Korea Exchange they acquired Fairlabs driving AI shift across their operations in Busan, Seoul KRX made their first acquisition in 70 years as a business. And there's more, including the first Iceclear dataed product from their prediction market investment and useful NASDAQ private market indices too. That CME single stock futures launch reminds us that One Chicago was born on May 14, 2001 and died in September 2020, broadly strangled by a relatively stringent set of margin rul which had been created by, amongst others Bill Brodsky CBO to defend their options monopoly before Bill did a backflip and became a key holder of One Chicago alongside CME and CBOT in those days separate entities. Now CME is going it alone with cash settled features which presumably it feels confident it can self certify and add to its clearing outs. Back in the day parishioners may record Myself Ply along with Richard Sander and the late great Sir Brian Williamson are some of the only voices advocating for single stock futures out of their renaissance origins in Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Futures Exchange. Can they finally go mainstream in the USA or will the margin issue invertedly concocted via CBO in the Brodsky era continue to plague the product? 6x leverage to stock is touted on the CME SSF webpage.

Nextrade and the Korea Exchange have managed to win the nod for STO platforms. The KDX consortium was led by the Korea Exchange and the next consortium led by alternative trading platform NexTrade. They're going to be licensed operating STO platforms for fractionalized stock. It was a busy week for results in the Parish.
