Operation and market mechanism
Account type
There are a variety of accounts for TIGRs due to the complicated issuance method, which can be divided into the following categories based on types and functions:
Purchase method
The existing TIGR market mechanism is not as clear as the certificate market in Europe and the United States due to cross-border issuance and different entrusted issuers of countries. Therefore, countries should be considered when seeking brokers and entrusted issuers for TIGR trade.
Certificate price
The price information has not been announced, considering the price has not been officially unified due to the large number of brokers and entrusted issuers.
