9:25 AM Panel: MIFID Meets Manhattan – Fast-Tracking Buy-Side Wins Through Cross-Atlantic Market Structure (US & EU)

As the US and European trading landscapes continue to evolve, it’s vital to understand the contrasts in market structure. This session explores what US traders can learn from European developments such as MIFID, DORA, and emerging regulatory frameworks—alongside innovations in fragmentation, dark pool design, and exchange models. Our speakers will examine and identify: 

  • Competitive dynamics and transparency standards shaping both regions
  • What structural elements could or should cross the Atlantic; and
  • The biggest opportunities—and challenges—from regulatory harmonization to tech-driven liquidity solutions
