For comparison, a similar electronic service, the Consolidated Tape System, has been in place in the United States since 1976. Following Brexit, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has tabled a CT reform similar to the EU's.[8]
History
editBackground
editIn the EU, financial markets are highly fragmented, with trading occurring across multiple exchanges and alternative trading venues. This makes it difficult for investors to get a clear picture of market activity, particularly in real-time. The EU has been lagging behind the U.S. in this regard, where consolidated tapes have been available for equities since the 1970s.
Bourses had initially signaled reluctance towards the Commission's CT plans.[9]
