London, New York, 13 December 2023: BMLL, the leading, independent provider of harmonised, historical Level 3 data and analytics across global equity, ETFs and futures markets, today announced the expansion of their data coverage to include the Canadian market.

They benefit from a global view of market or venue behaviour, based on the most granular data available. In addition, Canadian exchange operators are now able to analyse venue performance and liquidity dynamics and perform venue comparisons against local and global peers.

Paul Humphrey, CEO of BMLL, said: “Since securing our Series B funding just over a year ago, we have worked tirelessly to expand our coverage to include Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Brazil, Tel Aviv, South Africa and now Canada. Canadian exchange operators are now able to analyse venue performance and liquidity dynamics against local and global peers.

Market participants need a full picture of market quality, liquidity and order dynamics to make better informed decisions on the markets they trade and the venues they operate. This means that the demand for high-quality historic market data has grown exponentially as participants need to understand market behaviour across jurisdictions.”

Following the Series B investment from Nasdaq Ventures, FactSet, IQ Capital’s Growth Fund and most recently Snowflake Ventures, BMLL has continued to deliver on its mission to democratise access to Level 3 data and analytics and widen data coverage across global jurisdictions.
