Semi Strong Form Efficiency
Semi strong form efficiency suggests that asset prices reflect not only all past trading data but also all publicly available information. This includes company earnings reports, protocol upgrades, regulatory announcements, and macroeconomic news.
If a market is semi-strong efficient, fundamental analysis cannot be used to beat the market because news is priced in immediately upon release. In the digital asset space, this would imply that a trader cannot profit by trading on public news regarding a new token listing or a protocol hack, as the price adjusts instantly.
It requires that markets be highly transparent and that information dissemination be near-instantaneous, which is a hallmark of blockchain technology.
