Abstract

Today’s financial markets are comprised of many coexisting trading venues. Traders often participate in multiple exchanges for the same assets. Fragmentation is a characteristic of virtually any asset class.

This paper develops a framework for decentralized markets with multiple exchanges and flexible trading strategies for any number of strategic agents and assets. The framework enables an explicit treatment of price impact.

We examine three classes of instruments that would be neutral if traders had no price impact or trading were centralized: (1) the creation of new trading venues for existing assets, (2) the introduction of new assets, and (3) innovation in the types of market clearing that decentralized trading enables.
