BATS Global Markets, an innovative global financial markets technology company, reports that BATS Exchange earned 9.98% US matched market share in August on its single trading platform while BATS Europe reported August FTSE 100 market share of 4.11%.
BATS Europe also recorded 5.96% market share in the FTSE 100 today as it kicked off a month-long inverted pricing special, with a free liquidity removal incentive, for UK stocks. In the US, BATS ECN, the predecessor to BATS Exchange, ran similar specials in January and September 2007 and gained significant market share on both occasions.
“Over the last several months BATS has continued its tradition of continuous system improvement with significant enhancements completed in the matching engine, the Smart Order Router, and the networking infrastructure,” said Joe Ratterman, CEO of BATS Exchange and BATS Global Markets. “In addition to capacity, throughput, and functionality upgrades, the BATS technology team has also added several new routing destinations, making the BATS Smart Order Router one of the best solutions in the industry.
“Just one year ago, we were transitioning BATS Exchange from an ECN to a licensed US securities exchange and launching a European MTF, and now we are in the early stages of building a US equities options market. Our growth into other asset classes and global geographies will continue as we strive to Make Markets Better for trading participants,” he said.
