BIDS Trading L.P. operates the BIDS Alternative Trading System (ATS) within the financial services industry, designed to anonymously match counterparties for large-block trades and registered as a broker-dealer. The system was developed by a consortium of leading financial services firms and uses a sponsorship model that provides a low-cost mechanism for buy-side firms to access liquidity while compensating sponsoring brokers for research and other services. The firm has grown to a dominant player in U.S. block trading, and in 2016 partnered with Cboe Europe to bring its trading model to European markets via Cboe LIS under the Bats Europe RIE umbrella. In 2021, CBOE Holdings acquired Bidstrading, integrating it into its corporate structure. The company is headquartered in New York, New York 10006, United States, employs 51-200 people, and maintains a website at bidstrading.com.
