OTC Markets Group operates financial marketplaces in the United States that facilitate the trading of over-the-counter (OTC) securities. Through its electronic quotation and trading platform, the company connects broker-dealers, market makers and investors with issuers of micro-cap, small-cap and international companies. Its tiered market structure—comprising OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink—allows issuers to choose the level of disclosure, regulatory standards and investor visibility that best suit their capital-raising needs.
The firm’s services include real-time quote data, daily price reporting, corporate news distribution and regulatory disclosure management. Market participants can access trading and market data feeds via desktop and application programming interfaces (APIs), while issuers benefit from dedicated support for compliance with U.S. securities laws and global regulatory requirements. OTC Markets Group also offers research tools, educational resources and investor relations services designed to enhance transparency and liquidity for OTC securities.
Founded as an evolution of the historic “Pink Sheets” quotation service, OTC Markets Group rebranded in 2010 to reflect its broadened marketplace offerings. Headquartered in New York City, the company serves broker-dealers and issuers across North America, Europe, Asia and other regions, enabling cross-border capital formation and secondary market trading in both U.S. dollar and foreign-denominated securities.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer R. Cromwell Coulson, OTC Markets Group continues to expand its technology infrastructure and data services. Its governance team includes executives with deep experience in securities regulation, market structure and financial technology, positioning the company at the forefront of OTC market innovation and transparency.
