VIRT's new notional buyback tool could attract more order flow and drive incremental growth in its Execution Services business.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtu Financial (NYSE: VIRT), a leading provider of global, multi-asset financial services that delivers liquidity and innovative, transparent products across the complete investment cycle to the global markets, recently launched notional order execution capabilities for 10b-18 corporate buyback programs, a specialized offering available from only a small number of financial companies. Virtu's notional order functionality allows sell-side and buy-side clients to instruct execution based on a specified dollar (notional) value rather than a fixed share quantity, giving clients greater precision and control over corporate buyback spend.
