[US SEC Official: 24/7 Trading on the Rise, Retail Investors and Passive Investment Firms Gain Influence] BlockBeats reported on November 13th that Jamie Selway, Director of the Trading and Markets Division at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that financial market trading is moving towards 24/7 operation, with new instruments such as tokenized securities and perpetual futures entering the market. Meanwhile, the US Treasury market is about to implement central clearing, and some reform proposals for the US national market system are still under review. Selway pointed out that compared to the past, retail investors and passive asset management firms are playing a greater role in the market. As data volume increases, the challenge of market research is shifting from acquiring unique data to processing massive amounts of data, and researchers are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence tools. He also clarified that the above statements do not necessarily represent the views of the SEC, commissioners, or other colleagues in the Trading and Markets Division. [Original Link]
