A Note from the CEO
Roman Ginis

What we started with was very simple: a desire to democratize great execution.


We believed US equities traders deserved a venue that helped them trade better and solved for their objectives -- great price discovery with minimal market impact. And, as traders, researchers, and engineers, we knew we could build it.



So, four years ago this month, we set out to level up the world of traditional equities trading and launched the IntelligentCross ATS.



We’re now proud to see our ASPEN book displaying orders better than the NBBO over 10 million times per day on arrival and contributing to price discovery! We’re thrilled to see close to 1 bps lower market impact on our Midpoint book which--scaled against the US equities market--could save investors $10 billion a year.  And we love watching traders embrace what we offer – which is why we’re now breaking 1% TCV.

Our passion for democratizing great execution is as high as it was on day one. It’s what keeps us working for it every day.
