Europe currently lacks a single, unified view of equity trading. A proposed European consolidated tape could change that, providing a reliable source of trades and prices, lowering complexity, and giving firms the tools to innovate, develop new products, and strengthen market infrastructure. Drawing on lessons from the U.S. and Canada, the tape could be designed from the start to be resilient, scalable, and capable of supporting a broad range of market participants.
