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 September 2025 and the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.1
Chris Concannon, CEO of MarketAxess, commented:
“Despite historic levels of new issuance in U.S. credit in September, which dampened our estimated market share in the month, we set a new record for U.S. credit portfolio trading ADV and market share. We also generated strong year-over-year growth in ADV in our combined emerging markets and eurobonds product areas of 9% in September, driven in part by record levels of emerging markets hard currency trading ADV, which increased 13%. Additionally, in September, we set a new record for our single highest credit trading volume day ever on the platform on the last trading day of the month. With our new initiatives in the client-initiated channel, block trading ADV in emerging markets and eurobonds increased 35% and 41%, respectively. In the portfolio trading channel, we delivered record U.S. high-yield market share of 25.9%. The growth in these new initiatives is being driven by the technology modernization that we are delivering across U.S. credit, eurobonds and emerging markets.”
Select Third Quarter 2025 Highlights* (See tables 1-1C and table 2)
We continued to show solid progress year-over-year with our new initiatives across the client-initiated, portfolio trading and dealer-initiated channels.
Client-Initiated Channel
-
10% growth in block trading ADV, including 20% growth in emerging markets and 58% growth in eurobonds block trading ADV.
— Cumulative trading volume from our targeted block trading solution is now approximately $10.1 billion.
Portfolio Trading Channel
- 20% increase in total portfolio trading ADV to $1.4 billion, with record U.S. high-yield portfolio trading ADV of $341 million. These results for the quarter were driven by strong monthly total portfolio trading ADV in September 2025 of $1.7 billion.
- Our third quarter estimated market share of U.S. credit portfolio trading was 19.1%, compared to 20.0% in the prior year, but up from 17.5% in second quarter 2025.
- Our U.S. credit portfolio trading market share in September hit a new monthly record of 22.5%. This strong performance was in part driven by record U.S. high-yield market share of 25.9%, representing an increase of approximately 730 basis points year-over-year.
Dealer-Initiated Channel
- Dealer-initiated ADV increased 18% to $1.5 billion.
Third 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 increase compared to 2Q25 was driven principally by product mix, specifically the higher duration of bonds traded in U.S. high-grade on an increase in the weighted average years to maturity traded.
- Total rates FPM was in line with the prior year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by the impact of product mix.
*All comparisons versus third quarter 2024 unless noted.

3 |
“Other Credit Products” includes municipal bonds, leveraged loans, convertible bonds and structured products. |
4 |
The number of U.S. trading days is based on the SIFMA holiday recommendation calendar and the number of U.K. trading days is based primarily on the U.K. Bank holiday schedule. |

These and other statements that relate to future results and events are based on MarketAxess’ current expectations. The Company’s actual results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected or desired because of a number of risks and uncertainties, including: global economic, political and market factors; the level of trading volume transacted on the MarketAxess platform; the rapidly evolving nature of the electronic financial services industry; the level and intensity of competition in the fixed-income electronic trading industry and the pricing pressures that may result; the variability of our growth rate; our ability to introduce new fee plans and our clients’ response; our ability to attract clients or adapt our technology and marketing strategy to new markets; risks related to our growing international operations; our dependence on our broker-dealer clients; the loss of any of our significant institutional investor clients; our exposure to risks resulting from non-performance by counterparties to transactions executed between our clients in which we act as an intermediary in matched principal trades; risks related to self-clearing; risks related to sanctions levied against states or individuals that could expose us to operational or regulatory risks; the effect of rapid market or technological changes on us and the users of our technology; issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence; our dependence on third-party suppliers for key products and services; our ability to successfully maintain the integrity of our trading platform and our response to system failures, capacity constraints and business interruptions; the occurrence of design defects, errors, failures or delays with our platforms, products or services; our vulnerability to malicious cyber-attacks and attempted cybersecurity breaches; our actual or perceived failure to comply with privacy and data protection laws; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights or technology and defend against intellectual property infringement or other claims; our use of open-source software; our ability to enter into strategic alliances and to acquire other businesses and successfully integrate them with our business; our dependence on our management team and our ability to attract and retain talent; limitations on our flexibility because we operate in a highly regulated industry; the increasing government regulation of us and our clients; risks related to the divergence of U.K. and European Union legal and regulatory requirements following the U.K.’s exit from the European Union; our exposure to costs and penalties related to our extensive regulation; our risks of litigation and securities laws liability; our tax filing positions; the effects of climate change or other sustainability risks that could affect our operations or reputation; our future capital needs and our ability to obtain capital when needed; limitations on our operating flexibility contained in our credit agreement; our exposure to financial institutions by holding cash in excess of federally insured limits; and other factors.
