Episode 40: Quick Takes: Could “enshittification” happen in derivatives markets?

In this episode, Chris Barnes references the FT article that introduced us to “enshittification,” which has no doubt made the rounds of trading floors ever since. Chris will also discuss the following points: Is “enshittification” of social media akin to worsening liquidity conditions in financial markets as a result of increased rent-seeking behaviour of centralised platforms? We see ever increasing volumes traded in Rates markets, and yet constant concerns from market participants over liquidity conditions. Post-trade transparency shines a light on market functioning, but does not define liquidity metrics or the cost of liquidity provision. Does this all make Citadel the Taylor Swift of modern markets? #ION #IONMarkets #ClarusFT #FinancialMarkets #Liquidity #Citadel #Trading #MarketEfficiency #Enshittification Amir Khwaja, CEO, Clarus Financial Technology Amir is CEO of Clarus Financial Technology and has more than thirty years' experience in OTC Derivatives and Technology.
