  • "As far as the foreign-exchange market goes, we're concerned about any market that loses liquidity"
  • "It gets to the central question: Where is it? Is it there? Is it pretend liquidity, is it ghost liquidity?"
  • "We are for safer markets, but we're also for markets that function efficiently"
  • "We worry about the fragmentation, the different pricing that will occur, the different pockets of liquidity that people have to access."

Noobs, eh?
