New York Stock Exchange parent company ICE calls for regulatory level playing field, pushing for 24/7 on-chain perpetual contracts

Odaily reported that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is calling on regulators to create a level playing field, allowing licensed institutions to offer around-the-clock on-chain perpetual contracts. ICE executives stated that while platforms like Hyperliquid are already conducting such trading, traditional institutions are restricted by regulations and unable to follow suit.

ICE has engaged in discussions with Hyperliquid to explore areas of synergy between traditional finance and the crypto industry. Additionally, ICE recently partnered with OKX to launch crude oil-related perpetual contracts, while also teaming up with institutions to build a blockchain-based securities trading system, comprehensively deploying 24/7 on-chain trading operations.
