The fundamental theorem of asset pricing says no-arbitrage is equivalent to existence of an equivalent measure under which discounted prices are martingales (FTAP-I); market completeness is uniqueness of that measure (FTAP-II). Itô integrals of L^2-integrands against Brownian motion are martingales by construction.
