  • Significant investments, such as the $1.12 million from Significant Wealth Partners LLC, indicate strong market confidence in MarketAxess.
  • The successful execution of the first Casada trade via RFQ and the launch of Open Trading® for emerging market bonds position MarketAxess as a pioneer in electronic fixed-income trading.

What critics are saying
