infrastructure, and broader financial technology ecosystems. The initiative aims to provide direct funding to maintainers of widely used but often underfunded open-source technologies, including APIs, developer tools, core infrastructure libraries, and projects that support modern financial services.
