Introducing PureStream: Nasdaq’s Innovative Trading Solution
Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ) is excited to announce the upcoming launch of PureStream, a groundbreaking volume-based trajectory trading solution aimed at enhancing the trading experience for clients. This innovative technology will soon provide access to EU shares through Nasdaq Europe, introducing exciting opportunities for investors in the region.
Expansion into the European Market
Currently available in the United States and Canada, PureStream is set to debut on Nasdaq Europe, pending regulatory approval, in just a few months. This expansion signals Nasdaq's commitment to providing advanced trading solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the global financial markets.
Enhancing Collaboration Among Investors
PureStream on Nasdaq Europe is designed to facilitate collaboration among institutional investors. The platform operates through a venue-operated trajectory trading service that includes conditional indications of interest. This functionality is anticipated to enhance execution goals among investors, allowing for a more aligned and efficient trading environment.
Improving Price and Liquidity Discovery
One of the remarkable features of PureStream is its ability to improve the pricing and liquidity discovery process. By implementing open-ended liquidity transfer rates, institutional investors can manage market impact more effectively. This feature not only aids in execution but also contributes to a more transparent market ecosystem.
Automated Trade Execution for Greater Efficiency
PureStream automates parent order execution by allowing trades to occur at a specific percentage of the market’s future volume, based on the volume-weighted average price (VWAP). This automation streamlines the trading process, making it more efficient and responsive to market changes. Investors can expect a considerable reduction in market exposure while executing trades.
