Eventus has been honored with the Best Market, Trade or Communications Surveillance Solution award for its Validus platform at the Regulation Asia Awards 2026, highlighting its innovation and efficacy in trade surveillance solutions.

Nigeria U23 side the Olympic Eagles beat Grassrunners FC 3 to 1 in a friendly in Ikenne on Friday, with Abdulmuiz Adeleke, Habila Simeon and Eventus Itowo on target before the DR Congo qualifiers.

Eventus, a leading provider of comprehensive, at-scale trade surveillance and financial risk solutions, last night won the award for Best Market, Trade or Communications Surveillance Solution for its Validus platform at the ninth annual Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence. The firm and its platform have now earned eight honors in the rigorous awards program since 2021. A member of the independent judging panel said: "Eventus offers the best balance of detailed abuse detection, multi-asset scale, explainable alert automation and material advances over the past twelve months." Eventus CEO Cameron Routh said: "Market participants across the Asia-Pacific region face increased scrutiny of market conduct, supervisory controls, algorithmic trading, cross-market manipulation and alert governance. These firms often trade across multiple venues, asset classes, desks and jurisdiction, making it extremely difficult to maintain consistent and robust surveillance for those companies using fragmented or legacy systems. We're delighted to earn another Regulation Asia Award for solving the challenges encountered by our clients conducting business in the region through a single, configurable surveillance environment." Bradley Maclean, Chair of the Awards Committee, Regulation Asia, said: "Surveillance teams need to know why an alert fired. Eventus backed every abuse typology with a clear detection mechanism, and managed false positives with discipline." The Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence celebrate financial institutions, technology providers, regulators, policymakers and advisory firms driving progress in compliance, managing risks, fostering resilience and safeguarding market integrity. By addressing the region's unique regulatory challenges and evolving landscape, the leading firms are "shaping a stronger, more sustainable financial ecosystem for Asia," Regulation Asia says, and the awards provide a platform to honor those driving innovation and leading efforts to manage risk, enhance resilience and uphold the integrity of Asia's financial system. The independent judging panel for the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence included seasoned practitioners at the forefront of regulatory, compliance and policymaking. Eventus has clients on six continents surveilling multiple asset classes, including 30 active clients in the Asia-Pacific region, ranging from brokerage firms, to proprietary trading firms and digital asset marketplaces. More than half of Eventus' new global clients have a presence in APAC. Eventus has earned 18 honors for its work in the APAC region, including Market Surveillance Solution of the Year at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards in September and Best Trade Surveillance Solution at A-Team Group's Capital Markets Technology Awards APAC. The firm has won 57awards and honors since 2018, including last month's AI in Capital Markets Award for Best AI Solution for Trade Surveillance, as well as the Risk Technology Award for Trade Surveillance Product of the Year.
