Could MCP-powered copy-trading disrupt ETFs? Investor floats paying 0.5% for trade signals
MartinGTobias · x · 2026-11-12
Martin Tobias floats an idea: if he likes an ETF charging 1% fees, would he pay 0.50% for an MCP endpoint of its trades that his bot could copy-trade? He says yes — skip the overhead of picking, regulatory, and filing costs, and just buy the signals.
He calls it "a huge break in the ETF business... someone will do it and it will be HUGE. Maybe Vanguard."
