@yenoms Yeah no doubt, nice trade. But why would they raise the price of their investment before IPO? Wouldn’t everyone just redeem and pull the cash out? At least that’s how it works in ETFs

MMs would argue it’s expensive to to cross and sweep on 11 different exchanges. Other way to look at it is if you’re a market maker on lit venues, you can make your best market on primary and back all other BBOs up 1-2c so if a block wants to print higher they must lift you on every exchange
@blondesnmoney@yenoms Right but not just blocks, I think all off market trades can be filled outside nbbo. As long as it complies with the broker’s best execution policy
