BondbloX Bond Exchange (BBX), the world’s first fractional bond exchange, has integrated with ICE Bonds to offer US corporate, municipal and treasury bond liquidity during ICE Bonds’ extended trading hours, which allows for trading in USD liquidity during US, European and Asian hours.
US liquidity will be available to trade on the BondbloX platform from 1 p.m. Singapore time Monday through Friday.
BondbloX CEO Rahul Banerjee said, “As we continue to help drive trading strategies and real-time investment decision-making for individual investors across the globe, we’re excited to work with ICE Bonds to provide greater transparency and deeper USD liquidity across fixed income markets on our platform.
“We launched the BondbloX platform for individual investors last year to simplify the buying, tracking and trading of bonds, and by working with ICE Bonds, we’re expanding our offering to offer deeper access to USD bond liquidity.”
BondbloX uses an exchange model for all-to-all order matching in contrast to the over-the-counter model that currently exists with dealers servicing individual investors over the telephone. BondbloX extended its global service offering to eligible individual investors with its launch of Asia’s First Bond Trading Platform for Individual Investors in October 2023.
ICE Bonds president Peter Borstelmann said, “By extending the trading hours of our platform, we’re not only broadening the depth and breadth of our network, but also enhancing the value of the liquidity within it. This underscores our commitment to providing our clients with greater accessibility and enriched trading opportunities.”
