1. MIAX plans to launch financial futures trading by February 2026. 2. New MIAX Futures Onyx platform promises high-performance order processing. 3. First financial futures include Bloomberg 500 and US 100 indexes. 4. Launch subject to rule filings with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 5.

The launch of financial futures could attract increased trading volume, impacting MIAX positively. Historical examples show exchanges that diversified offerings, like CBOE with options, benefited significantly.

The full effects of diversifying into financial futures will materialize over time as market adoption increases. CBOE's futures launch led to sustained growth over several quarters.
