Summary

Congress is currently considering regulatory reforms to facilitate the creation of venture exchanges – securities markets specifically designed for trading smaller and younger firms.1 These exchanges are seen as a way to provide liquidity to such firms and rejuvenate flagging US public markets. While the concept is relatively straightforward, designing the regulatory framework to support venture exchanges implicates difficult questions about listing standards, market microstructure, and investor protection.
