From Bloomberg:
" Chicago-based Archipelago, the third-largest electronic market for U.S. stocks, had a 23.5 percent share of trading in Nasdaq-listed stocks in the first quarter. Instinet, which is scheduled to report first-quarter results on Monday, has had about 25 percent. Both electronic exchanges and electronic trading systems known as ECNs can trade Nasdaq stocks.
``Competition from ECNs and other electronic trading platforms has significantly reduced our market share in executions in Nasdaq-listed securities,'' Nasdaq said in a recent SEC filing. "
