NEW YORK: 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 November 2025.1

Select November 2025 Highlights* (See tables 1-1C and table 2)

Our new initiatives continued to show solid year-over-year progress across the client-initiated, portfolio trading and dealer-initiated channels. We also unveiled our new Closing Auctions protocol during the month, the first standardized market-wide auction protocol in fixed-income.

Client-Initiated Channel

  • 46% growth in block trading average daily volume (“ADV”), with strong growth across U.S. credit (+34%), emerging markets (+61%) and eurobonds (+83%).
    - Cumulative trading volume from our targeted block trading solution is now approximately $12 billion.

Portfolio Trading Channel

  • 47% increase in total portfolio trading ADV to $1.4 billion, including a 55% increase in U.S. credit portfolio trading ADV.
  • Our estimated market share of U.S. credit portfolio trading was 17.6%, compared to 13.5% in the prior year.

Dealer-Initiated Channel

  • 32% increase in dealer-initiated ADV to $1.9 billion, consisting of a 21% increase in DRFQ ADV and a 153% increase in Mid-X ADV.

November 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, partially offset by the higher duration of bonds traded in U.S. high-grade. The slight decline in total credit FPM compared to October 2025 was driven principally by protocol mix, partially offset by the higher duration of bonds traded in U.S. high-grade.
  • The increase in total rates FPM year-over-year and month-over-month was driven by the impact of product mix.

*All comparisons versus November 2024 unless noted.
