Bringing him on-board reflects our commitment to investing in top talent and extending our capabilities in the region, which will be instrumental in driving our strategic goals forward.”
Tradeweb has built a strong presence in Asia Pacific with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. The firm was the first to pioneer electronic access to China’s bond market with the launch of Northbound Bond Connect in 2017, followed by Tradeweb CIBM Direct Link in 2020, Southbound Bond Connect in 2021, and Swap Connect in 2023. In 2008, Tradeweb introduced Yen interest rate swaps (IRS) and Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) to its platform, helping to drive the electronification of both markets. In the first three quarters of 2025, total traded volume in Yen IRS and JGBs rose by 67.3% and 24.6% year-over-year, respectively. In 2024, Tradeweb collaborated with the Tokyo Stock Exchange to expand liquidity access for Japan-listed ETFs.
