The latest report reveals that for the first time ever, the majority of stock trading in the world’s largest and most-liquid public equity market is now being conducted out of the public eye. This shift marks a significant change in market behavior.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The transition to more private trading channels raises significant concerns about market transparency and fair play. It highlights a growing trend where technological advancements are being leveraged to create exclusive trading environments. This may benefit institutional players but could be detrimental to retail investors who rely on transparent market data to make informed decisions. The continued evolution of trading platforms towards these hidden exchanges calls for a re-evaluation of regulations to ensure a level playing field for all market participants.
