VIRTU Financial Inc, a trading firm whose plans to go public were postponed last year amid the furore over high-frequency trading, has filed a new prospectus for an IPO, a US regulatory filing showed.

Virtu Financial said on Friday that it plans to raise US$100 million by listing on Nasdaq, though that figure is an estimate used to calculate the registration fee with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
