Liffe

Also see: NYSE Liffe
Liffe (originally "LIFFE," the acronym for the London International Financial Futures Exchange, was formed in London in 1982.
Following mergers with the London Traded Options Market (LTOM) and the London Commodity Exchange (LCE), Liffe added equity options and a range of soft and agricultural commodity products to its existing financial mix.
Trading on Liffe, as on other futures exchanges, was originally conducted by open outcry with each product traded in a designated trading pit. In 1998 Liffe embarked on a course that transfered all of its futures and options from the traditional method of trading to an electronic platform known as LIFFE CONNECT. By 1998 it among among the top three futures and options exchanges in volume globally.
LIFFE was acquired by Euronext in 2002 and re-named Euronext.liffe. Euronext was in turn acquired by the New York Stock Exchange on Apr. 4, 2007, and LIFFE became NYSE Liffe. Intercontinental Exchange then acquired NYSE Euronext in 2013.

Lima Stock Exchange

__NOTOC__
The Lima Stock Exchange (LSE), known locally by its Spanish acronym BVL, has recently begun diversifying beyond its century-plus history heavy on mining company listings in mineral- and metal-rich Peru. Following the introduction of electronic trading earlier this decade, the LSE's market capitalization expanded rapidly and trading vloumes and value continue to grow impressively.
==Background==
 
The LSE was first formed on 1860 and then reformed in 1898 as the Stock Exchange of Lima following a period of hyperinflation that knocked out the previous exchange. Following the upheavals of previous decades, the renewed Bolsa de Comercio de Lima began trading in 1951, replaced in 1971 by the modern-day Lima Stock Exchange. The LSE later adopted an electronic trading platform and in 2002 moved to transform the exchange into a corporation commencing 2003. Consequently, the Inter-American Development Bank reports that the total market capitalization of the LSE's listed companies grew six times in the six years to 2007, to almost US$108 billion. 
In September 2009 the Lima Stock Exchange joined the Colombia Stock Exchange and the Santiago Stock Exchange in Chile in agreeing to integrate their stock market trading and memberships. The LSE also recently announced a partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) to encourage smaller Chilean companies, preferably one located in rural areas, to list on the LSE by offering assistance and support from the IPO process. 
==Key Products==
The Lima Stock Exchange's benchmark stock index, the Lima General Index - ticker symbol IGBVL - was formed on December 31, 1981 with a base value of 100. The IGBVL is value-weighted, tracks the largest and most-traded stocks on the LSE and was valued in mid-September 2009 at around 15,000 Peruvian nuevo sol (PEN).
==Key People==
 
General Manager Federico Oviedo Vidal has held that position since February 2001 after first joining the exchange as a legal adviser in 1979 and becoming the LSE's legal manager in 1989. Vidal is a law graduate from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
==Latest News==
Rebounding commodity prices and a soaring IGBVL index have prompted Canadian mining company Plexmar resources to re-start its IPO that was suspended in 2008 amidst a volatile market. The IGBVL has doubled in value between January and September of 2009, boosted by rising commodity prices in a market where almost two-thirds of the LSE's listed companies are mining or exploration stocks. The LSE has been successfully listing foreign mining stocks since 2005.

Limit move

Many futures contracts have daily price limits, equally higher and lower than the previous day's closing price. When a market moves to the daily price limit, it is said to have made a "limit move." This is also referred to as limit up or limit down.
Similarly, many futures options contracts have daily price limits, which are most often equal to the daily price limit of the underlying contract.
 
During limit moves in futures, traders will often use the related option contract to determine the implied futures price, or where the futures would be trading if there were no limit. Traders will use synthetic futures contracts, a put and a call at the same strike price and same month, to determine the implied futures price of a limit move. For example, with December corn futures locked up the limit at $4.00, if the trader were to buy a December corn $4.00 call option and sell a December corn $4.00 put option, the difference between the two prices would give the trader the implied price where the futures were trading.
If the $4.00 call is trading at 25 cents and the $4.00 put is trading at 20 cents, then by adding the difference of 5 cents to the strike price, the implied futures price would indicate a $4.05 during a limit up move to $4.00.

Liquid Network

The Liquid Network is a platform designed by Blockstream to improve the settlement process for digital assets. Liquid's launch was announced on October 10, 2018.
== Overview ==
The Liquid Network connects numerous cryptocurrency exchanges, brokers, and various other financial institutions. Trading platforms included in the network are Bitfinex, BitMEX, and OKCoin. The Liquid Network uses its own digital token called "Liquid Bitcoin" (L-BTC), which is native (it cannot be traded or exchanged outside of the Liquid Network). Each L-BTC token is pegged to a regular bitcoin, which means the L-BTC token can be swapped out for a bitcoin at any time.
The Liquid Network is designed to improve the speed and cost of settling large volumes of bitcoin-based transactions. It is technically a sidechain, or a blockchain that is built over an existing blockchain (in this case, the bitcoin blockchain). A sidechain begins as a carbon-copy of the blockchain it is attached to before it goes live. Transactions carried out on a sidechain don't need to be included in the main blockchain's blocks, so no network fees are incurred by transacting over the sidechain. 
In essence, the Liquid Network is similar to the Lightning Network although, unlike the Lightning Network, the Liquid Network specifically aims to attract large financial institutions and exchanges, as it is designed to help them settle high volumes of transactions.
