Blue Ocean Mission
Opening U.S. markets to the world when others are closed.
Our mission is to expand market access, transparency, and efficiency for global investors. Since 2016, we have evolved market structure to give investors access to U.S. trading beyond traditional Eastern Time hours.
Through Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS), we operate an alternative trading system that matches buy and sell orders in U.S. National Market System (NMS) stocks.
The session runs overnight from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ET, Sunday through Thursday.
