Top-traded corporate bonds in August 2025 (by volume)

ICE Data Services sources publicly available data sets from trade repositories and procures information from non-public sources of market colour and transactional data across global markets. Additionally, market colour, bid lists, dealer runs, and other transactional data is received from their global network of clients on the buyside and sell-side.

While the rankings are based on traded volumes, the right-hand column (of below tables) indicates the relative volume of each bond expressed as a percentage of the most actively traded bond’s volume (100%).
