Bloomberg and Trading Firms Pay for Faster Access to Trump's Truth Social Posts
Bloomberg and two high-frequency trading firms, Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading, have subscribed to Truth Social's paid API service, which offers faster access to former President Donald Trump's posts for up to $100,000 monthly. This service provides a timing advantage by delivering posts about 50 milliseconds earlier, potentially influencing financial markets. Critics have raised ethical and legal concerns, including a lawsuit alleging that paid access to government-related announcements may be unconstitutional. The service reflects the growing impact of social media on market dynamics.
