We started two years ago with the unique and innovative concept that the buy-side has vast amounts of liquidity that RFQ has failed to execute and no one can see that liquidity - Paul Reynolds, Bondcube CEO
Paul Reynolds, Bondcube CEO commented about the launch that “We started two years ago with the unique and innovative concept that the buy-side has vast amounts of liquidity that RFQ has failed to execute and no one can see that liquidity. Our very supportive first adopters have already proven our concept works at a level that exceeds our expectations. We have taken that concept further now by enabling website visitors to load their lists of securities and receive email alerts when the platform has an indication of interest in one of them.”
Martin Reck, Managing Director of Deutsche Börse Cash Market added “We congratulate Bondcube for this milestone and wish the market every success. The 30% stake Deutsche Börse AG holds in Bondcube Ltd reinforces our strategy of supporting companies with new solutions for firms seeking alternative sources of liquidity,” adding “it also ensures that we are well positioned in the ever-changing corporate bonds market.”
