Verifiable order message handling for electronic auctions. Electronic order messages are received, with at least one message including an order of a predetermined type having sell order information associated with an entity having securities not previously registered for transactions. Requests for participation in an electronic auction are identified from among the messages. The requests include auction-only order information, with at least one request including the order of the predetermined type. It is determined whether the sell order information in the order of the predetermined type meets a predetermined auction condition based on an auction price. When the sell order information meets the predetermined auction condition, the order is permitted to participate in the electronic auction, such that the order is executed in full in the electronic auction. When the sell order information does not meet the predetermined auction condition, the electronic auction is canceled.
