CHICAGO, November 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

The North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) - the first and only retail-focused regulated futures exchange in the United States - today announced a major milestone as it continues to achieve record volumes. Total traded volume for 2011 has surpassed 800,000 lots, over 4 times greater than the total traded in 2010, with almost two months still remaining in the year.

Nadex has grown significantly every year since being acquired in 2008 by IG Group plc, a world-leading specialist in financial derivatives headquartered in London.

Yossi Beinart, Nadex's CEO and President, said"We are truly excited about the expansion of our business over the past year. This incredible rate of growth would not have been possible without the hard work, dedication and diligence of the whole Nadex team."
