Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb:
"Tradeweb delivered strong fourth-quarter results, reporting record revenue of $521 million. This performance reflected consistent execution across our global platform and the strength of our diversified business model. We continued to invest in our core markets while shaping the future of institutional market structure and digital finance. Tradeweb completed the first on-chain electronic auction for brokered certificates of deposits, announced a collaboration with Chainlink to publish FTSE U.S. Treasury Benchmark Closing Prices on-chain, and continued to play a central role in evolving the Canton Network. Tradeweb also expanded electronic execution in Europe, with its first invoice spread trade via request-for-market, and continued to expand its emerging markets presence by launching an alternative trading system for sukuk and SAR-denominated debt instruments in Saudi Arabia.
All in, Tradeweb reported its 26th consecutive year of record annual revenue in 2025, underscoring the earnings durability of our multi-asset model spanning multiple client sectors and geographies. That momentum has continued into 2026, with January average daily volume of $3.1 trillion thanks to double-digit YoY ADV growth across rates, credit and money markets. As electronification continues to advance and trading evolves with the rise of tokenization and digital-native asset classes, Tradeweb is well-positioned to build the institutional trading structure of the future - one that's more connected, transparent, and resilient than ever before."
