More exciting news for NYSE Arca: At the 8th Annual Global ETF Awards held in New York, voters from ETF entities around the world awarded NYSE Arca the title of “Most Proactive ETF Exchange.” NYSE Arca also won for "Largest Exchange" in the categories of Volume, Dollar Turnover, and Listed Products. The NYSE Arca listed 297 new products in 2011, as well as led all US exchanges with approximately 23.1% of total ETP volume and 22.1% of the dollar turnover.
