Equity Market Innovation Leads to Venue Proliferation
Several startups are planning to launch either new venues or order types, and even listing standards, to solve problems in US equity trading.
At last month’s SIFMA Equity Market Structure conference, executives with the following three startups and one established exchange discussed their particular market innovations and how each one fits into the existing equity market structure.
- Imperative Execution is on the brink of launching a dark pool to actively solve the problem of minimizing market impact.
- Nasdaq Stock Market introduced a new order type to help institutions gather more liquidity.
- Luminex Trading & Analytics is running a buy-side only block execution facility, which has gained traction over the past three years.
- Long Term Stock Exchange is in registration to become a stock exchange to help companies access the public markets and discourage short-term trading.
