Back in December, TT announced that Rakuten Securities Inc. was a participating broker in its global MultiBroker service with direct market access to forty markets across five continents.
The new partnership will connect TT to KCG’s Fixed Income Liquidity Software, enabling KCG to provide US Treasury liquidity to both X_Trader and TT platform users – this offering of liquidity is the first such opportunity granted to a non-exchange provider.
The move will target professional traders and market participants who desire a fixed point of access to multiple avenues of global fixed income liquidity. Furthermore, users will now be able to utilize a variety of trading strategies for US Treasury markets.
As a result of the new accord, KCG will augment TT’s current connectivity base to US Treasury and Treasury futures markets, permeating a total of 40 exchanges and liquidity destinations.
