The chatter on Reddit forums could soon be used to power hedge funds' trading strategies, thanks to a partnership between the social-media company and the parent of the New York Stock Exchange.
Intercontinental Exchange, or ICE for short, and Reddit said they had reached an agreement in which the exchange group would develop data products based on content from Reddit forums. Such data could be used to identify real-time shifts in market sentiment and power trading algorithms, the companies said.
