Everything you need to know about Tabadul and cross-market trading.

A platform established by ADX in 2022, based on the mutual market access model at the regional and global levels. Tabadul aims to improve cooperation and increase liquidity in the participating markets, by enabling trading across the markets.

Both individuals and institutional investors can trade in the members markets via Tabadul.

Investors can access foreign exchanges through their local brokers. The local broker in each exchange carries out customer due diligence procedures (KYC) in accordance with the conditions and mechanisms established for this purpose.
