FIA Futures & Options Expo

FIA Futures & Options Expo is an annual event that the Futures Industry Association (FIA) holds that showcases risk management products, trading tools, books, exchange and technology products as presented by more than 140 U.S. and international companies. 
The Expo also offers a variety of sessions that allow participants to discuss industry trends, hear experts' views on key issues, improve trading skills and learn about new products, systems and practices. The programs include sessions for business, operations and technology professionals and traders. 
More than 4,000 people from more than 30 countries attend Expo in a typical year ranging from senior staff at brokerage firms and exchanges to professional traders, floor traders, CTAs and CPOs, and individual investors.

== Challenges ==
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy ripped through the East Coast and hampered travel for many who would have attended the conference. 
Following the conference, the FIA released the following statement from Walt Lukken, chairman of the FIA:
Open Letter of Appreciation to FIA Expo Participants
On behalf of the FIA, I want to express my sincere thanks for helping us host another successful FIA Expo in Chicago. This year's conference was overshadowed by some of the worst weather that the East Coast of the U.S. has ever seen, and our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastation caused by the storm. We also deeply appreciate the extraordinary efforts made by participants in the greater New York metropolitan area to come to Chicago, even if that meant driving all the way or flying in for only one day. I also want to thank many of our Chicago and international colleagues who stepped up as speakers to replace those who were unable to travel. Although attendance was understandably down from last year due to the storm, we are pleased to report that nearly 3,800 people showed up in person, and the gala dinner held on Thursday night raised over $360,000 for the Greater Chicago Food Depository and our fight against hunger. Our industry has always shown tremendous resilience in the face of adversity. This year's Expo is a testament to that fact, and all of us here at the FIA appreciate your continued commitment and dedication.

FIA Global

FIA Global was the name for the umbrella organization that allowed the three trade associations representing listed derivatives markets - FIA Europe, U.S. Futures Industry Association and the Singapore-based FIA Asia, to coordinate policies prior to the merger of all three into one organization on January 8, 2016. The groups announced the planned merger on June 20, 2013. The new organization is called the Futures Industry Association, or FIA.
The FIA Global board consisted of 15 members consisting of members of each affiliate organization, plus the chairs and CEOs of each affiliate. 
== History ==
The FIA was founded in New York in 1955 as the Association of Commodity Exchange Firms to provide a discussion forum and means for improving the operating efficiency of the U.S. futures industry, as well as an educational and informational interface with the public. The association expanded in 1973 to include Chicago-based FCMs and changed its name to the Futures Industry Association in 1978, relocating to Washington D.C. In 2007, a Singapore-based affiliate, FIA Asia, was launched to serve the rapidly growing futures industry in the Asia and the Pacific Rim. 
The London-based FOA was formed in 1993 following an initiative by the Bank of England and a number of futures industry participants to consolidate the fragmented landscape of trade associations. In March of 2011, the FOA and the FIA set up a task force to examine the possibility of closer co-operation, including a possible merger of the two associations. 
The combined association was formalized in principle in June 2013, executed in 2015, and set an effective date of January 4, 2016. In order to create a consistent brand name across jurisdictions, as part of the agreement, FOA changed its name to FIA Europe.

FIX Protocol

The Financial Information eXchange ("FIX") Protocol is an electronic "language" or set of message specifications for communicating electronic trade-related messages. It was developed through a collaboration among banks, broker-dealers, exchanges, industry utilities and associations, institutional investors, and information technology providers around the world as a common, global language for trading financial instruments electronically. 
Financial trading firms use the FIX protocol to conduct fast, transparent and cost-efficient transactions. FIX is open and free. It is not software, but software developers can create commercial or open-source software around its specifications. As a leading trade-communications protocol, FIX is integral to many order management and trading systems. It supports multiple formats and types of communications between financial entities including email, texting, trade allocation, order submissions, order changes, execution reporting and advertisements. 
FIX is owned and maintained by FIX Protocol, Ltd.
== History ==
The FIX Protocol was developed in 1992 for equity trading between Fidelity Investments and Salomon Brothers. FIX has become the de facto messaging standard for pre-trade and trade communication in the global equity markets, and is expanding into the post-trade space to support Straight-Through- Processing, as well as continuing to expand into foreign exchange, fixed income and derivatives markets.

== Key People ==
== News ==
On July 15, 2008, FOW TRADEdata announced the availability through its Xymbology service of Alternative Instrument Identification (AII) symbology for prescribed European futures and options markets under MiFiD’s mandatory transaction reporting requirements. The more extensive requirement under MiFiD to passport transaction records across and to view concentrated trading within EU jurisdictions demands not only uniform instrument symbology, but also its consistent application along the reporting chain. The adoption by the industry of the AII as an enriched data field for key markets facilitates this process within an automated environment capable of handling current and predicted substantial increases in trade volumes.

FTX US

FTX US, a cryptocurrency trading platform, is the U.S.-based subsidiary of FTX, a Hong Kong cryptocurrency derivatives platform registered in Antigua. FTX US is regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The company established West Realm Shires to do business as FTX.US. West Realm Shires is a money services business registrant with FinCEN. 
Trading launched on the platform on May 22, 2020. FTX and FTX.US CEO Sam Bankman-Fried told The Block Crypto, “I think U.S. crypto customers have been under-served for a while, and I'm excited to try to push the industry forward.” 
 
FTX US offers trading pairs based on bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash, Paxos Gold and U.S. dollar Tether. According to the FTX.US website, the platform offers 10% margins on its spot trades. Despite having separate order books from its parent, FTX.US claims, "We have a history of providing market-leading liquidity--from some of the industry's top market makers to the most liquid futures order books. Because of this FTX.US has had industry-leading order-books from day one."
In discussing its recent Series B fund raise that brought in $900 million, on July 22, 2021 FTX's American CEO, Bankman-Fried, told CoinDesk TV's audience, "When you look at FTX.US, there's an enormous amount of potential growth in the states."
In August 2021 FTX.US agreed to acquire LedgerX for an undisclosed sum. The move should enable FTX.US to expand its product offerings to futures and options trading in the U.S. 
In April 2022 FTX US agreed to take a stake in IEX Group Inc., the owner of the stock exchange made famous by the book “Flash Boys.” The companies said they plan to collaborate on building a market structure for trading crypto securities and work closely with regulators. The deal is set to close in May 2022.
On May 11, 2022 FTX US revealed its application for a trust charter from the New York State Department of Financial Services for the FTX Trust Company by appointing Marissa MacDonald as chief compliance officer for the FTX Trust Company. MacDonald previously held an equivalent position at Fidelity Digital Assets. 
In August 2022, FTX US received a cease-and-desist letter from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. regarding “false or misleading statements” about certain products being eligible for insurance protection. The statements included a now-deleted tweet by then-FTX US President Brett Harrison. At the time, Harrison was quoted in the press as saying, “We really didn’t mean to mislead anyone, and we didn’t suggest that FTX US itself, or that crypto/non-fiat assets, benefit from FDIC insurance."
