Known as the Consolidated Audit Trail, the trade-reporting system was proposed after the Flash Crash in 2010, when stocks plunged 9% in minutes.
A system built by stock market regulators to track every trade has turned out to be a bigger undertaking than anticipated when the Securities and Exchange Commission signed off on the plan in 2016. Wednesday, the commission approved a new way for Wall Street to fund the reporting system, whose cost has already exceeded $500 million.
“When the Flash Crash occurred, it was a challenge for this commission and its hardworking staff to know what had happened,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler at the Wednesday morning meeting. It took months to finish a forensic reconstruction of those few minutes of trading, he recalled. Gensler said the SEC has already used the CAT system in insider-trading cases and the agency’s report on the GameStop trading frenzy of January 2021.
