Catching up with Technology - The Impact of Regulatory Changes on ECNs/MTFs and the Trading Venue Landscape in Europe

handle is hein.journals/netwin7 and id is 535 raw text is: CATCHING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY - THE IMPACT OF REGULATORY CHANGES ON ECNs/MTFs AND THE TRADING VENUE LANDSCAPE IN EUROPE PETER GOMBER* and MARKUs GSELL** Abstract With RegNMS in the US and MiFID in the EU, regulators respond to recent years' changes in trading concepts and infrastructures. Both try to catch up with tech- nological advances and intend to create a level playing field between the different types of trading venues and a harmonisation in the order execution process. The paper illustrates and analyses the regulatory environments and the impact of their upcoming changes on ECNs and MTFs with a specific focus on Europe. Scenarios will be developed on how the regulatory overhauls will alter the competitive land- scape between Regulated Markets, ECNs/MTFs and order flow internalising enti- ties. Keywords: regulation, MiFID, RegNMS, ECN, MTF 1. INTRODUCTION Recent technological improvements and competitive market dynamics transformed the landscape of trading venues and led to the establishment of new execution concepts and infrastructures along the securities trading value chain. Competition among exe- cution venues intensified as more and more exchanges changed their organisational structure in recent years. They became listed companies, easing mergers and acquisi- tions among themselves and other players in the value chain.
