WOLF(@WOLF_Financial):SELF-DIRECTED TRADERS NOW DRIVE ABOUT 25% OF STOCK MARKET TRADING VOLUME, UP FROM ROUGHLY 10% FIVE YEARS AGO On volatile days, Nasdaq's Kristian D'Agostino says that share can reach 40%-50%. He called the self-directed trader "a primary source of trading in the market," and Nasdaq's ETF Solutions division is now building around it. ETF issuers can track institutional and advisor demand through data packs and 13F filings. They can't easily see who is buying their fund on a brokerage app, or why. Nasdaq is working on a way to identify those buyers, the audiences they come from, and what drives the purchase. ETF Solutions launched about a year ago so Nasdaq could work with any issuer, including ones that don't list on Nasdaq or license a Nasdaq index.
