Shoonya Upgrades to Trading-cum-Clearing Member (TM-CM) on MCX

MOHALI, India, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shoonya by Finvasia has officially announced its upgrade from a Trading Member (TM) to a Trading-cum-Clearing Member (TM-CM) on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The transition took place after market hours on Friday, May 16, 2025, and has been fully operational from Monday, May 19, 2025.

This milestone marks a significant enhancement in Shoonya's operational capabilities.

The move reflects the company's long-term strategy to build stronger back-end efficiencies while extending the benefits directly to its users.

Speaking on the development, Sarvjeet Singh Virk, Co-founder and Managing Director of Finvasia, said, "At Shoonya, our mission has always been to make investing affordable and efficient for every Indian. Upgrading to a TM-CM on MCX is a key milestone in that journey, one that eliminates clearing costs and enables faster, and secure settlements. It is yet another example of how we're investing in technology and tech-related solutions to deliver a simplified, intuitive and frictionless user experience."

There will be no impact on users during this transition. All open positions, holdings, deposits, and trading access will remain unchanged. This upgrade underscores Shoonya's vision of delivering a modern investment experience where efficiency, transparency, and long-term value come standard.
