BATS Trading Inc. announced that its alternative trading system set a daily volume record yesterday with more than 758 million shares traded.
The firm said its platform continued to perform as expected under the market’s increasing volumes. BATS noted it had touched roughly 12.5% of all Nasdaq-listed volume, 8.3% of Amex-listed volume and 4.3% of NYSE-listed trading.
“It’s great to see continued volume and market share growth at BATS,” said chief executive Joe Ratterman. “The market’s recent surge has been a great test for our platform and, as a result, we remain fully confident that we are ready to handle daily volumes well beyond our next target milestone of 1 billion shares.”
