Advanced Technology Use Gives Market Data a Boost
For this global market data study, Coalition Greenwich, in collaboration with SIX, interviewed 67 global buy-side and sell-side firms to discover and analyze the drivers of market data consumption and distribution and emerging technology adoption.
This research focuses on the types and frequency of data being consumed, including real-time and historical tick data. Further emphasis lies on the role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), including generative AI and large language models (LLMs). In addition, this paper explores the use of application programming interfaces (APIs) and the role of cloud for the delivery of market data.
