Tradeweb began in 1996, when Lee Olesky and Jim Toffey planned online bond trading at Credit Suisse First Boston. It launched in 1998 as the first multi dealer venue for US Treasuries. Thomson bought the firm in 2004. Tradeweb Markets Inc. listed on Nasdaq in 2019, and London Stock Exchange Group now holds a large stake through Refinitiv.
Today Tradeweb runs electronic markets for rates, credit, equities, and money markets, with over 2 trillion dollars in daily notional volume. It connects banks, asset managers, and hedge funds in over 70 countries. This is not a platform for retail traders. There is no personal account or beginner app, since Tradeweb only serves institutions.
Tradeweb Markets Inc. trades publicly on Nasdaq under ticker TW. Its US arm, Tradeweb LLC, is a broker dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA. Tradeweb Europe Limited holds FCA authorisation in the UK. Singapore's MAS licenses Tradeweb Asia too. If you want a personal trading account, Tradeweb is not for you.
