Nasdaq membership enables Alpaca to connect directly to the exchange’s order book, offering clients access to a broad range of order types and the full depth of liquidity.
“Our Nasdaq membership demonstrates Alpaca’s maturity and advancement in the financial markets,” said Tony Lee, Global Head of Brokerage.
The milestone follows the company’s recent approvals from the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), as well as existing DTCC clearing status.
Together, these achievements mark Alpaca’s expansion across equities, options, and fixed income markets.
“Becoming a Nasdaq member further strengthens the full-stack foundation we’re building with our in-house technology and brokerage,” said CEO and Co-Founder Yoshi Yokokawa.
The company said the move positions it to scale further as an independent market participant offering direct market access and efficient trade execution.
