BATS Global Markets (BATS) today announces highlights for January, including the successful merger close with Direct Edge Holdings LLC and new monthly market share records in Europe, including 18.2% in Spain’s IBEX 35 and 9.0% in Depositary Receipts (FTSE ROIB).
As previously reported, BATS and Direct Edge completed their merger on Jan. 31, combining two customer-focused exchange operators as one of the world’s largest stock market companies. In January, pro forma market share for the company’s combined exchanges (BZX Exchange, BYX Exchange, EDGX, EDGA) totaled 20.54%.
In Europe, BATS Chi-X Europe remains the largest equities exchange with overall market share of 22.1% in January. Also, BATS’ industry leading pan-European trade reporting service BXTR, launched in October, continues to grow with a record 48.4% of OTC equity market share1 in January. In February, the exchange announced it would be the first to introduce Market Model Typology – or MMT. The standard, which will be administered by the FIX Trading Community, aims to facilitate consistent trade reporting of post-trade data across European Union trading venues.
“Building on a pivotal year in 2013, our strong January – capped by the successful completion of our merger with Direct Edge – was a big step forward for the company and our customers,” said BATS Global Markets CEO Joe Ratterman.
“As we make progress on the integration of our two companies and continue to set the pace on numerous fronts in Europe, you can expect to see an enhanced exchange operator that continues to focus on the needs of the customer and bringing even more transparency and efficiency to the industry going forward,” he said.
In other markets, BATS Options reported 3.3% U.S. market share for the month.
