Going Public: HKEX Makes History on Its Own Exchange (2000) Today marks the 24th anniversary of a significant milestone for the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX)! On June 27th, 2000, HKEX became one of the first stock exchanges in the world to list its own shares on its own platform, trading under stock code 388. This bold move marked a turning point for HKEX, solidifying its position as a leading player in the global financial landscape. By going public, HKEX aligned its interests with those of its listed companies and investors, fostering a sense of shared purpose within the market. The listing also offered investors a unique opportunity to participate in the growth of the exchange itself. Since its IPO, HKEX's share price has grown significantly, reflecting the exchange's increasing influence and market capitalization. This pioneering move by HKEX not only served its own strategic objectives but also inspired other exchanges around the world to consider similar paths. The listing of HKEX shares remains a testament to its commitment to transparency and its role as a central pillar of the Hong Kong financial system. As we highlighted on Exchange Invest's first decade retrospective, HKEX has emerged as a true winner over the past decade. Despite initial challenges, the exchange's leadership has demonstrably navigated market shifts and capitalized on strategic opportunities, such as the successful implementation of Stock Connect and the expansion into RMB products. With Bonnie Y Chan at the helm and a focus on further growth, HKEX appears poised for a new era of success. #HKEXHistory #ExchangeInnovation #MarketStructure #SelfListedExchange #ExchangeHistory

With #TXSE's upcoming launch, people have asked me for comment on why prop firms invest in exchanges. When #MEMX and #MIAX launched, they also had a bevy of prop shops that invested. MIAX gave big fee incentives for the prop firms that invested in them, i.e. the prop firms were prepaying for a big discount in hopes to save significant trading costs in the future when the exchange actually has substantial ADV. Propping up other exchanges also helps market makers exert some competitive pricing control over the big three (#NYSE, #Nasdaq, #Cboe), who are not beholden to any one prop shop or even prop firms as a whole and can set whatever fees or trading rules they want that potentially hurt these prop firms. Keep in mind a single prop firm could make up like 2-40% of the trading revenues of an exchange, so they're extremely sensitive to these fees and rules. Other than that it's just a regular investment decision in a familiar business? #MIAX and #TXSE's founders are obviously well-connected in this industry and had an easier time fundraising within the industry. On the other hand #IEX and #LTSE were more like outsiders.

The #NYSE has proposed a rule granting it discretionary authority to delist companies that change their primary business focus to a “substantially different” area of business, with delisting actions to be undertaken following a qualitative assessment of a company’s suitability for continued listing. If adopted, companies listed on the NYSE should monitor any delisting actions to better understand the “substantially different” standard, and companies contemplating a change in business focus should consider how the NYSE would view their suitability for continued listing following such change. https://bit.ly/4dA8S9p David Sakowitz | Ben Smolij | Andrew Butler | #WinstonTransactions
