HOUSTON (July 30, 2015) – Ion Energy Group, a portfolio company of leading independent interdealer broker OTC Global Holdings (OTCGH), today announced that it has brokered the first options contract on the newly launched Nasdaq Futures Exchange (NFX).
“This is yet another example of Ion Energy and OTCGH’s continued leadership in the commodities space,” said Sid Perkins, Ion Energy Managing Director. “Daring to do things differently, like expanding our brokering services to include the NFX, is consistent with OTCGH’s mission and allows the company’s brokers to continue providing unmatched service and liquidity to our customers in an ever-changing market.”
In addition to brokering services, OTCGH has worked to integrate its EOXLive active markets platform on Nasdaq’s new exchange.
