LiquidityEdge, the electronic US Treasuries trading venue, has reached record trading volumes during February.
On 28 February, LiquidityEdge participants traded over $31 billion across both on-the-runs and off-the-runs.
It also had a record week last month, with $101 billion traded between 21 and 28 February.
According to the trading venue, the increase in activity was due to the treasury actions, calender rolls and a record number of unique participants.
The record volumes in February follow on from those in January, where LiquidityEdge recorded average daily volumes of $16 billion, representing a 250 percent increase from 2018.
Nichola Hunter, CEO of LiquidityEdge said: “This trading data demonstrates that we are successfully challenging market structure and bringing about change in the largest global fixed income market for the benefit of participants. We expect our market share to continue to grow based on our deep customer pipeline and number of clients currently integrating into the platform.”
