Market structure, trading, and financial regulation by Larry Tabb
Larry Tabb is Head of Market Structure Research at Bloomberg Intelligence, covering trading infrastructure, regulatory design, and digital asset policy. In August 2025, Tabb dissected the SEC’s Project Crypto during a Bloomberg Votes & Verdicts roundtable, providing insight into custody frameworks, trade reporting obligations, and stablecoin reserve requirements. Tabb outlined implications of the proposed CLARITY Act and its role in defining “broker” status for DeFi protocol frontends and liquidity pools. His team publishes quarterly updates on centralized exchange order routing and settlement trends.
Over the past year, Tabb participated in 11 congressional briefings and contributed to three white papers for digital markets oversight. As a 30-year veteran of equity and bond market research, Tabb’s pivot to crypto policy has positioned him as a key interpreter of how traditional regulatory frameworks adapt to decentralized systems. In 2024, his reports were cited in SEC rulemaking footnotes and IMF research on global crypto governance.
