Who’s on the Money‑Making Exchange Hall of Fame?
In a whirlwind of numbers, CME strutted its way back onto the top of the globe’s prized exchange ledger, boasting a brand worth of $2.4 B—up a tidy 5% from last year. The gladiator of globals, warmed by Brand Finance’s hard‑earned credibility.
What’s Cooking in the Market Kitchen?
2023 was a bit of a storm‑trove: rates on the rise, world politics rattling, and the economy barely keeping it in the dog‑house. Yet, the exchanges that rolled up their sleeves, cooked up clever tactics, and moved forward saw a good taste of success.
Innovation Time, Folks!
Just when you thought the season was over, Nasdaq decided to play the “play it forward” card, catapulting its value by a jaw‑dropping 32% to a cool $2.3 B. That’s a leap of two spots—fourth place zoomed to number two. Talk about a market change!
Meanwhile, NYSE (the jewel from Intercontinental Exchange) sang a softer, steady tune—its brand value nudged up 14% to $2 B, and its “brand strength” climbed from 79.6 to 82.0. It’s proof that a steady rhythm can win the backstage applause.
Beyond the U.S. Borders
- HKEX put its boots in the arena and earned an extra 3%, pushing its brand to $2.1 B.
- TMX—yes, the Canadian sidekick—made a triumphant comeback, tingling up 11% to a $386 M rub. First time in the top ten since 2016, and we’re here for it.
- London’s LSEG took a restructuring break, rebranding as a unified front. While it’s no longer in the “Exchanges” roster alone, its composite brand was worth just under $8 B—outclassing everyone else in that list.
