(Nasdaq: TW), a global leader in electronic trading across asset classes, today reported total trading volume for the month of May 2026 of $62.3 trillion (tn). Average daily volume ("ADV") for the month was $3.0tn, an increase of 18.3 percent (%) year-over-year (YoY). Record Highlights: For Mayof 2026, Tradeweb records included:
Please refer to the report posted to https://www.tradeweb.com/newsroom/monthly-activity-reports/ for complete information and data related to our historical monthly, quarterly and yearly ADV and total trading volume across asset classes.
* ADV in rates futures
* ADV in repurchase agreements
May 2026 Highlights
rates
* U.S. government bond ADV was up 19.8% YoY to $282.7 billion (bn). European government bond ADV was up 26.3% YoY to $64.1bn.
- Strong U.S. government bond ADV was driven by strong institutional and wholesale activity, with institutional volumes reaching their second highest month on record. Similarly, European government bond ADV was driven by strong volumes in our institutional client channel. Strong activity in the U.S. and Europe was supported by an increased number of clients trading across a diverse set of trading protocols.
* Mortgage ADV was up 11.8% YoY to $257.5bn.
- To-Be-Announced ("TBA") activity was primarily driven by increased trading YoY from government sponsored enterprises and originator accounts, alongside higher hedge fund activity. Tradeweb's specified pool platform saw increased volumes YoY, supported by stronger participation from origination and hedge fund clients, continued client adoption, and an expanding dealer roster.
* Swaps/swaptions 1-year ADV was up 23.8% YoY to $609.2bn and total rates derivatives ADV was up 26.6% YoY to $1.1tn.
- Swaps/swaptions 1-year saw stronger risk trading activity YoY driven by continued uncertainty around the global inflation outlook, evolving central bank policy expectations and heightened geopolitical developments impacting global rates due to energy related supply risks. This was supported by a 12% YoY increase in compression activity, which carries a relatively lower fee per million ("FPM"). 2Q26 to-date compression activity as a percentage of swaps/swaptions 1-year is trending higher than 1Q26.
credit
* Fully electronic U.S. credit ADV was up 20.4% YoY to $10.0bn and European credit ADV was up 25.5% YoY to $3.0bn.
- U.S. credit volumes were driven by continued client adoption of trading protocols, most notably in Request-for-Quote ("RFQ"), Portfolio Trading ("PT"), and Tradeweb AllTrade(R). Tradeweb captured 18.9% share of fully electronic U.S. high grade TRACE and 8.2% share of U.S. high yield TRACE, as measured by Tradeweb. We also reported 25.9% total share of U.S. high grade TRACE and 10.8% total share of U.S. high yield TRACE. European credit volumes were driven by continued strong adoption of Automated Intelligent Execution ("AiEX") and PT. Global cash credit PT ADV increased by 41.5% YoY, with non-comp PT[1] ADV up 34.9% YoY. PT carries a relatively lower FPM as compared to the broader cash credit average, with non-comp PT carrying a lower FPM than PT overall.
* Municipal bonds ADV was down 4.3% YoY to $473 million.
* Municipal bonds performed slightly better than the broader market which was down 4.8%[2]
* Credit derivatives ADV was up6% YoY to $19.0bn.
- Increased hedge fund and systematic account activity YoY led to increased swap execution facility ("SEF") and multilateral trading facility ("MTF") credit default swaps activity.
equities
* U.S. ETF ADV was up 23.0% YoY to $10.8bn and International ETF ADV was up 28.8% YoY to $4.3bn.
- Stronger global ETF volumes YoY were driven by robust activity in our institutional and wholesale channels as the client base grew and clients' adoption of our automated trading functionality continued to grow YoY.
money markets
* Repo ADV was up 15.5% YoY to $899.1bn.
- Record global repo ADV was supported by increased client participation across the platform YoY. In the U.S., strong growth was driven by the effects of the Fed's balance sheet unwind. Additionally, balances in the Fed's reverse repo facility ("RRP") remained close to zero for a majority of the month, with small spikes mid-month and at the end of the month. In Europe, strong activity continued to be driven by the impact of geopolitical factors feeding into European Central Bank and Bank of England policy rate changes.
* Other Money Markets ADV was up 0.9% YoY to $272.2bn.
- Other money markets ADV was driven by Tradeweb ICD Portal activity from both existing and new client additions. This was partially offset by less client demand for commercial paper and discount notes YoY.

Basis of Presentation
All reported amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. In determining the reported U.S. dollar amounts for non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, the non-U.S. dollar amount for a particular month is translated into U.S. dollars generally based on the monthly average foreign exchange rate for the prior month. Volumes presented in this release exclude volumes generated by (i) unbilled trial agreements, (ii) products billed on an agreement basis where we do not calculate notional value, and (iii) products that are not rates, credit, equities or money markets products. Please see the footnotes on page 3 of the full report for information regarding how we calculate market share amounts presented in this release.
Amounts for preliminary average variable fees per million dollars of volume traded and preliminary fixed fees for rates, credit, equities and money markets included in this release and in the related report are subject to the completion of management's final review and our other financial closing procedures and therefore are subject to change.
Beginning with the publication of the December 2024 Monthly Activity Report, Tradeweb adjusted its methodology for reflecting acquisitions in its reported average daily volume figures. For average daily volume derived from acquisitions, the denominator is now the number of trading days that have elapsed from the acquisition date to the end date of the reporting period, and not the total number of trading days in the reporting period, which was the previous methodology. Beginning in December 2024, this methodology was applied retroactively to restate the impact of both 2024 acquisitions; the average daily volume attributable to acquisitions occurring prior to 2024 was not restated.
Day counts generally reflect all SIFMA trading days, where applicable. As recommended by SIFMA, Good Friday, April 3, 2026 was an official trading day for U.S. Fixed Income markets. However, due to holiday-abbreviated hours (markets closed at 12:00 PM EDT) and limited trading activity, we have excluded April 3, 2026 as a trading day for all U.S. products. All trading volume from that day is included in April 2026 monthly totals.
Market and Industry Data
This release and the complete report include estimates regarding market and industry data that we prepared based on our management's knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, together with information obtained from various sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, our clients, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. In presenting this information, we have made certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of, and our experience to date in, the markets in which we operate.

Show Full Article HOUSTON, Texas, June 5 -- Axiom Space Inc., a provider of human spaceflight services and developer of human-rated space infrastructure, issued the following news release on June 4, 2026: * * * Axiom Space Closed Oversubscribed Financing at $525M+ Opportunistic Upsize Reflected Continued Investor Demand Following February Capital Raise - Axiom Space, the leader in commercial human space exploration, today announced the final close of its previously reported financing at more than $525 million, oversubscribed amid growing investor demand. The upsize reflected an opportunistic extension drivenby continued institutional and strategic interest in Axiom Space's leadership of the commercial low-Earth orbit transition and the United States' return to the Moon.
The close brought new capital onto Axiom Space's cap table alongside the investors who anchored the round earlier this year. This positions the company to accelerate execution against its core programs: human spaceflight, spacesuits, and Axiom Station - the commercial successor to the International Space Station.
MUFG Bank, Ltd., Japan's largest bank, joined the round as a new investor, alongside continued participation from existing backers.
"Investor interest in this round outpaced what we set out to raise, which speaks to the moment we're in," said Dr. Jonathan Cirtain, CEO and President of Axiom Space. "Our partners see what is possible in low-Earth orbit, and they see who is positioned to lead it."
This close lands at a pivotal time. NASA is finalizing the path to a commercial successor to the International Space Station, the United States is moving toward its return to the Moon, and demand for orbital infrastructure from human spaceflight to microgravity research to orbital compute continues to grow. Axiom Space sits at the center of each of these markets.
"Axiom Space is building the orbital infrastructure that will define the next era of the space economy," said Takumi Hashizume, Managing Director and Head of the Space Innovation Office at MUFG Bank, Ltd. "Through our Space Innovation Office, we are committed to supporting the companies that make commercial human space exploration and the global space economy sustainable for the long term, and we see Axiom Space's leadership as central to that future."
Mr. Gellert Jaszai, Chairman and CEO of the 4iG Group, stated, "Axiom Space is pioneering technologies that are redefining the future of the commercial space economy and shaping the next generation of low-Earth orbit infrastructure. As Axiom Space's largest strategic investor from Europe, we recognized the transformative potential of this partnership and the opportunities it creates for long-term value creation. As an investor and strategic partner, we intend to play an active role in the development of orbital data centers, commercial space stations, human spaceflight capabilities, and advanced industrial and research programs conducted in microgravity. This partnership also creates significant strategic synergies with 4iG Space and Defence Technologies' Hungarian Satellite (HUSAT) program. Beyond its technological significance, this collaboration further strengthens the strategic economic and innovation ties between Hungary and the United States."
This round of investment will support continued development of Axiom Station, production of the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) under the company's NASA spacesuit contract, and the broader space infrastructure and technology advancement roadmap. J.P. Morgan served as placement agent.
* * *
About Axiom Space
Axiom Space is a human space exploration company, building era-defining space infrastructure and delivering technology-driven solutions that will empower civilization to transcend Earth. Beginning with Axiom Station, successor to the International Space Station, the company is pioneering a next-generation orbital settlement that will foster groundbreaking innovation and research in microgravity and drive the global space economy of tomorrow. Today, guided by the vision of leading humanity's expansion off planet, Axiom Space is the principal provider of commercial human spaceflight services and developer of advanced spacesuits for the Moon and beyond.
