Good evening,

The story of the year in share markets has no doubt been the rise of retail investors – GameStop’s short squeeze, bitcoin’s renaissance, you name it, they’re there.

And all that extra trading spells more money flowing into the back-end infrastructure supporting it all. Enter the dealmakers.

Tonight, we’re on the trail of two deals in trading infrastructure land. One concerns the future of private equity owned Chi-X Australia – the country’s second largest stock exchange – and the other is about who’s circling on-the-block equities clearing house Pershing Australia.

Meanwhile, we’ve got the scoop on what Andy Gray’s Potentia Capital is up to in the e-commerce space, and Betmakers has welcomed a big-name investor.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
