Let me share with you some thoughts from the newest research on equity trading technologies that I have just reviewed: 🔄 Convergence of High-touch & Low-touch Trading: Financial institutions are striking a balance between cost-efficiency and effectiveness, resulting in a hybrid trading environment. 📈 Dominance of Electronic Trading: Electronic trading now accounts for 85% of the global equity market volume, with algorithmic trading representing about 65% of this flow. High-touch trading still plays a crucial role in sectors like OTC derivatives and broker-dealer services. 🛠️ Shift to Vendor Solutions: High costs and the need for advanced capabilities are driving a shift from in-house systems to third-party vendor solutions. ⚖️ Regulatory Changes: Post-2008 financial crisis regulations like MiFID in Europe and RegNMS in the US have fragmented liquidity and pushed market participants towards electronic trading. 🔍 Challenges & Opportunities for Vendors: While vendors face market saturation in low-touch trading, there are opportunities in hybrid systems, modular platforms, and emerging markets. 🤝 Hybrid Trading Approach: Combining high-touch and low-touch modules can optimize trading workflows and enhance client service. 💡 Digitization & Automation: The focus is shifting from automating low-touch tasks to digitizing the entire trade lifecycle, including decision-making processes. 🔧 Modular Buy & Build Approach: Treating trading technology as platforms with interchangeable components allows for customization and optimization, providing a flexible and efficient trading system. These insights underscore the dynamic nature of trading technology and the importance of adapting to new trends and innovations. 🌐🔍 #TradingTechnology #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #FinTech #HybridTrading

I have the great honor, to be a core participant in an expert workshop on secondary markets in tokenised assets organized by the European Commission next week. #DigitalFinanceEU #digitalsecurities #sto Questions being addressed: What are the essential preconditions for organising secondary markets in tokenised financial instruments? #secondarymarkets #assetera How does atomic settlement affect secondary market structure and the role of intermediaries, in particular when it comes to secondary markets on trading venues? What are the markets and financial products that are most likely candidates for secondary market tokenisation, and why? #rwa #tokenization Do you see the need for regulatory or non- regulatory policy initiatives, beyond the current DLT Pilot, to support the development of tokenised secondary markets, and what would those be?

Real-World Asset Tokenisation: A Game Changer for Global Trade, a new paper published by Standard Chartered and Synpulse, predicts that demand for overall tokenised assets could reach US$30.1tn by 2034, and that trade finance assets could become one of the top three tokenised assets globally, at 16 per cent of the total. #tokenisation #tradefinance #globaltrade #trfnews
