Jump Liquidity was created by Jump Trading, one of the world’s leading market makers, to provide Clients direct access to Jump’s principal liquidity across a variety of global asset classes.

Jump draws upon its experience trading on over 100 venues worldwide in a variety of asset classes, including fixed income, equities, futures, commodities, and currencies.
