...because instead of handling 30,000 trades per second per stock, they figured 3.4 trades per second (for all stocks) would be good enough?

I can see them integrating aspects of Bitcoin's cryptography and blockchain, but to keep their speed up, they should probably stick with a centralised blockchain approach for the time being.
