Commenting on the recent financial results, Lee Olesky, CEO of Tradeweb, said: “January 2021 was Tradeweb’s busiest month ever, and the second time in the last twelve months that our monthly ADV topped $1 trillion. We saw increased momentum building on the back of our record Q4 activity, with heavy volumes across asset classes. While there were many factors contributing to this activity, there is no question that client-driven innovation continues to inspire stronger adoption of our tools and technology.”

“Records in U.S. High Grade, U.S. High Yield, and European credit were buoyed by record activity in global portfolio trading. Anonymous all-to-all trading and anonymous session-based trading remained strong in both U.S. and European Credit. The U.S. Credit platform captured record TRACE market share in High Grade. TRACE High-Grade market share was 20.5% (10.1% fully electronic) and TRACE High Yield market share was 6.2% (3.2% fully electronic). Credit derivatives ADV was up 10.8% YoY to $9.5bn,” Tradeweb mentioned in the press release.
Finance Magnates earlier reported about Tradeweb’s record month in October due to higher activity in the US, and European government bond markets, along with a surge in ETF trading.
