Abstract: This disclosure provides a unique process for firms wishing to cross bonds internally, from one customer account to another. This process allows the selling firm to list the bonds for sale on the bond auction platform and simultaneously to bid on the listed bonds. In doing so, the seller must also have a willingness to sell the bonds away to any firm that outbids the crossing price. By bidding on the seller's own bonds, and then exposing that bid on the platform, the selling firm is able to expose the bid (the cross price) to the market and thereby receive market validation of the price. If another firm chooses to out-bid the seller's bid, the bonds will trade away to the other firm.
