2025 was also the first year that the majority of stocks were traded off-market (i.e. hedgie darkpools, no public price discovery).

- throw-qqqqq 8mo agoIt sounds quite plausible. Almost all equity ETFs do their balancing against dark pools or directly with market makers to avoid arbitrage and to ensure enough liquidity. Since index ETFs have more AUM than the underlying instruments (the “ETF tail wagging the dog”), this sounds like a natural evolution. There is nothing nefarious about this, it’s just how the markets work.

- maxbond 8mo agoTrades in dark pools still get published to the consolidated tape; they're still part of price discovery. What's "dark" about them is that you don't see the order book, but people break up large orders into smaller orders to disguise their order size in lit markets too.
