Electronic liquidity providers are responding to evolving global regulation, mainly the SEC-mandated Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) project in the U.S. and MiFID II regime in Europe. Only seven firms registered as SIs under MiFID I and that number quickly grew to more than 60 ahead of the recent MiFID II deadline. As liquidity providers evolve their services under new regulatory regimes, other market participants benefit from transparent access to direct data feeds from the new Systematic Internaliser and Indications of Interest facilities.
