BATS Trading Officially Takes Flight
ECN TECHNOLOGIES
NEW YORK—A new ECN broke into the equities-trading marketplace last week as BATS Trading formally launched its own electronic service.
The Kansas City, Mo.-based company announced plans for the ECN in August 2005. Since then, BATS "developed its matching engine while … also working through regulatory approvals," says David Cummings, CEO of BATS. "Overall, we felt like seven months from incorporation to ECN launch was very aggressive."
