Blue Ocean is building a healthy overnight market for US securities. With our widely publicized welcoming of retail online broker Robinhood, to our platform,  access to our markets is becoming even more widespread, and better known.


As knowledge of the Blue Ocean value proposition continues to reach further audiences, trading the US overnight hours at Blue Ocean is increasingly becoming an important tool for firms managing risk and to seek opportunities. New records for activity on our ATS each month are a clear indicator of the momentum and increasing demand.


At the close of the first five months of the year,  we nearly reached a momentous milestone of one billion shares (960M actual) traded year to date.  We and our customers are extremely pleased with our progress, and we look forward to reporting further notable achievements as the summer unfolds.

    A very proudly publicized achievement for Blue Ocean was the May 10th announcement by Robinhood that they will begin offering 24/5 US equity trading in a phased rollout, all made possibly by the availability of Blue Ocean ATS for the overnight hours.

    In Robinhood's own words: the world never stops, and why should investing be any different? A statement which reflects the Blue Ocean motivation to fill the previously unserved opportunity to close the gap on a 24 hour weekday trading window.
