OTC Markets Group operates a network of electronic trading platforms that provide real-time quotes, trading, and market data for over-the-counter (OTC) securities. Through its tiered marketplaces—OTCQX for established companies, OTCQB for early-stage and developing firms, and OTC Pink for less transparent issuers—the company connects broker-dealers, institutional investors, and retail participants. Its platforms facilitate price discovery and liquidity for a wide range of securities, including foreign issuers, micro-caps, and funds.
The company’s product suite extends beyond trading venues to encompass market data services, corporate disclosure tools, and compliance solutions. Subscribers gain access to live quote data feeds, historical transaction records, and issuer disclosure reports designed to meet regulatory and investor-relations requirements. OTC Markets Group also offers educational resources and technology APIs to support transparent information flow between issuers and market participants.
Tracing its origins to the Pink Sheets quotation service, OTC Markets Group rebranded in 2010 to reflect its broader electronic trading focus and expanded market tiers. Headquartered in New York City, the company completed its own listing on the OTCQX Best Market in 2015. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer R. Cromwell Coulson, OTC Markets Group has emphasized market transparency, regulatory compliance, and technology enhancements aimed at improving OTC market integrity.
Serving issuers and investors around the world, OTC Markets Group supports companies from North America, Europe, and Asia seeking access to U.S. capital markets without the expense of a national exchange listing. Its global reach and diversified service offerings make it a central hub for OTC trading, data dissemination, and corporate communications in the micro-cap and small-cap segments.
