Tradeweb to Offer Access to Asian Dark Pool BlocSec
Tradeweb, a global provider of online markets, is now offering traders access to the Asian dark pool BlocSec through the global financial information exchange Autex Trade Route.
BlocSec, which was launched in 2008, is the first Asian dark pool to cater to buy-side and sell-side investors. The service has also become a key Asian liquidity aggregator and electronic crossing network for Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Australian equities, Christian Chan, CLSA’s director of electronic execution sales, said in a statement.
