Main Day 1 | 22nd April

9:25 Liquidity Access & Transparency Panel Debate: Navigating fragmented market structure - How is European equity trading evolving, and can new liquidity models support transparency, access, and execution?

As bilateral trading volumes grow and new venue models emerge, the structure of European equity markets is being reshaped. Can the shift to new liquidity models improve execution without eroding transparency and price formation?

This debate will explore whether bilateral and alternative liquidity models can meet the long-term needs of the buy side – or whether public markets must preserve lit price formation as a foundation. With more flow executed via direct streams, speakers will examine the future role of algos and whether equities could move towards an FX-style request-for-stream model. Panellists will weigh the implications for execution quality, access, and the sustainability of market integrity as more trading shifts off-exchange.
