On October 20, 2025, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) announced that its global futures and options markets reached a record open interest of 107.6 million contracts, up 16 % year‑over‑year. The record was driven by heightened activity in commodities, energy, oil, Brent, and TTF futures across ICE’s London, New York, and Amsterdam venues.
The announcement, made on October 23, 2025, highlights the depth and liquidity of ICE’s trading platforms. Higher open interest indicates greater market participation and tighter bid‑ask spreads, which can improve trading efficiency for participants and strengthen ICE’s competitive position against rivals such as CME Group and Deutsche Börse.
For investors, the record open interest reflects sustained demand for ICE’s market infrastructure and may support future revenue growth from transaction fees and data services. The milestone also underscores the company’s ability to attract and retain liquidity across its diversified asset classes, reinforcing its all‑weather business model.
