“Among independent exchanges, the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) has the narrowest volume-weighted-average (VWA) spread in 2025.”

Jackson Gutenplan, Deniz Besiroglu

What are Tight Spreads and Why Do They Matter?

One compelling reason to consider dual listing on the Long-Term Stock Exchange is the potential to attract more investors and improve your stock's liquidity due to our tighter spreads.

Tight spreads mean lower costs for investors. All U.S. exchanges publish bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices for stocks. The difference—the spread—is what investors pay to trade. Narrower spreads create more efficient markets and happier investors, as they can trade with less price friction.

Bloomberg reports that bid-ask spreads have been widening broadly across the market over the past year. However, the Long-Term Stock Exchange is bucking this trend, demonstrating our strong market quality. This is particularly important to institutional investors and highlights the benefits of listing with us.
