Equiduct: evolutionary leapfrog

Turquoise: the banks slowly muscle in

Euro Millennium is a European offshoot of the Millennium darkpool that has been operated in the US by Nyfix, a technology company, since 2002.

Trades are cleared by Nyfix, which has broker-dealer status, and settled locally on a pan-European basis by BNP Paribas.

It offers anonymous crossing of orders either at the mid-point of the bid-offer spread, at a specified price or within a range, to allow for higher fill rates.

Unlike some other crossing networks, the Millennium systems are truly neutral.
