  3. ICE senior vice president Trabue Bland said the partnership represents progress toward creating the core infrastructure that will shape global market operations in the decades ahead.
  4. The companies said that, pending regulatory approval, the venture is expected to function as a registered broker-dealer and futures commission merchant.
