Business
CME Group Inc. (CME) operates the world's leading derivatives marketplace, offering futures, options, cash, and over-the-counter (OTC) products across all major asset classes including interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, weather, and real estate; it facilitates trading via the CME Globex electronic platform, fixed-income transactions through BrokerTec, FX spot trading on EBS, and centralized clearing via CME Clearing, which acts as counterparty for exchange-traded and OTC derivatives to mitigate credit risk. Formed in 2007 through the merger of Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings and CBOT Holdings—with roots tracing to the Chicago Board of Trade founded in 1848—the company maintains headquarters at 20 South Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois, alongside key facilities in New York, London, Singapore, and other global hubs serving clients in over 150 countries. Its exchanges—Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), and Commodity Exchange (COMEX)—provide benchmark products for hedging, speculation, and asset allocation to institutional investors, corporations, traders, and individuals worldwide. Recent developments include a July 2025 ten-year extension of the exclusive Nasdaq-100 futures license with Nasdaq; October 2025 launches of options on Solana, XRP futures, 24/7 swap-based event contracts, and simplified spot-quoted futures to expand cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and retail access; a planned 2026 rollout of 24/7 cryptocurrency futures and options trading supported by Google Cloud partnership; November 2025 unveiling of a FanDuel prediction markets platform launching in December to tap 13 million retail accounts; and an April 2025 agreement with S&P Global to sell their 50/50-owned OSTTRA post-trade solutions joint venture to KKR for $3.1 billion enterprise value, enabling focus on core exchange operations.
