US startup OneChronos plans to bring its $8bn-a-day dark-trading platform to European stocks over the coming months in a bet that institutional investors will move more deals off exchanges.

OneChronos co-founder and former Goldman Sachs partner Richard Suth told Financial News that he hopes to launch multilateral trading facilities in the UK and Netherlands later this year, or in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
