Hotspot trading volumes in August little changed from July

Hotspot FX, the multi-dealer platform owned by Knight Capital Group, said month-on-month average daily volumes (ADV) rose 1.45% in August

The platform said total volume traded was $1,449.8 billion with an ADV of $63 billion. The heightened volatility last month was reflected in Hotspot’s volumes in the early part of the month, where trading neared record levels. Aug. 4 was its 4th busiest day on record, where it traded $95.7 billion, the company said in a statement .

In reviewing trading volumes across the major multi-dealer exchanges that publically disclosed data, Hotspot’s ADVs were below its rivals. The CME’s volumes rose 12%, Reuters 9% and EBS 3.5%. Still, the company says August year-on-year growth since 2010 is 103.4% and it continues to outpace other platforms.
