Pink OTC Markets Announces 2009 Trading Statistics

 

New York, NY – February 5, 2010 – Pink OTC Markets Inc. (Pink Sheets: PINK), which operates the leading inter-dealer quotation system in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market, today announced 2009 trading results and marketplace trends. Pink OTC Markets upgraded its trading and quotation systems in 2009 to accommodate the growth in OTC trading activity and to continue to provide its broker-dealer customers the best platform for trading OTC stocks.  Quotations on Pink OTC Markets’ system grew by 15% in 2009, attributable to both an overall increase in foreign stocks traded in the U.S. and to broker-dealers choosing to publish more priced quotations in Pink QuoteTM to take advantage of the only market-wide quotation and trading platform for OTC securities. 

 

Pink OTC Markets continues to see strong growth in its OTCQX® Marketplace and industry adoption of the Pink Sheets® disclosure tiers. The OTCQX tier reached $550 billion in market capitalization in 2009.  It grew by 63% as 30 new companies, including global leaders such as Allianz SE, Gazprom Neft, JBS S.A., Craftmade International Inc., Sangold Corp, and Peugeot S.A., began trading on this premier tier of the U.S. OTC marketplace. 

 

The global growth and trading performance of the OTCQX tier, the industry acceptance of Pink Sheets’ disclosure categories, and the increasing number of broker-dealers choosing the Pink Quote platform as their inter-dealer quotation system of choice for all their OTC quotation activity, are the result of Pink OTC Markets’ continued investment in its technology platform and leadership as the financial information provider for the OTC market. 

                                                                                                                                   

Liquidity follows transparency.  Over 92% of all dollar volume traded in OTCQX, OTCBB, and Pink Sheets securities in 2009 was in companies that provided current disclosure to the public markets, either through a regulator or directly to Pink OTC Markets.
