CHICAGO - s4story -- Rival Systems, a leading provider of trading and risk management technology, announced that its multi-asset platform, Rival One, has been named "Best Buy-Side Order Management System (OMS)" at WatersTechnology's 2025 Buy-Side Technology Awards. This marks the second consecutive year Rival has earned the distinction, highlighting its continued innovation and focus on delivering advanced, trader-driven solutions for the buy side.

Built for speed, scalability, and simplicity, Rival One allows firms to trade equities, futures, options, and crypto from a single, cloud-based system. Developed in close collaboration with active traders, the platform eliminates multiple front ends, streamlining operations, reducing technology overhead, and improving performance and transparency across markets.

"Winning this award two years in a row demonstrates how Rival One continues to transform the way trading firms operate," said Rob D'Arco, CEO of Rival Systems. "Our goal has always been to build technology that adapts to the trader—not the other way around. This recognition reinforces our vision to deliver intuitive tools that help firms thrive in dynamic markets."
