ARQ Securities is pleased to announce that it has received its digital ATS (alternative trading system). – ARQ Effects ATS – and launches the platform today, October 29, 2024, on Liquidity.io.
Liquidity.io is an advanced platform designed to revolutionize the trading and settlement of private credit and private equities for accredited and institutional investors.

“The approval of our digital ATS license is a monumental step forward in our mission to transform private markets.
“Liquidity.io will provide institutional and accredited investors with unprecedented access to private assets that are difficult to trade and settle.
“We are going to set a new standard for efficiency and liquidity in credit and private equity.
“We are excited to launch with over a billion dollars in LOIs (letters of intent) from key industry players and look forward to expanding our pipeline of assets through 2025.”
Ram Praturi, vice president of engineering at Liquidity.io, said:

Focus on private credit and private equities
Liquidity.io will initially focus on two major asset classes private credit and private equity providing institutional and accredited investors with a streamlined and transparent way to trade these traditionally illiquid assets.
The private credit market has seen significant growth, driven by investors seeking higher returns and diversification.
However, the lack of standardized processes and limited transparency are ongoing challenges.
Liquidity.io aims to address these issues by leveraging its digital platform to document and automate trading and settlement processes, reducing operational complexity and improving liquidity.
Strategic partnerships and advanced technology
Over the past year, ARQ Securities has forged strategic partnerships with players in the private credit and private equity industries, collecting more than a billion dollars in LOIs to list on the platform, including the following.
- Leading private lenders with significant portfolios, who have committed to listing their assets on Liquidity.io.
- Multiple private companies looking to provide liquidity options for their shareholders through the platform.
- Several banks, broker-dealers, and RIAs (registered investment advisors) are interested in using Liquidity.io to efficiently execute private wealth transactions.
