Upstream, the revolutionary retail trading app for stocks and NFTs powered by Horizon Fintex and MERJ Exchange Limited, published a blog on Medium that talks about benefits issuers could experience when listing on markets that prohibit short selling. The blog, titled “Capitalizing Stability: Dual Listing in Markets with No Short Selling — A Winning Strategy for Issuers,” notes that short selling, a speculative investment strategy, revolves around capitalizing on a stock or security’s price decline. Recently the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recently implemented new rules for increased transparency in short selling. The blog noted several benefits of a market without short selling, including stability in stock prices, enhanced investor confidence, mitigation of manipulative practices, improved capital planning and risk management, and long-term value creation.
“We believe [the SEC rules] is a positive step toward a more transparent market, but our team sees this as a stepping stone towards markets that remove the opportunity for market manipulations to occur, like Upstream’s global retail investing app,” the blog stated. “Upstream, a regulated MERJ Exchange market powered by blockchain technology, spearheads a novel trading approach that inherently disallows short selling. Upstream features public orderbooks that transparently display all best bids and offers for everyone to see. Trades execute peer-to-peer in real-time, settle instantly, and predatory market manipulations are prevented with smart-contract technology. The aim is to cultivate an equitable and steady trading atmosphere that benefits both issuers and investors.”
