Blue Ocean is building a healthy overnight market for US securities. With our widely publicized welcoming of retail online broker Robinhood, to our platform, access to our markets is becoming even more widespread, and better known.
As knowledge of the Blue Ocean value proposition continues to reach further audiences, trading the US overnight hours at Blue Ocean is increasingly becoming an important tool for firms managing risk and to seek opportunities. New records for activity on our ATS each month are a clear indicator of the momentum and increasing demand.
At the close of the first five months of the year, we nearly reached a momentous milestone of one billion shares (960M actual) traded year to date. We and our customers are extremely pleased with our progress, and we look forward to reporting further notable achievements as the summer unfolds.
