Execution Speed Disparity
Execution speed disparity describes the uneven capability of market participants to send and process orders. In the context of derivatives and crypto, this gap is driven by access to high-performance computing, co-location services, and proximity to exchange servers.
Participants with faster execution can capture fleeting opportunities that are unavailable to the average retail trader, creating a structural barrier to entry. This disparity is a central point in the market fairness debate, as it suggests that the market is not a neutral venue but one that rewards those who invest in infrastructure.
It leads to a market environment where success is often determined by technological edge rather than investment thesis.
