Nu Holdings Gains 0.20% as Trading Volume Plunges 24% to $720M Ranking 161st in Market Activity

On October 2, 2025, Nu Holdings (NU) closed with a 0.20% gain, while its trading volume fell 24.07% to $720 million, ranking 161st in market activity. The decline in liquidity suggests reduced short-term investor engagement despite the modest price rise.

Recent developments highlight regulatory scrutiny as a key risk factor. A U.S. Senate committee is reportedly reviewing Nu’s compliance with anti-money laundering protocols, with internal documents indicating potential gaps in transaction monitoring systems. Analysts note such investigations often trigger volatility in fintech stocks due to heightened operational risk perceptions.

Strategic partnerships remain a mixed influence. While Nu expanded its digital wallet integration with two regional banks, a delayed API update for cross-border payments has pushed back Q4 revenue targets. Market participants are recalibrating expectations as the company navigates technical implementation challenges.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to nail down a few specifics: 1. Universe • Do you want the entire U.S. listed equity universe, or a specific index subset (e.g., Russell 3000)? 2. Trade timing • We can rank by the previous trading day’s volume and enter positions at today’s open, or rank by today’s intraday volume and enter at the close. • Likewise, should we exit at the same-day close or at the next day’s open/close? 3. Weighting and costs • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted? • Any commission/slippage assumptions? 4. Risk controls • Stop-loss, take-profit, or max holding days beyond the 1-day rule? Once I have those details, I can fetch the data, build the daily portfolio, and run the back-test from Jan-2022 to today.
