NASDAQ's Tech Provision for Virtual Currency Exchanges Expands
The stock market NASDAQ has revealed that it provides its own market surveillance technology to seven virtual currency exchanges.
It has also disclosed details of the screening process used to assess the exchanges’ reliability and trustworthiness, drawing attention to the criteria used.
NASDAQ's Technology Provision Judgment Criteria
Regarding the newly announced criteria for providing technology, Tony Sio, Director of NASDAQ's Trading and Audit division, described them as the criteria to use when offering market surveillance technology, and said the following.
Historically, our clients were mostly well-known companies, so extensive screening processes weren't necessary.
However, as we have partnered with startups, the need for established verification processes became clear.
We see cryptocurrencies as a growing asset class, which is why we are now involved in areas such as providing technology to cryptocurrencies.
So that our clients (crypto exchanges) can grow the market through matching and surveillance, we are providing our SMARTS technology.
