Blue Ocean Technologies offers transparent, electronic marketplace for trading U.S.-listed securities during non-U.S. trading hours. This electronic marketplace allows firms, traders, and investors to manage risk and take advantage of opportunities created outside of U.S. regular trading hours. Also, foreign investors have after-hours access to the full capabilities of the U.S. capital markets, which make up the second largest class of investments across Asia and Europe (behind country-specific home markets), while allowing for U.S.-based traders to track off-hours market movement and react accordingly. Blue Ocean Technologies was formed in 2017 from the assets of Blue Ocean Financial Technology.
