ClearBid Global Markets (CBGM) today announced it has selected Archax as its regulated digital asset partner to expand the reach of its cross-border digital bond trading and data platform into the UK and EU regions. CBGM is a full-service electronic trading platform and complete securities and data source, that effectively connects global bond markets utilising a digital Dutch Auction. This results in real-time, transparent and market-driven price discovery. It is an innovative substitute for traditional ‘over the counter’ (OTC) methods, with a direct focus on capital markets-based financing for infrastructure, corporate and asset-backed borrowers. Archax is a regulated digital asset exchange, broker and custodian, based in the UK, EU, US and UAE. Targeted at professionals and institutions, Archax supports all types of digital assets – from unregulated cryptocurrencies through to regulated tokenised real-world assets (RWAs). By selecting Archax as a strategic partner for cross-border expansion, CBGM will initially leverage Archax’s FCA regulations in the UK to offer its digital bond pre-issuance, trading and data platform to investors based there. Moving forwards, CBGM then plans to do the same in the EU region by leveraging Archax’s permissions there too. Robert Novembre, Founder and CEO of ClearBid Global Markets, comments: “Our partnership with Archax marks a significant milestone for CBGM as we expand into the UK and advance our global mission to redefine capital markets. By combining our vision for transparent, data‑driven markets with Archax’s fully regulated digital infrastructure, we are delivering institutional clients unprecedented visibility and liquidity across global bond markets. This collaboration empowers market participants to navigate complex environments through a single, seamless digital gateway”.”. Nick Donovan, Chief Revenue Officer of Archax, adds: “Archax is all about being the most credible, institutional and regulated, digital asset solution in the marketplace. We are always on the look-out for potential partners who can leverage our regulatory stack and together expand our digital offerings in the space. As such, we are excited to be working with ClearBid Global Markets with their innovative digital approach for providing access to bonds for capital markets participants.” CBGM’s digital bond marketplace is designed to revolutionise how capital is raised and invested by addressing the current market’s lack of transparency due to manual, antiquated pricing processes, as well as the lack of efficient accessibility and connectivity between markets, which limits global capital flows and growth for emerging markets.

The World Federation of Exchanges (“WFE”), the global industry association for exchange groups and CCPs, has warned of a substantial gap between regulatory expectations and industry expectations around quantum computing risk preparedness.Major public authorities, standards bodies, and cross-border policy groups have begun issuing guidance, calling for early preparation and coordinated migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This is driven by two core concerns:  Long lead times required to upgrade cryptographic systems; and  The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat where attackers steal encrypted data today to unlock it in future once more powerful technologies become available to break the encryption. The WFE Global Cybersecurity Working Group recently conducted a preliminary survey on the Quantum Computing Preparedness, the results of which highlight the importance of other competing priorities. In particular, Generative AI risks are viewed as far more urgent and immediate, consuming most organisational attention and investment. Quantum Computing is seen as a longer-term threat, with many firms hesitant to commit too many resources until clearer timelines or stable standards emerge. Most WFE members estimate a 5–10+ year window before cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) emerge, in line with NIST FAQs. Consequently, resourcing remains proportionate to a long-term risk, not an imminent one, and shouldn’t be prioritised at the expense of more immediate operational concerns such as AI-driven threats and Cyber Resiliency. This is consistent with the WFE’s 2025 Annual Survey of Risks where AI and Cyber Resilience risks continued to be ranked highest by members, as they have consistently for two years.  Although members do not consider Quantum Computing risk to be imminent, they have already begun laying the necessary groundwork for future preparedness, including: Actively monitoring regulatory guidance, vendor progress, and developments in NIST standardisation. Several are incorporating Quantum Computing discussions into risk committees and cyber governance forums. Preliminary quantum risk assessments. Including quantum-safe encryption criteria in procurement and vendor evaluation cycles. Considering projects to map existing cryptographic assets, as the first step in any migration roadmap. Working with the WFE to develop a best-practice guide on quantum transition, and a structured roadmap for market infrastructures. Nandini Sukumar, CEO of the World Federation of Exchanges, said, “While Quantum Computing readiness is undoubtedly important, the migration to post-quantum cryptography remains a long-term undertaking, and the practical groundwork - planning, asset mapping, and vendor coordination - should be paced appropriately. Whilst exchanges recognise that Quantum Computing is a meaningful risk, regulators must understand that preparation should not deflect from more imminent risks related to AI and Cyber Resilience.”Read the full paper here.

Since 1982, Regulation S-K has been the Commission’s central repository for filer disclosure requirements outside of the financial statements. Over the past forty-plus years, that repository has grown from the size of a gym locker to the size of an artificial-intelligence data center. Today, the disclosure that companies provide in response to the myriad requirements of Regulation S-K does not always reflect information that a reasonable investor would consider important in making an investment or voting decision. In other words, Regulation S-K currently elicits both material and a plethora of undisputably immaterial information. As Justice Thurgood Marshall suggested in his TSC Industries v. Northway opinion, burying shareholders in an avalanche of immaterial information is a result that neither protects investors nor facilitates capital formation. The Commission’s disclosure regime should enable a reasonable investor to separate the wheat from the chaff when reviewing periodic reports and proxy statements. With this goal in mind, I have instructed the Division of Corporation Finance to engage in a comprehensive review of Regulation S-K. The first step in this process took place last May, when the SEC solicited public comments and held a roundtable on the executive compensation disclosure requirements contained in Item 402 of Regulation S-K.[2] We have received over 70 unique comment letters,[3] and the staff is in the process of evaluating these letters and preparing recommendations to the Commission for revisions to Item 402. As a next step, the staff will focus on the other requirements of Regulation S-K. I welcome and encourage members of the public to provide their views on how the Commission can amend Regulation S-K, with the goal of revising the requirements to focus on eliciting disclosure of material information and avoid compelling the disclosure of immaterial information. Please submit your comments as soon as possible and by no later than April 13, 2026. Members of the public who wish to provide their views may submit comments electronically or on paper. Please submit comments using one method only. Information that we receive will be posted on the SEC’s website without change. Persons submitting comments are cautioned that we do not redact or edit personal identifying information from comment submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make publicly available.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has adopted a new Digital Strategy and updated its Data Strategy. They reflect ESMA’s commitment to smarter regulatory reporting and technology-driven supervision, promote synergies and innovation while reducing unnecessary complexity. The digital strategy aims to continue ESMA’s digital transformation, while the Data Strategy update is oriented to capitalise on opportunities to simplify, better integrate and streamline data management and technology.  ESMA Chair, Verena Ross, said: “ESMA is committed to smarter regulation and supervision, and this drives our dual focus on digitalisation and simplification. These two strategies support a digitally mature, resilient and agile authority that understands the importance of data for its community.  By helping to drive the digital transformation of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) we reinforce a more efficient, transparent, and resilient financial ecosystem for the EU.”  The new Digital Strategy 2026–2028 sets out a roadmap for innovation, efficiency, and resilience. The key objectives include: Building EU digital synergies Enhancing digital capabilities of ESMA and the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) Bolstering operational efficiency Establishing a secure and future-ready ecosystem. The Data Strategy 2023–2028 has been updated to reflect the focus on burden reduction, the evolving technological landscape, and ESMA’s desire for unlocking efficiency opportunities. While its key objectives remain the same, the key new actions include: Flagship initiatives related to streamlining supervisory reporting, relating to transaction data and in the funds domain Expanding the capacity of the ESMA Data Platform to benefit national and European authorities Implementing next phases of the MiCA joint supervisory tool for crypto-market monitoring Finalising the development of the European Single Access Point (ESAP). These goals are in line with ESMA’s wider simplification and burden reduction initiative launched last year. With the alignment of both the digital and data strategies, ESMA ensures that innovation and technology translate into tangible benefits for stakeholders, with more possibilities for synergies and digital transformation across ESMA and the ESFS at large. Next steps ESMA’s Data and Digital work will be guided by the roadmaps under both strategies. By 2029, ESMA expects to converge the two into one unified strategy.

TS Imagine, a global multi-asset SaaS platform offering portfolio and risk management, electronic trading, and prime brokerage solutions for the buy- and sell side, today released new year-over-year data from its TradeSmart fixed income execution management system (EMS) showing that fixed income electronification continues to accelerate and trading behavior continues to evolve. The data highlights sustained growth in the buy-side’s adoption of fixed income electronic trading tools and workflows, driven by increasing demand for scalability, enhanced price discovery, and reduced information leakage. Fixed income trading on TradeSmart grew 44% year over year in 2025, led by strong government bond activity, where volumes increased 76%, reflecting sustained momentum in electronic execution across highly liquid fixed income markets. Protocol-level metrics reveal significant shifts in fixed income trading behavior: Portfolio trading volumes surged 607% over the year, marking a sharp acceleration in the use of scalable execution strategies for complex risk transfer. RFQ responding volumes increased by 109%, highlighting deeper engagement across both sides of the RFQ workflow. Click-to-Trade protocol usage increased by 81%, indicating growing confidence in fast, executable pricing. Direct Dealer trading volumes rose 66% year over year, reflecting sustained demand for point-to-point electronic liquidity and improved pricing outcomes. Overall, the number of trades increased by 24% compared to 2024, reflecting broader platform adoption and more consistent electronic engagement across protocols. Andrew Morgan, President and Chief Revenue Officer for TS Imagine, said: “This data highlights how the electronification of fixed income markets is accelerating across geographies and sub-asset classes. The sharp increase in portfolio trading volumes in particular shows how trading is becoming more balance-sheet-aware and increasingly reliant on scalable execution strategies. As liquidity becomes more complex to access, execution management systems must provide traders with a unified view across execution, analytics, and risk.” TradeSmart TradeSmart is a multi-asset execution management platform that enables global financial institutions to trade with their counterparties through a single, integrated workflow. The platform provides access to TS Imagine’s global network of liquidity providers, brokers, and venues, alongside advanced execution tools, real-time market data, and analytics spanning more than 25 million financial instruments.

EEX Group concluded another record year, with further expansion of its global market position in 2025, driven by significant volume growth across its major asset classes, such as power, natural gas, as well as guarantees of origin and freight. The year was also characterised by significant milestones, such as the successful launch of the quarter-hourly auction products for the power day-ahead markets, the connection of the Baltic and Finnish gas markets to the EEX trading platform, as well as the further expansion of product portfolio underpinning the support for sustainable markets, including new guarantees of origin as well as EU ETS-2 related futures products.  Peter Reitz, CEO of EEX, comments: “In our 25th year, we achieved many successes across the board. I’m especially delighted that we see large interest both in our well-established as well as in our newly-added products. For example in the power derivatives market, the Japanese power volume doubled year-on-year in its fifth year of operation and also the Nordic power markets picked up pace in the second part of 2025. As a result, in terms of volume, we were able to maintain our position as both the largest power and gas spot exchange platform world-wide and I believe in the continued growth throughout 2026."   Power markets continue growth In 2025, the total EEX Group global power volume increased by 9% to 13,493.7 TWh. The European power spot markets increased by 6% to 917.5 TWh, with increases both on the day-ahead (+ 3%) and intraday markets (+13%). The European power derivatives markets grew by 11% to 9,330.3 TWh. The biggest volume expansion year-on-year performed the Spanish (+36%), Hungarian (+34%) and French (+21%) Power Futures, while the French Power Futures also reached a new record in December at 180.6 TWh (+50% against Dec. 2024). In 2025, the volume on the German Power Futures markets exceeded 6,000 TWh for the first time. Throughout the year EEX’s market share in net open interest in cleared German Power Futures steadily increased from 88% to 91%, according to ESMA’s open interest data. With that, EEX strengthened its position as the most liquid market platform for German power trading last year again. Nordic power has seen significant and consistent growth over the last four months of the year, following the launch of the comprehensive incentive programme, with significant increases in the trading month December (+979%) compared to the same month in the previous year. Coming from a very strong year 2024, the US power derivatives markets reached a volume of 3,096.7, which is a 4% increase year-on-year. The Japanese power derivatives market concluded a very successful year, doubling the annually traded volume of year-on-year, reaching 149.2 TWh in 2025 (+105%). In addition, December saw a new monthly record of 17.5 TWh in this market. Significant increases in European natural gas trading The total EEX Group natural gas volumes increased by 24% YoY, reaching a new annual record at 8,823.2 TWh. The European natural gas spot markets grew by 18% to 3,428.7 TWh. This positive development was supported by a strong performance in the German THE market (+25%). The UK, Belgian, Czech and Danish gas spot markets also showed a promising development. Trading in European gas derivatives rose by 30% to 5.113,9 TWh. Growth drivers were in particular the German THE (+59%) and Dutch TTF (+25%) market. EEX also saw an excellent development on the Belgian ZTP Gas Futures market which more than tripled to 104.7 TWh as well as the Italian Gas Futures (PSV) which increased by 78%. In September 2025, EEX integrated trading of Baltic-Finnish gas products, previously offered by the GET Baltic exchange, onto its platform and achieved a record trading volume in these markets in 2025. The Baltic Finnish spot markets reported an 39% growth to 11.6 TWh, while the volume in gas derivatives tripled, reaching a total of 232.1 GWh. The natural gas volumes traded in the US remained stable at 280.7 TWh in 2025. Hightlights from the environmental and freight markets Trading in European emissions allowances resulted in a volume of 1,316.3 million tonnes of CO2 in 2025 which is a slight decrease as against 2024. Volumes auctioned off at EEX in the primary auctions and sold within the nEHS remained almost stable. In 2025, roughly EUR 60 billion was generated for the member states, which mostly aim to use these proceeds on climate protection plans. In the secondary market, EUA options trading surged, reaching almost 5 million tonnes of CO2 (2024: 0,003 million tonnes of CO2). Furthermore, in December the European EUA Futures markets rose by 279% YoY, driven by a strong development in the secondary markets. The EEX GO Futures segment saw its first full year of trading, contributing a volume of 36.2 TWh. Since launch in September 2024, EEX registered a steady growth on this market, with volumes traded in all contracts and increasing number of participants.
