OTC Markets Group Partners with CITIC Securities (HK) to Deliver U.S. OTC Equity Data to Hong Kong Investors

NEW YORK and HONG KONG, Sept. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM), operator of regulated markets for trading 12,000 U.S. and international securities, has entered into a market data licensing agreement with CITIC Securities Brokerage (HK) Limited, a subsidiary of CITIC Securities International, the global arm of China’s leading investment bank.

The partnership enables CITIC Securities Brokerage (HK) to distribute real-time and delayed pricing data from OTC Markets to its clients across Hong Kong via its browser-based trading platform and mobile application.

As part of the agreement, delayed Level 1 quotes from OTC Link ATS — OTC Markets’ primary venue for U.S. OTC equity securities — will be offered as a standard service to CITIC’s broader client base, updated every 15 minutes during market hours between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For premium subscribers, real-time Level 1 data will provide live visibility into U.S. quote and trade activity.

The integration connects Hong Kong investors with comprehensive market information on over 12,000 securities listed across OTC Markets’ OTCQX®, OTCQB®, OTCID, and Pink Limited markets, including international firms cross-traded from exchanges such as Euronext, the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

“Growing interest among Hong Kong-based investors in tracking their U.S.-listed assets underscores the value of accessible, high-quality market data,” said Matt Fuchs, Executive Vice President and Head of Market Data at OTC Markets Group. “Through this collaboration, clients of CITIC Securities Brokerage (HK) gain actionable insights into more than 12,000 global equities traded in U.S. dollars.”

Alan Fan, Chief Operating Officer of CITIC Securities Brokerage (HK) Limited, emphasized the strategic importance of enhanced data offerings. “Reliable access to U.S. financial markets supports our commitment to serving clients engaged in diversified, cross-border investing. This agreement reinforces our ability to deliver integrated platform solutions tailored to evolving investor demands.”

The initiative aligns with rising regional demand for OTC market intelligence in the Asia-Pacific. Earlier this year, OTC Markets appointed JP Chan as Senior Vice President and Regional Head for Asia-Pacific to guide expansion efforts based out of Hong Kong.

With international companies accounting for over 90% of dollar volume transacted on OTC Markets, providing localized access to North American over-the-counter liquidity remains a key driver of global growth for the firm.
