DIGITAL BANKING
Wall Street has always been about information. Two centuries ago, traders gathered under a buttonwood tree on lower Manhattan because proximity meant faster access to shipping news and commodity prices. Today, the New York Stock Exchange processes 1.2 trillion incoming order messages on peak trading days, processing more data in a single trading session than the entire internet generated in a day during the early 2000s.
Each of those trillion messages represents someone making a financial decision that ripples through the global economy: pension funds managing retirement savings for millions of teachers and firefighters, sovereign wealth funds deploying national reserves, insurance companies investing policyholder premiums and retail investors using smartphone apps to buy fractional shares of Apple or Tesla.
Lynn Martin, President of NYSE Group, describes this evolution as both an operational challenge and a fundamental shift in how markets function.“ We have two incredibly important jobs: one is around market integrity focused on transparency, and the other is around efficient risk management – so ensuring that those messages get processed incredibly efficiently so that people can manage their portfolios,” Lynn says.
“ We always come back to our principles of market integrity and transparency”
