Aquis Exchange has launched its European dark trading venue, the Aquis Matching Pool EU.
This marks the expansion of Aquis Exchange's dark trading service, which was previously only available as a UK venue, and complements its existing suite of cost-effective, low market-impact order books and trading services.
Launching the EU dark pool will result in increased trading flow, market share and subsequent revenue for the MTF [trading] business, it added.
David Stevens, chief revenue officer, said: "We are very excited about the launch of AMP.
“Dark trading continues to grow in Europe and we intend for Aquis to be an important player in this market.
“The launch of EU AMP therefore represents an important milestone for Aquis as we continue to grow our presence in this space."
