Hult commented. “The second quarter of 2024 culminated with a strong June, led
by a 54% YoY increase in rates ADV and continued momentum in credit ADV – up
67% YoY.”

He added
that the company set new records for quarterly ADV in several key areas,
including U.S. government bonds, fully electronic US high yield, and repo
trading. June’s performance was particularly noteworthy, with rates ADV surging
54% YoY and credit ADV jumping 67% YoY.

experienced a slight decline, down 11.1% YoY to $8.1 billion, while European
ETF ADV increased 18.1% YoY to $2.8 billion.
