Weekly Highlights

  • IntelligentCross set a new market share record in the last full week of October, achieving 182bps of the total consolidated volume (TCV) for the first time on Friday. This came in a challenging week of rising spreads, decreased post-trade stability, and a decline in larger trade contributions to the overall market volume. These conditions underscored the importance of spread savings and performance.

  • The growth of IntelligentCross' market share is attributed to our subscribers' capability to execute quality trades even in such demanding contexts. In fact, the past week marked our highest ever daily match quantity for spread-saving Midpoint liquidity and demi-block and larger trades (starting at 2000 shares).

  • More importantly, we continue to see growing interest from our subscribers to trade transparently using our free market data feed, IQX. Last week was a record week for average daily displayed order qty at or larger than both median trade and round lot sizes.

  • If you haven't yet leveraged our platform to boost your trading outcomes, we urge you to connect with us. Our displayed ASPEN quotes are available through our market data feed, IQX, which can be accessed directly or via providers such as Exegy, MayStreet, Redline, and ACTIV.
