    Surpassed $1 Trillion in Total Credit Quarterly Trading Volume for the First Time; Record $2 Trillion in Total Rates Volume

    43% Increase in Total Trading ADV in 2Q25 Driven by 22% Increase in Total Credit ADV and 58% Increase in Total Rates ADV

    MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MKTX), the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, today announced trading volume and preliminary variable transaction fees per million ("FPM") for June 2025 and the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.1

    Select Second Quarter Trading Records

    • Total trading average daily volume ("ADV") of $49.0 billion
    • Total credit ADV of $16.8 billion
    • U.S. high-grade ADV of $7.8 billion
    • Emerging markets ADV of $4.0 billion
    • Eurobonds ADV of $2.7 billion
    • Municipal bonds ADV of $643 million
    • Total portfolio trading ADV of $1.5 billion
    • Total Open Trading ADV of $5.0 billion
    • Total rates ADV of $32.2 billion

    Select Second Quarter 2025 Highlights* (See tables 1-1C and table 2)

    • The MarketAxess platform's strong year-over-year volume growth continued in June as volatility moderated through the quarter.
    • We delivered strong progress with our new initiatives across the client-initiated, portfolio trading and dealer-initiated channels that contributed to the record level of trading volumes across most products in the second quarter of 2025.

    Client-Initiated Channel

    • Strong growth in block trading ADV with record ADV across U.S. credit block trading increasing 37%, emerging markets increasing 27%, and eurobonds increasing 100%.
      • Block trading in emerging markets and eurobonds both benefitted from the launch of our targeted block solution in late 2024, which has generated cumulative trading volume of approximately $2.0 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, since launch.
    • Clients continued to leverage our algos in U.S. government bond trading, helping to drive a 57% increase in ADV to $30.8 billion with estimated market share of 2.6%.

    Portfolio Trading Channel

    • Estimated market share of U.S. credit portfolio trading was 17.5%, compared to 15.1% in the prior year.2

    Dealer-Initiated Channel

    • Dealer-initiated ADV increased 40% to $1.8 billion, including record levels of eurobonds activity.

    Second Quarter 2025 Variable Transaction Fees Per Million1 (See table 1D)

    • The decline in total credit FPM compared to the prior year was driven principally by protocol mix. The slight decline compared to 1Q25 was driven principally by protocol mix.
    • The decline in total rates FPM both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year was driven by the impact of product mix.

    *All comparisons versus second quarter 2024 unless noted.
