Gamestop: lessons for financial markets

In January 2021, a videogames company few people had ever heard of made history for one of the largest share price increases in stock market history. Apart from making headlines around the world, the GameStop story - and how it played out - has thrown up some key questions about the future of financial markets infrastructure. How did it happen and why?

Episode 2, brought to you by The Realization Group, examines the Gamestop phenomenon in depth. Host Jannah Patchay interviews financial services and technology lawyer, Lee Schneider, to ask him what this situation means for the future of financial markets regulation and whether it really constitutes market manipulation.
