Flett Exchange was a New Jersey-based electronic exchange for environmental commodity credits, established around 2004. Flett specialised in US environmental market instruments including NOx (nitrogen oxide) allowances under the EPA SIP Call, SO2 (sulphur dioxide) allowances under the Acid Rain Program, Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon allowances, and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The exchange served power generators, utilities, and compliance buyers navigating the complex US state and federal cap-and-trade regulatory frameworks for air emissions.
The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange (WCE), founded in 1887, was Canada's primary agricultural futures exchange, serving as the world's leading market for canola futures and other Canadian crops including oats, flaxseed, and domestic feed wheat. In 2007, WCE was acquired by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and renamed ICE Futures Canada in 2008. Canola futures, the exchange's flagship contract, continue to be one of the most actively traded agricultural derivatives globally under ICE.
The Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX), founded in 1881, is the United States' primary futures market for Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSWW) — the high-protein wheat used in premium breads and noodles. MGEX also provides agricultural cash commodity trading and clearing services. Acquired by Miami International Holdings (MIAX) in 2020, MGEX continues to serve as an essential price-discovery and risk management platform for Spring Wheat, a crop critical to North American and global food production.
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) was founded in 2000 to digitize the energy markets and provide greater pricing transparency. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, ICE has grown into a global network of exchanges, clearing houses, and data services spanning energy, agricultural, financial, and emissions markets. ICE operates multiple regulated markets including ICE Futures U.S., ICE Futures Europe, and the NYSE, serving participants in over 100 countries.
The Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) was one of the world's largest derivatives exchanges, founded in São Paulo in 1983. In 2008, BM&F merged with the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) to form BM&FBOVESPA. In 2017, it merged again with CETIP to create B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) — now Latin America's largest financial exchange group by market capitalisation. B3 continues to operate commodity derivatives including sugar, arabica coffee, live cattle, ethanol, and gold contracts.
