== ETFELA ==
ETFELA is an acronym that stands for "Exchange-Traded Fund Electronic Liquidity Aggregator." It is a financial technology platform designed to enhance the liquidity and trading efficiency of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFELA aggregates liquidity from multiple sources, providing traders and investors with a more seamless and efficient trading experience.
Overview[edit | edit source]
ETFELA operates by consolidating liquidity from various market makers, liquidity providers, and trading venues. This aggregation allows for better price discovery and tighter bid-ask spreads, which can lead to cost savings for investors. The platform is particularly beneficial for trading less liquid ETFs, where liquidity can be fragmented across different markets.
