OTC Markets Sees Growth in Non-U.S. Listings

Most of the trading volume on OTC Markets Group originated from European cross-traded securities in 2025 and the U.S operator of regulated markets for local and international securities also had “exponential” growth in non-U.S. listings. In a blog post, OTC Markets Group said overall dollar volume grew 44.5% year-on-year in 2025 and cross-traded international securities grew by 46.7% to reach $609bn. “In 2025, 55% of the dollar volume originated from European cross-traded securities, and the average daily notional for European cross-traded securities was $1.2bn in Q4 alone,” added the blog. Jason Paltrowitz, OTC Markets executive vice president of corporate services said that the growth of non-US listings was a highlight during 2025. “Last year saw the explosion of global brands seeing the value of our market and the economic ecosystem and wanting to embrace access to U.S. investors and capital in a more efficient way,” he added. “The growth was exponential.”
