Wematch.live鈥檚 ongoing notional reached a record US$1.72 trillion as of May 2026, marking another milestone in the platform鈥檚 continued expansion across global financing markets.
The growth reflects sustained momentum in multilateral trading activity across total return swaps, securities lending, and upgrades/downgrades (FRM).
According to Wematch.live, this highlights the increasing market shift towards more connected, transparent, and scalable trading and post-trade workflows.
The platform continues to see strong engagement from both existing and new participants, with growth being driven by a combination of increased buy side participation, broader inventory accessibility, and continued adoption of platform-based price discovery and lifecycle management capabilities.
Increasingly, firms are seeking infrastructure that allows them to centralise workflows, improve operational resilience, and access liquidity more efficiently across products and counterparties, the firm adds.
Wematch.live is also continuing to see strong momentum across APAC markets, where demand for more interoperable and globally connected financing workflows continues to increase.
Regional participants are increasingly leveraging the platform to access broader pools of liquidity, improve operational standardisation, and support cross-border trading activity within a regulated framework.
In North America, the platform has continued to see accelerating growth across securities lending activity, supported by increasing client adoption, broader inventory participation, and growing demand for scalable post-trade and lifecycle management infrastructure.
Continued market focus on operational efficiency, balance sheet optimisation, and workflow automation is further reinforcing adoption of platform-based models across the region.
This momentum also reflects wider structural trends across securities finance markets, the firm adds, including growing demand for automation, greater transparency around pricing and inventory, and the need for more scalable operational models as trading volumes and balance sheet pressures continue to increase.
Market participants are placing greater emphasis on infrastructure capable of supporting both execution and ongoing lifecycle management within a controlled and regulated environment.
