The Scoop

The cost of market data is an ongoing debate in the traditional finance world, but in crypto, not so much. But during this week's episode of The Scoop, Ronan Ryan, head of IEX, the Investor's Exchange, said that's going to change.
Ryan broke down the market data discussion from both the traditional and crypto viewpoints on this week's episode. He also explored:

What it's like to host a podcast and what value he hopes it adds 

Why crypto exchanges aren't charging for market data...yet

Why traditional finance giants like Fidelity are urging regulators to take a close look at market data fees

How regulators are slowly but surely coming up with parameters for rebates, fees and the selling of market data

How IEX led the way on the implementation of a speed bump, faced pushback from Nasdaq and others only to eventually have their idea go mainstream
