The company is building and operating regulated financial marketplaces across multiple asset classes and geographies.

The first Bloomberg Products the company plans to exclusively list under the Bloomberg License Agreement are futures and cash-settled index options on the B500 Index. The company expects to launch futures on the B500 Index late in the fourth quarter of 2025 or early in the first quarter of 2026 on MIAX Futures, cash-settled index options on the B500 Index in the first half of 2026 on MIAX Options, and options on futures on the B500 Index on MIAX Futures targeted for the second half of 2026, subject to certain regulatory filings. The company plans to have the Bloomberg Products cleared at OCC, also subject to certain regulatory filings.
In January 2025, the company entered into an amendment to the Service Schedule, which added the B100Q Index to the list of exclusively-licensed indexes under the Bloomberg License Agreement. The license terms for the B100Q Index are the same as the license terms for the B500 Index. The company anticipates that the first proprietary product based on the B100Q Index will be the MIAX Tini Bloomberg 100Q Futures, which it plans to launch in the first half of 2026, subject to certain regulatory filings with the CFTC.
The company lists Hard Red Spring Wheat futures and options on futures contracts on MIAX Futures.

U.S. Futures and Options on Futures
The company operates two futures exchanges and two futures clearing houses in the United States, each regulated by the CFTC, operating with different products and service models. The company’s access to the U.S. futures and options on futures markets positions MIAX as a multi-asset exchange operator.
MIAX Futures: MIAX Futures is a fully electronic, vertically integrated futures exchange and clearing house. It is registered with the CFTC as a DCM and DCO. MIH acquired 100% ownership of MIAX Futures on December 4, 2020. MIAX Futures provides the company with access to the U.S. futures market, positioning MIAX as a multi-asset exchange operator.

The company launched MIAX Futures Onyx on June 29, 2025, with the migration of Minneapolis Hard Red Spring Wheat futures that traded on the CME Globex trading platform.
The MIAX Futures DCO operates on proprietary technology, which the company upgraded in 2023 to support its growing portfolio of new products and to enhance customer experience. The MIAX Futures DCO serves as the exclusive venue for the clearing of agricultural products listed on the MIAX Futures DCM. MIAX Futures also plans to clear the Bloomberg Products that trade on MIAX Futures through OCC.
MIAX Futures has entered into an agreement to provide clearing services to the Intelligent Medicine Exchange (IMX), which is developing a futures marketplace based on multiple aspects of the health care economy, for certain cash settled futures and options on futures contracts.

MIAX Futures only clears futures and options on futures permitted to be cleared by U.S. DCOs registered with the CFTC.

Only contracts traded on DCMs and approved by the CFTC are eligible to be cleared by MIAX Futures Clearing.
MIAXdx. MIH acquired MIAXdx on May 19, 2023. MIAXdx is a fully electronic vertically integrated DCM and DCO, with regulatory approval from the CFTC to list and clear fully collateralized futures, options on futures and swaps.

MIAXdx obtained approvals on July 6, 2017 (SEF), July 24, 2017 (DCO), and June 24, 2019 (DCM). The DCO Order was amended on September 2, 2020 to remove a provision that limited the products eligible for the DCO to digital assets.
On October 16, 2017, MIAXdx commenced its principal business activities, making it the first federally regulated exchange and clearing house to list and clear fully collateralized, physically settled Bitcoin swaps and options through its SEF.

On June 30, 2021, MIAXdx began to list and clear fully collateralized, physically settled Ether swaps and options.
The company also plans to expand access for participants on MIAXdx in the future, incorporating an intermediated access model through FCMs while keeping direct access for certain participants, and offering margin on cleared products.
The acquisition of MIAXdx provides the company with a second venue in the U.S. futures market, positioning MIAX as a multi-asset exchange operator across multiple venues not only in options and equities but in futures and swaps as well. There were 247 participants on MIAXdx that executed at least one trade in June 2024.
As of July 24, 2024, MIAXdx delisted all of its physically settled products on its DCM and SEF.

MIAXdx’s third-party custodian, BitGo Trust, maintains a trading facility (BitGo Prime) that offers institutional trading services for clients whose assets are held in in cold storage with BitGo Trust.
Similar to MIAX Futures, the company offers clearing services for U.S. futures, options and swaps on futures through the MIAXdx derivatives clearing organization (MIAXdx Clearing). Any clearing service MIAXdx provides is regulated under the MIAXdx DCO license. MIAXdx only clears futures, options on futures or swaps permitted to be cleared by U.S. DCOs registered with the CFTC.

Dorman Trading is a trading member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. Group of exchanges consisting of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) and is a clearing member of CME Clearing for trades executed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. Group of exchanges. Dorman Trading is also a trading member of ICE Futures U.S., a clearing member of ICE Clear U.S. and a clearing member of MIAX Futures.

Dorman Trading’s business involves establishing and carrying open positions for clients on regulated futures exchanges. Dorman Trading is required to post and maintain margin or credit support to clearing houses for these positions. As customers place futures orders, they are required to provide margin to Dorman Trading, which becomes a source of cash flow in the support of initial margin and maintenance margin requirements at the clearing house. The timing of clearing house cash flow requirements is not under the control of Dorman Trading because exchanges mark-to-market daily and require that margins be maintained on a daily basis. If a customer fails to meet a margin call, Dorman Trading is required to fund the customer’s position until margin is provided or the customer’s position is closed out. Dorman Trading manages cash flow liquidity through the implementation of procedures that are designed to minimize unexpected mismatched payments and settlements. The foregoing is applicable to crypto-asset related futures transactions whether financially or physically settled as well as non-crypto asset-related futures transactions.
Dorman Trading has relationships with introducing brokers, both domestic and international, who solicit clients for their execution services. Those introducing brokers work to establish execution and/or clearing accounts with Dorman Trading for those new client relationships, but generally serve as the primary relationship and customer service point of contact for those clients.
Dorman Trading clients may trade cash settled crypto asset-related futures products traded on the U.S. futures exchanges and through September 2023, could trade Bakkt Bitcoin Monthly Futures (ICE Futures U.S.) physically settled crypto asset-related products.

Planned Proprietary Products
In July 2024, the company entered into the Bloomberg License Agreement, a license agreement to develop and list the Bloomberg Products. The launch of the Bloomberg Products will require the submission of certain rule filings to, and approvals from, the SEC (for cash-settled index option products), and the submission of certain rule filings to the CFTC (for cash-settled index futures and options on futures products). The clearing of Bloomberg Products at the OCC is also subject to a regulatory filing with the SEC.
The ten-year term under the Service Schedule for the B500 Index and B500 Volatility Index does not expire until the tenth anniversary of the date the first product is listed. The Service Schedule is primarily structured as a revenue sharing arrangement, whereby Bloomberg is paid a portion of the net transaction fees collected for executions in each Bloomberg Product listed and traded on one of the company’s affiliated U.S. exchanges. The revenue share percentages are tiered, based upon the average daily volume of the Bloomberg Products listed and traded on the company’s exchanges, calculated on a quarterly basis. The company has sole discretion to determine the amount of the transaction fees charged to market participants that transact in each of the Bloomberg Products, subject to certain regulatory filings. The Service Schedule also contains joint marketing obligations of the parties, to market and promote the Bloomberg Products and the Bloomberg Indexes. The Service Schedule also provides for automatic three-year renewal terms, provided certain minimum revenue thresholds are met.
The first Bloomberg Products the company plans to exclusively list are futures and cash-settled index options on the B500 Index. The B500 Index employs a transparent, rules-based methodology to track the 500 most highly capitalized U.S.-listed companies. It is designed to provide users with clear, predictive, U.S. large cap exposure, free of undue subjectivity.
In January 2025, the company entered into an amendment to the Service Schedule, which added the B100Q Index to the list of exclusively-licensed indexes under the Bloomberg License Agreement.
