It gets proposed fairly often. The tricky part is detecting enough neutrinos in a coincidence window to make a meaningful trading signal.
Such an experiment is also very expensive.

- jessriedel 10y agoNeutrino experiments cost of order a billion dollars. The event rate for anthropogenic neutrinos sources at the MINOS detector (from the article) is a few hundred events over 1 year. https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ex/0607088v2.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ex/0607088v2.pdf So the bandwidth for this state-of-the-art billionish-dollar detector is measured in μbps :)
