AEGIS Markets, the digital marketplace operated by AEGIS Hedging Solutions, has surpassed two million executed contracts for commodity hedging. This milestone reflects significant industry adoption of modern market infrastructure for managing commodity price risk.

In commodity terms, one contract typically represents 1,000 barrels of crude oil or NGLs, or 10,000 MMBtu of natural gas. Reaching the two-million-contract threshold is equivalent to 2 billion barrels of crude oil hedged through AEGIS Markets. This achievement underscores a shift in commodity hedging, with producers, consumers, and financial institutions increasingly moving from opaque transaction channels to more efficient, transparent, and data-rich digital execution.

Bryan Sansbury, CEO of AEGIS, commented on the rapid embrace of modern market infrastructure, stating that every participant in the hedging markets deserves transparent and efficient execution. He expressed gratitude to the dealers and companies for adopting a marketplace that makes this a reality.

Since its inception, AEGIS Markets has continuously enhanced capabilities to improve price discovery, reduce execution friction, automate back-office processing, and provide analytics. These features aim to enable all market participants to trade with increased confidence. Key highlights include over 2,000,000 total contracts executed, 38 active dealers providing liquidity, and 278 active hedgers executing transactions. The platform has seen a 48% growth in overall trading year-to-date in 2025 and a 175% growth in customer-managed trading year-to-date in 2025. AEGIS Markets has also been recognized as the OTC Trading Platform of the Year for a second consecutive year.

Andrew Furman, President of AEGIS Markets, noted that companies face increasingly volatile markets and require trustworthy technology and market access. He highlighted that AEGIS Markets was designed to improve hedging markets for all participants, observing that it took 26 months to reach one million executed contracts but only 13 months to reach two million, indicating accelerated growth.

Any company managing its commodity price exposures with bilateral swaps is eligible to execute these hedges through AEGIS Markets.
