Strategic Reading

Japannext matters because it tests whether Japanese equity execution is a single-exchange world or a routed market. Watch:

  • retail broker SOR adoption (e.g. routing into Rakuten Securities / SBI Securities);
  • best-execution policy revisions (FIBO index tracks the registered operators);
  • spread / tick-size differences;
  • nighttime liquidity;
  • ownership and strategic alignment with SBI HD / Cboe-related market structure (peer venues are ODX and the parent TSE).
