Due for release in Q1 2009, uncertainty over its future sprang from the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September (Baikal was due to use algo and anti-gaming technology from the now-bankrupt investment bank). Baikal was designed to allow the LSE to compete with the likes of Turquoise, BATS, DirectEdge and Chi-X.

In 2007, GS added electronic trading capability for China A-Shares (quoted in Renminbi and available only to mainlanders and selected FIIs).
