About The Midpoint
Market structure news. Free. Always.
The Midpoint is a free news publication for people who work in and around trading: buy-side and sell-side traders, market structure specialists, venues, vendors and regulators.
Free forever
No paywall. No subscription. No registration wall. Every article, every video and every newsletter is free to read. We are funded by clearly labelled advertising and partner content, never by charging readers.
Practitioner-led
The Midpoint is written and edited by market practitioners, not career journalists. Our coverage is written for people who already know what a midpoint peg, an access fee or a tick size is, and who want the facts quickly.
What we cover
- Market structure: venues, routing, trading hours, fees, tick sizes, settlement, clearing, tokenised trading, and trading technology and execution
- Regulation: the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, FCA, ESMA, the EU and enforcement
- Prediction markets: event contracts, platforms, volumes and the legal fights around them
- Video: weekly 60-second roundups for the US and for Europe and the UK, plus prediction market volume tables
- Partner content: sponsored articles, always clearly labelled
Every story is tagged by region (US, Europe, UK, APAC or Global), so you can follow just the markets you trade.
How we work
Every story links to its sources. We separate fact from analysis, label sponsored content clearly and correct mistakes openly. Read our editorial standards.
