CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE REPORTS MARCH 2025 PERFORMANCE FIGURES

The Canadian Securities Exchange today released market statistics for March, 2025.

March, 2025, operating statistics

• Trading volume of CSE listed securities totalled 1.1 billion shares;
• Trading value of CSE listed securities was $296-million;
• CSE issuers completed 85 financings that raised an aggregate $102-million;
• The CSE welcomed listings from two new companies, bringing total listed securities to 764 as at March 31, 2025.

"While trade tariffs and recession fears dominate global headlines, CSE issuers continue to realize the benefits of their public listings," said Richard Carleton, chief executive officer of the CSE. "Trading liquidity and financing activity in the first quarter of 2025 were both significantly higher than the same period last year. And with our listed securities recently becoming eligible for trading on the Interactive Brokers platform, they are now more widely available to a global investor base with a demonstrated interest in the Canadian markets."

Trading on Interactive Brokers platform

The CSE announced on April 8 that all of its securities are now eligible for trading on the Interactive Brokers global platform. Interactive Brokers is a low-cost, automated electronic broker with nearly 3.6 million client accounts and access to more than 160 markets worldwide. Access to this platform is expected to increase liquidity, enhance price discovery and support capital formation activities by CSE issuer companies.

What is on at the CSE

The CSE is pleased to be participating in the 10th annual Current Trends in Mining Finance conference, taking place in New York on May 19 to May 21. The central theme of this year's show is Navigating Risks of an Uncertain and New Reality. Mr. Carleton will be speaking on a roundtable on May 20 titled "How Do Small Mining and Exploration Companies Attract Institutional and Retail Investors?"
