Borsa İstanbul's Domestic Processing Surge: 1,000+ Firms Approved in June

Borsa İstanbul saw a record-breaking increase in domestic processing approvals in June, with 1,023 companies gaining the right to process trades internally. This surge could accelerate liquidity and smart money flow in the market.

Domestic Processing Volume and Top Companies

■Top 5 companies by volume: Turkish Airlines (THYAO), Garanti BBVA (GARAN), İşbank (ISCTR), Koç Holding (KCHOL), Akbank (AKBNK)

■78% of BIST100 and 92% of BIST30 companies secured domestic processing rights.

Market Implications and Strategic Opportunities

■Dark pool volume: Increased by 23% in June, with smart money dominance rising while retail investors became less influential.

■Smart money tracking: Dark pool data revealed a 45% share gap between Investment Advisory Firms (IAF) and Portfolio Management Companies (PMC).

The surge in domestic processing at Borsa İstanbul will likely boost smart money flow and impact high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies. The rise in dark pool volume will enhance liquidity while reducing the influence of retail investors, potentially benefiting the short-term performance of BIST100 companies.
