Smaller brokerage firms do not have their own wire line, but need to send transactions by transmitting them through a bank's wire system.

ref: 1994, Transnational Law & Contemporary Problems, volume 4, page 397:
text: Because the overall system architecture negates, it is appropriate to call the structural principle of this order negarchical and the overall order a negarchy. The tasks that define security negarchies are not arbitrary, and are intimately connected to the logics of both hierarchy and anarchy. Negarchy is the arrangement of institutions needed to prevent simultaneously the emergence of hierarchy and anarchy. In a workable negarchy, the particular configurations of negatives vary with the relative strengths of multiple threats, but the antithesis to hierarchy and anarchy remains constant. Understood in this way, negarchy is a third – and liberal – structural principle of political order, along with hierarchy and anarchy.
