OTC Markets Launches Overnight Trading Platform, Expanding Access For Global Investors
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 (Bernama) -- OTC Markets Group Inc, an operator of regulated financial markets for over 12,000 United States (US) and global securities, has launched MOON ATS, a new overnight trading platform for National Market System (NMS) securities.
“America’s capital markets are the centre of the financial world. We are excited to launch more opportunities for global investors to trade a range of stocks through the US broker-dealers.
“We believe we bring a unique value proposition by utilising our mission critical infrastructure to serve clients in a new market that is poised for significant growth,” said OTC Markets Executive Vice President of Market Data, Matt Fuchs in a statement.
MOON will offer access to NMS securities listed on major exchanges during the overnight session, making OTC Markets Group one of the first ATS operators offering broker-dealer subscribers the ability to trade both OTC equity and exchange-listed NMS securities overnight.
In addition, MOON will provide Asia Pacific investors with access to the US NMS securities during their local daytime hours, while also offering US investors with the ability to trade in the late evening and early morning hours.
The launch of OTC Overnight and MOON ATS comes amid growing demand for global securities priced in US dollars and traded during the overnight session. These platforms are designed to significantly expand market accessibility, transparency, and data coverage on a global scale.
The introduction of these services marks a new milestone in overnight trading, meeting the needs of broker-dealers and investors worldwide.
