This is our response to the growing demand. We have further expanded our range of products with this latest addition. The aim is to successively add a selective number of shares in response to customer demand.โ

Stock Trading in Europe
Since the start of 2020, stock trading volumes across the European region have jumped significantly. "Usually, it is only a small number of stocks that account for about 90 percent of the trading volume. An analysis in the affiliated countries of our pan-European Trading Platform , including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium, clearly indicates as much," Eraslan added.
Headquartered in Germany, Spectrum Markets is the trading name of Spectrum MTF Operator GmbH. Spectrum Markets is a pan-European trading venue for securitized derivatives aimed at financial institutions and their retail investors.
