Five individuals have been nominated for this year's Industry Person of the Year; the winner will be decided by a live vote at Leaders in Trading on 5 November at The Savoy, London.
Individual joins as an electronic sales trader and brings extensive industry experience spanning senior and trader positions at firms including Rothschild & Co, State Street, Instinet and Dresdner Kleinwort.
The move is set to support firms using AI to build their own trading tools, while keeping every order decision within a deterministic, auditable core.
Rothschild & Co brought together IEX, OneChronos, and XTX to explore how the US non-displayed midpoint liquidity landscape is evolving - and why curating order flow toward venues designed to promote price stability and increase the probability of interacting with high-quality liquidity matters more than ever.
Launch follows Cboe’s go-live of expanded trading access for options earlier this month; enhancement also includes further updates to the firm’s options suite, such as new single stock option spreads and expanded intraday trading capabilities.
The new offering is set to launch in November 2026 and will provide institutional investors with new access pathways for liquidity while also supported by the protections of Nasdaq’s regulated venues.
