There should be some sorts of way to authenticate a GPS timestamp. GPS may not be able to do it today but a satellite network could in theory cryptographically sign a time stamp so that is can only be decrypted by the receiver at the market data center. Either that or some kind of ground based

Also, we are only talking about a delay long enough to satisfy the longest circuit so you could not push your timestamp very far back and would have to get the fake one done pretty quickly in order for it to be worthwhile. The real question is could you fake a cryptographic timestamp fast enough
