Spectrum Markets saw nearly 3.5 million trades in 2022.
The record trading volume was boosted by the platform's new partnerships.
Spectrum Markets, a
Germany-based securitized derivatives trading provider, saw a record year in
2022 as its order book turnover skyrocketed 147% to €3.33 billion (bn)
during the past year. The trading volume during this period also jumped by 68% from
848 million in 2021 to 1.42 billion.
The volume came from
almost 3.5 million trades executed in 2022, Spectrum Markets reported on
Tuesday in its full-year trading results shared with Finance Magnates. The trading provider noted that 2022 marked its third full calendar year in business.
Spectrum Markets’
record performance reflects its quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) growth in 2022. The
pan-European platform’s trading turnover jumped 188% to €771 million
during the first quarter and further shot up 14% QoQ to €879 million
during the second quarter. However, the turnover decreased 5% to €836 million
during the third quarter to regain momentum during the fourth quarter, reaching €842 million.

Giving a breakdown of
securitized derivatives handled on its platform in 2022, Spectrum noted that
86.9% of the trades were in indices. Other instruments, such as currency pairs (6.8%),
commodities (5%) equities (1.1%) and cryptocurrencies (0.2%) only made up
smaller percentages. In addition, Spectrum Markets pointed out that 38% of trades
executed in 2022 were completed outside the traditional hours (that is, between
17:30 and 9:00 CET).
Spectrum Markets’ New
Partnerships in 2022 Boost Volume
Throughout 2022,
Spectrum Markets, which now boasts a presence in Germany, France, Spain, Italy
and five other European countries, signed a number of partnership deals.
These partnerships brought new sources of trading volume to the platform, the firm noted in the financial report.
Last year, Spectrum Markets entered into connectivity deals with SIA, a Nexi Group
subsidiary, and Euronext Securities Milan. Additionally, the group onboarded Equita and
Intermonte, two Italian investment banks, as members of its multilateral
trading facility.
Furthermore, Spectrum
Markets partnered with Societe Generale as a new issuer of
listed securitized derivatives offered in Spain and the Nordic countries. In
May 2022, the securitized derivatives trading provider introduced cryptocurrency derivatives to its clients. In
addition, the firm partnered with iBroker in order to provide Spanish retail investors with access to leveraged instruments on its platform.
“The past 12 months
have been very successful for us, and we’ve made great progress on our growth
plans, notching up another record year, which is a testament to the hard work
of the whole Spectrum team, and the ongoing support of our partners and members,”
explained Nicky Maan, the Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Markets.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.
