Fastmarkets partners with TMX Trayport to build digital lithium market infrastructure
Fastmarkets has announced a partnership with TMX Group's subsidiary, TMX Trayport, to develop 'Fastmarkets Connect,' its new digital platform for the physical lithium market. The collaboration aims to combine Fastmarkets' expertise in lithium pricing and market data with TMX Trayport’s established technology infrastructure used across energy, environmental, and bulk commodity markets. The initiative is intended to enhance transparency, connectivity, and access to spot liquidity within a sector where electronic price discovery mechanisms are still underdeveloped. The platform will support bilateral trade facilitation, improve standardization, and connect participants throughout the lithium supply chain. Fastmarkets Connect was first introduced in June 2026 at the Global Lithium Conference. TMX Trayport will provide the technological backbone for the platform while Fastmarkets oversees operations and market integration. The development is being guided by an industry advisory group representing stakeholders across the lithium value chain.
