CQG, the trading technology solutions provider, plans to provide day-one access to the MIAX Futures Exchange, including Bloomberg equity index futures contracts, upon the launch of the exchange’s Onyx matching engine in June 2025. The announcement was made at the Futures & Options Expo in Chicago.

This development aligns with Miami International Holdings, Inc.’s (MIH) strategic rebranding of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange to MIAX Futures Exchange, aiming to expand its offerings to include agricultural and financial futures. MIH recently partnered with Bloomberg Index Services Limited to create a range of index-based futures and options products. CQG’s integration with MIAX Futures will enable its clients to trade these innovative products immediately upon their release.

Commenting on the announcement, CQG CEO Ryan Moroney said: “We’ve been delighted to work closely with MIH on the development of its new trading engine and to be among the first to enable clients to trade on the MIAX Futures Onyx platform. Our clients are already trading the Minneapolis Hard Red Spring Wheat contract on MIAX Futures and are excited to have additional financial futures products to trade in conjunction with other products on our network, utilizing the full range of CQG tools at their fingertips.”

Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and CEO of MIH, added: “CQG’s sophisticated trading infrastructure will provide its network of professional traders with direct access to our current and planned derivatives products and aligns with our strategy of expanding access to MIAX Futures through industry-leading trading platforms.”
