Will high-frequency trading practices transform the financial markets in the Asia Pacific Region?

High-frequency trading(HFT)practices in the global financial markets involve the use of information and communication technologies(ICT),especially the capabilities of high-speed networks,rapid computation,and algorithmic detection of changing information and prices that create opportunities for computers to effect low-latency trades that can be accomplished in milliseconds.HFT practices exist because a variety of new technologies have made them possible,and because financial market infrastructure capabilities have also been changing so rapidly.The U.S.markets,such as the National Association for Securities Dealers Automated Quote(NASDAQ)market and the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE),have maintained relevance and centrality in financial intermediation in financial markets settings that have changed so much in the past 20 years that they are hardly recognizable.In this article,we explore the technological,institutional and market developments in leading financial markets around the world that have embraced HFT trading.From these examples,we will distill a number of common characteristics that seem to be in operation,and then assess the extent to which HFT practices have begun to be observed in Asian regional financial markets,and what will be their likely impacts.We also discuss a number of theoretical and empirical research directions of interest.

Digital Payment Systems in Urban Media Landscapes:The Evolution and Impact of Apple Pay on Urban Life and Consumer Behavior

This study examines the transformative impact of Apple Pay on urban landscapes and socioeconomic frameworks,with a particular focus on spending patterns and retail dynamics in metropolitan areas.By evaluating the adoption levels,the technological support,and the social impact of Apple Pay,the study shows that the service is both a catalyst for the development of digital payment and a sign of an increasing social gap.Although it has rapidly transformed Retail Enterprises and supported the construction of smart cities,especially in major world cities such as New York,London,and Tokyo,the work has brought out notable digital divides.Although Apple Pay,with more than 75%of iPhone users and 9,000 banks in 60 world areas and regions,has impacts that are not the same across urban populations,the study shows that while large format retailers have effectively adopted Apple Pay for value-added services to consumers and enhanced payment efficiency,small businesses encounter significant barriers in implementation.Additionally,the technology leverages smartphone usage and banking relationships,which does not address considerable urban population demographics and deeper issues of technology exclusion and inequality in the contemporary city.Such results call for attaining a just society’s technological advancement for efficiencies while still catering to all groups of urban dwellers.

Fintech investments in European banks:a hybrid IT2 fuzzy multidimensional decision‑making approach

Financial technology(Fintech)makes a significant contribution to the financial system by reducing costs,providing higher quality services and increasing customer satisfaction.Hence,new studies play an essential role to improve Fintech investments.This study evaluates Fintech-based investments of European banking services with an application of an original methodology that considers interval type-2(IT2)fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory and IT2 fuzzy TOPSIS models.Empirical findings are controlled for consistency by applying the VIKOR method.Moreover,we conduct a sensitivity analysis by considering six distinct cases.This study contributes to the existing literature by identifying the most important Fintech-based investment alternatives to improve the financial performance of European banks.Our empirical findings illustrate that results are coherent,reliable,and identify“competitive advantage”as the most important factor among Fintech-based determinants.Moreover,“payment and money transferring systems”are the most important Fintech-based investment alternatives.It is recommended that,among Fintech-based investments,European banks should mainly focus on payment and money transferring alternatives to attract the attention of customers and satisfy their expectations.This is also believed to have a positive impact on the ease of bank’receivable collection.Another important point is that Fintech-based investments in money transferring systems could help to decrease costs.

Asymmetric interactions among cutting-edge technologies and pioneering conventional and Islamic cryptocurrencies:fresh evidence from intra-day-based good and bad volatilities

This study examines the nexus between the good and bad volatilities of three technological revolutions—financial technology(FinTech),the Internet of Things,and artificial intelligence and technology—as well as the two main conventional and Islamic cryptocurrency platforms,Bitcoin and Stellar,via three approaches:quantile cross-spectral coherence,quantile-VAR connectedness,and quantile-based non-linear causality-in-mean and variance analysis.The results are as follows:(1)under normal market conditions,in long-run horizons there is a significant positive cross-spectral relationship between FinTech's positive volatilities and Stellar’s negative volatilities;(2)Stellar’s negative and positive volatilities exhibit the highest net spillovers at the lower and upper tails,respectively;and(3)the quantile-based causality results indicate that Bitcoin’s good(bad)volatilities can lead to bad(good)volatilities in all three smart technologies operating between normal and bull market conditions.Moreover,the Bitcoin industry’s negative volatilities have a bilateral cause-and-effect relationship with FinTech’s positive volatilities.By analyzing the second moment,we found that Bitcoin's negative volatilities are the only cause variable that generates FinTech's good volatility in a unidirectional manner.As for Stellar,only bad volatilities have the potential to signal good volatilities for cutting-edge technologies in some middle quantiles,whereas good volatilities have no significant effect.Hence,the trade-off between Bitcoin and cutting-edge technologies,especially FinTech-related advancements,appear more broadly and randomly compared with the Stellar-innovative technologies nexus.The findings provide valuable insights for FinTech companies,blockchain developers,crypto-asset regulators,portfolio managers,and high-tech investors.

Rural Revitalization Enabled by Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-Sized Rural Banks and Double Chain Linkage Model Innovation

How small and medium-sized(SMS)rural banks,as the main banks offering rural financial services,serve all-round rural revitalization is a vital realistic and policy issue for the time being.Now,SMS rural banks are confronted with many shortcomings in serving rural revitalization due to dull financial service supply chain circulation and lack of coordination with the rural industry supply chain.The research based on survey data and typical cases shows that the key to solving these problems is to realize a double chain linkage of the financial service supply chain and the rural industry supply chain:The financial service supply chain and the rural industry supply chain should make use of their common infrastructure,share the digital technology capacity and data handling capacity and promote the linkage of customers,channels and scenarios in all links of the two supply chains in a bid to realize mutual promotion and improve the quality and efficiency of the two chains and hence fuel the all-round rural revitalization through industrial revitalization.Double chain linkage can be achieved through five major effective means:in terms of data,collaborating with digital rural governance and strengthening data collection and utilization;in terms of industry,collaborating with core entity enterprises and strengthening the supply chain financial service capacity;in terms of ecology,collaborating with internet technology companies and enhancing ecological,scenario and technological enabling;in terms of channels,collaborating with rural service and focusing on channel linkage,offline network,mobile services and village financial officers,etc.;and in terms of cooperation,constructing the common infrastructure of SMS rural banks and boosting the efficiency of digital enabling innovation.
