Adriano Pace, head of equities (Europe) at Tradeweb, said: “Adoption of our rules-based AiEX solution continues to grow among customers trading European ETFs. This is evidenced not just by the number of tickets processed this way, but also by the consistently higher notional volume attributed to AiEX, which in August was a record 17.5% of the overall platform flow.”
