: Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, has launched a U.S. investment-grade bond offering, just two weeks after the company announced its approximately $6 billion acquisition of the electronic bond trading platform MarketAxess.According to sources familiar with the matter, ICE's bond issuance is planned in up to five tranches, with maturities ranging from 3 to 10 years. The initial pricing guidance for the longest-dated bonds is approximately 1.15 percentage points above U.S. Treasury yields.ICE previously announced that it would acquire MarketAxess Holdings for approximately $6 billion to further expand its footprint in the fixed-income trading market. MarketAxess is one of the world's leading electronic bond trading platforms, primarily serving institutional investors and providing trading services for fixed-income products such as corporate bonds and government bonds.This acquisition is seen as a significant move by ICE to strengthen its bond market infrastructure. ICE currently owns the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), futures exchanges, clearing houses, and data services businesses, while MarketAxess's electronic bond trading network will help ICE further expand its fixed-income asset trading ecosystem.Market participants noted that as bond trading becomes increasingly electronic, traditional exchange operators are competing for institutional investment market share through acquisitions of trading platforms and data companies. This financing also reflects the trend of major financial infrastructure companies supporting strategic mergers and acquisitions through the debt market. (Bloomberg)

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.

the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to introduce a new regulatory framework for trading tokenized stocks, which could be announced as early as this week. It is reported that the SEC is studying an "innovation exemption" mechanism, allowing trading platforms to offer digital versions of listed securities on-chain under more relaxed regulatory conditions. This move is seen as a significant signal that U.S. regulators are further shifting towards supporting tokenized securities.Currently, multiple Wall Street institutions have accelerated their layout in related businesses. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to launch limited production trading of tokenized assets in July and expand promotion in October; Nasdaq is developing a blockchain-based stock issuance framework; and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is advancing tokenized stocks and crypto-related products through its partnership with OKX.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins previously stated that the SEC is considering establishing formal rules for on-chain trading systems, blockchain settlement infrastructure, and crypto custody models, and believes that existing securities regulations are no longer suitable for on-chain protocols that integrate trading, clearing, and settlement.

Currently, relevant discussions are still in their early stages, but they have sparked further attention on whether on-chain derivatives should be incorporated into the traditional regulatory system.
