Octaura Sees Record Trading Volumes Amid Market Volatility
Octaura's electronic syndicated loan trading platform has surged past its 2024 full-year volume in just the first half of 2025, processing nearly $19 billion in trades. The platform's liquidity advantages became apparent during April's tariff-induced volatility, when $200-$500 million auctions settled within hours rather than days.
CEO Brian Bejile describes a market 'aha moment' as institutional participants increasingly adopted the platform for crisis liquidity. Weekly volumes now average $1 billion, capturing 4.6% of the secondary loan market according to LSTA data. The $46.5 million funding round underscores growing institutional confidence in electronic loan trading solutions.
