New York, 20 November 2025: We are delighted to announce that BMLL won ‘Outstanding Market Data Services Provider" at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading New York 2025 awards. This follows BMLL winning The Trade Leaders in Trading Europe awards in London, earlier this month.
Paul Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer of BMLL, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have won ‘Outstanding Market Data Services Provider’ at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading New York awards this week, hot on the heels of winning the same award for Europe only a few weeks ago. Jointly, these awards highlight BMLL’s momentum and the growing demand for our trusted historical data and analytics that support our global customers in understanding shifting market dynamics.
As market structure continues to evolve, more venues come to market and the volume of data constantly rises, the need for easy-to-access, granular order book data will only ever increase. Our focus remains on empowering firms worldwide to make sense of market behaviour and gain a genuine competitive edge through better use of data.
My gratitude goes to our outstanding teams who work tirelessly to meet our clients’ ever-evolving data and analytics needs.”
BMLL won this award following a defining year for the company. BMLL has experienced record growth, doubling its global client base while redefining industry standards for data quality, solidifying its market position as de-facto historical data provider to accelerate research and optimise trading strategies.
Most recently, Nordic Capital acquired BMLL, supporting the company’s next phase of growth and its mission to deliver trusted, high-quality, analytics-ready historical data across major exchange-traded asset classes.
