Transaction-based revenues increased 129% year-over-year to $730 million, primarily driven by cryptocurrencies revenue of $268 million, up over 300%, options revenue of $304 million, up 50%, and equities revenue of $86 million, up 132%. Net interest revenues increased 66% year-over-year to $456 million, primarily driven by growth in interest-earning assets and securities lending activity, partially offset by lower short-term interest rates. Other revenues increased 100% year-over-year to $88 million, primarily due to increased Robinhood Gold subscribers. Net income increased 271% year-over-year to $556 million. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) increased 259% year-over-year to $0.61. Total operating expenses increased 31% year-over-year to $639 million.

Financial Outlook The paragraph below provides information on our 2025 expense plan and outlook. We are not providing a 2025 outlook for total operating expenses and have not reconciled our 2025 outlook for Adjusted Operating Expenses and SBC to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, total operating expenses, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of certain items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, provision for credit losses and significant regulatory expenses which may be material and could have a significant impact on total operating expenses for 2025. Our 2025 expense plan includes growth investments in new products, features, and international expansion while also getting more efficient in our existing businesses. Our prior outlook for combined Adjusted Operating Expenses and SBC for full-year 2025 provided at Q2 2025 Earnings (July 30, 2025) was $2.15 billion to $2.25 billion. Our strong year-to-date business and revenue growth had put us on track to be around the top end of that outlook range. This included an increased employee bonus accrual, as we are currently exceeding the performance targets we set at the beginning of the year. Additionally, our stock price appreciation triggered the vesting of the 2019 CEO Market-Based RSUs, resulting in payroll taxes reflected in general and administrative expenses primarily in Q3 that were not included in our prior outlook. And we are also increasing our investments in new growth areas like Prediction Markets and Robinhood Ventures that we believe have significant potential. Taken together, we now expect our 2025 full year Adjusted Operating Expenses and SBC to be approximately $2.28 billion, which could be higher or lower depending on how the rest of the year plays out. This expense outlook does not include provision for credit losses, costs related to our pending acquisition of WonderFi, potential significant regulatory matters, or other significant expenses (such as impairments, restructuring charges, and other business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses) that may arise or accruals we may determine in the future are required, as we are unable to accurately predict the size or timing of such matters, expenses or accruals at this time. Actual results might differ materially from our outlook due to several factors, including the rate of growth in Funded Customers and our effectiveness to cross-sell products which affects variable marketing costs, the degree to which we are successful in managing credit losses and preventing fraud, and our ability to manage web-hosting expenses efficiently, among other factors. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on Adjusted Operating Expenses and SBC, including significant items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing expenses that would be adjusted out of total operating expenses (GAAP) to get to Adjusted Operating Expenses and SBC (non-GAAP) should they occur.

The growth was primarily driven by higher net transaction fees that benefitted from increased industry volume, higher market share, and higher revenue per contract (RPC). Higher non-transaction fees were primarily driven by the launch of the MIAX Sapphire electronic options exchange in August 2024 which also contributed to increased revenues. Operating income increased 56% to $51.4 million, compared to $32.9 million in the prior-year period. The growth was primarily due to higher net revenues, partially offset by higher expenses driven by share-based compensation costs. Adjusted EBITDA grew 70% to $69.1 million, compared to $40.7 million in the prior-year period. Equities Net revenue nearly doubled to $4.4 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher net transaction fees from improved but still negative pricing as liquidity payments exceeded transaction revenues. Operating loss of $4.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.0 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA of $(0.9) million, compared to $(2.5) million in the prior-year period. Futures Net revenue was $4.8 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was due to participant migrations to the MIAX Futures Onyx trading platform and lower commodity market volatility, partially offset by the elimination of expenses related to CME Globex. Operating loss was $18.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $12.8 million in the prior-year period. The change was primarily due to lower revenue and higher operating expenses driven by share-based compensation costs. Adjusted EBITDA of $(9.6) million, compared to $(8.0) million in the prior-year period. International   Net revenue was $5.5 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of The International Stock Exchange Group Limited (TISE) in June 2025. Operating income was $0.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.6 million in the prior-year period. The change was primarily due to the impact of the TISE acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million, compared to $(1.7) million in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Information Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to MIH adjusted for share-based compensation, investment gain/loss, litigation costs, change in fair value of puttable warrants issued with debt, change in fair value of puttable common stock, loss on extinguishment of debt, one time IPO payments, settlement fee, impairment charges, warrant modifications, and unrealized gain/loss on derivative assets, net of the income tax effects of these adjustments. A reconciliation of net income attributable to MIH to adjusted earnings, appears below. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to MIH adjusted for interest expense and amortization of debt discount costs, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, investment gain/loss, litigation costs, change in fair value of puttable warrants issued with debt, change in fair value of puttable common stock, loss on extinguishment of debt, one time IPO payments, settlement fee, impairment charges, gain/loss on intangible asset, warrant modifications, and unrealized gain/loss on derivative assets. A reconciliation of net income attributable to MIH to adjusted EBITDA, appears below. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted revenues less cost of revenues. Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as adjusted earnings divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding used for adjusted diluted earnings per share (which includes the impact of anti-dilutive securities on a GAAP basis). For a reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our GAAP results, see the tables below.

SIFMA Submits Recommendations To Treasury On Stablecoins Under The GENIUS Act

SIFMA and SIFMA AMG today submitted a letter in response to The Department of the Treasury advance notice of proposed rulemaking requesting comment on questions relating to the implementation of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. SIFMA supports the GENIUS Act’s creation of a new regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, which it sees as a critical step in the development of mature digital asset markets, including markets for tokenized securities and other tokenized assets. It is critical that the GENIUS Act be implemented in a manner that protects consumers and investors; mitigates potential risks to the markets and broader financial system; minimizes opportunities for regulatory arbitrage; and promotes responsible innovation, ensuring continued U.S. leadership in the digital assets ecosystem. “Treasury’s approach to stablecoin regulation will shape the foundation of the future digital financial system,” said SIFMA president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr.  “Our recommendations seek to balance innovation and financial stability by providing clear definitions, consistent oversight, and strong safeguards for investors, consumers, and markets.” SIFMA’s recommendations include the following key principles: Clear Scope, Safe Harbors, and Transition Mechanisms: Treasury should provide early regulatory clarity on the reach of Section 3 and establish limited safe harbors for offshore issuances, non-USD stablecoins used for legitimate cross-border or settlement purposes, and de minimis test transactions. Guidance should also define when an entity is “issuing in the United States” or “offering to a U.S. person,” with reasonable transition periods before enforcement. Functional, Proportionate Definitions: Definitions of “payment stablecoin,” “digital asset,” and “digital asset service provider” should be activity-based and technology-neutral. Exemptions for software developers, protocols, and self-custody should be narrowly applied to preserve true peer-to-peer and open-source innovation while capturing entities that exercise control or earn fees. Reserve and Custody Standards: SIFMA supports strong reserve and transparency standards for permitted payment stablecoin issuers (PPSIs), while allowing flexibility to hold diversified high-quality liquid assets such as Treasury money-market funds, Treasury-backed repos, and deposits at U.S. branches of foreign banks. Reserve assets should be subject to established custody and audit controls consistent with SEC frameworks. Accounting and Collateral Treatment: Treasury should work with the Financial Accounting Standards Board to classify permitted payment stablecoins as cash equivalents and work with other regulators to ensure they are considered eligible collateral for margin purposes. Equivalent treatment should extend to tokenized money-market funds and tokenized Treasury instruments. Restrictions on Non-Financial Issuers: SIFMA supports strict limits on non-financial firms issuing payment stablecoins and recommends that the Stablecoin Certification Review Committee assess systemic, governance, and contagion risks before granting exemptions. Federal-State and Cross-Border Consistency: SIFMA supports a dual federal-state pathway for PPSIs based on the principle of “same risk, same activity, same regulatory outcome.” Treasury should interpret comparability standards through a principles-based lens emphasizing prudential safeguards, consumer protection, and AML/CFT compliance, while applying the $10 billion oversight threshold on a consolidated, group-wide basis. International Alignment: SIFMA urges Treasury to apply outcomes-based comparability when assessing foreign regimes under Section 18, focusing on comparable prudential and supervisory outcomes rather than legal form. SIFMA also recommends reciprocity and interoperability standards that prevent anti-competitive practices and reinforce the dollar’s central role in global markets. Tax Clarity: Treasury and the IRS should confirm that transactions in permitted payment stablecoins are treated as cash equivalents, not property transactions, eliminating unnecessary gain/loss recognition and facilitating widespread use in payments and settlement. Implementation Priorities: Treasury should coordinate with banking regulators to define permissible bank activities in digital-asset markets and provide clear parameters for staking by regulated financial institutions—both critical for the secure growth of tokenized financial infrastructure. The full letter is available here.

Canadian Securities Administrators Encourages Open Dialogue Amid Trend Toward Hybrid And Self-Directed Investing

Montreal - In recognition of Financial Literacy Month’s theme “Talk Money”, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) urges Canadians to speak with family members, friends and, when possible, advisors about their financial plans and to do more research. Having open conversations about money and accessing credible resources can increase investors’ financial literacy, help enable them to make good decisions for their financial future, and help them protect themselves and their loved ones from fraud. New CSA research on hybrid investors indicates that those who were less likely to talk with an advisor about their investments when developing a financial plan were more inclined to engage in higher-risk, speculative behaviour, like frequent trading and investing in high-risk alternative investments, including crypto assets and options. “As Canadians take a more active role in managing their investments, it is essential they use available tools, knowledge and resources to help them make informed decisions,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “Financial Literacy Month is an opportunity to empower investors with the knowledge to participate in Canada’s capital markets, and that starts with candid conversations around their risk tolerance, financial goals and their sources of information.” Whether working with a financial advisor, investing independently or a blend of both, the CSA encourages Canadians to consider the following: Check before investing. Before investing, investors should check if the online platform or financial institution they are interested in working with is registered by visiting aretheyregistered.ca. Use research and tools effectively. Securities regulators have a variety of investor tools that can guide investors through investing basics, like questions you should ask before working with an advisor and how to understand the different types of investments. Understand your risk tolerance. Knowing how much risk you’re willing to take is essential to building a sound investment strategy. Every investment carries some level of risk—higher potential returns typically come with higher risk. There is no such thing as a high-return, risk-free investment. Carefully evaluate each opportunity and ensure you fully understand the investment, the associated risks and how it fits within your financial plan. Recognize red flags of fraud. Look for any of these red flags when investing. If you spot a red flag, exercise caution before making a decision. The investment may be a scam, or the person or firm offering it may not be registered to do so. Immediately report suspicious activity to your local securities regulator. Seek qualified professionals when possible. If you want assistance with building a comprehensive financial plan or reviewing your existing plan, speaking with a registered financial advisor or a certified financial planner can help you plan effectively and invest suitably. The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, coordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets. For investor inquiries, please contact your local securities regulator.

The EBA Publishes Its Final Guidelines On Environmental Scenario Analysis

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final Guidelines on environmental scenario analysis, which complement the EBA Guidelines on the management of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks by specifying supervisory expectations regarding how institutions should conduct environmental scenario analysis. The Guidelines aim to strengthen institutions’ ability to use forward-looking approaches to the assessment and management of environmental risks. The Guidelines are built around two complementary pillars: integration of environmental risks into institutions’ existing stress-testing frameworks, enabling banks to assess the short-term financial impacts of environmental risks and ensure that capital and liquidity levels remain adequate; and resilience analysis, looking further ahead to evaluate the medium- to long-term implications of environmental risks and opportunities for banks’ business models, strategies, and risk profiles. Together, these two elements will help institutions to embed environmental risk considerations more effectively into their overall risk management and strategic planning processes. They also provide a common reference point to support consistent, forward-looking management of environmental risks across the EU banking sector. The Guidelines will apply from 1 January 2027. Legal basis and background The Guidelines, like the Guidelines on the management of ESG risks, are based on Article 87(a)5 of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD6). They also fulfil Article 177 (2a) of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR3). The Guidelines on environmental scenario analysis form part of the EBA’s roadmap on sustainable finance for the integration of ESG risks into the prudential framework and fit within the broader roadmap on the implementation of the EU banking package, Documents Guidelines on environmental scenario analysis (958.04 KB - PDF) Related content GuidelinesFinal and awaiting translation into the EU official languages Guidelines on ESG scenario analysis Topic Sustainable finance

NGX Rallies 8% In October As Earnings, Policy Reforms Fuel Confidence

Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) closed October 2025 on a bullish note, gaining 8 per cent and extending the upward momentum that has defined much of the year’s trading.The NGX All-Share Index rose from 142,713.1 points at the start of the month to 154,126.4 points at the close, with more than 12 billion shares exchanged. The advance reflects growing investor confidence in Nigeria’s corporate earnings outlook, alongside sustained fiscal and monetary policy reforms aimed at stabilising growth.October ranked as the second-best performing month of the year, behind July’s 16.57 per cent surge. The market has returned 49.74 per cent year-to-date, with the second half alone contributing 28.46 per cent. Except for a modest 1.99 per cent pullback in March, every other month in 2025 has ended in positive territory, demonstrating the market’s resilience amid shifting global and domestic dynamics.Analysts attribute the rally to upbeat third-quarter earnings, renewed foreign portfolio inflows, and policy reforms that have strengthened liquidity and investor sentiment.Commenting on the performance, Temi Popoola, GMD/CEO of Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), stated, “The consistent market performance we are witnessing reflects a renewed sense of confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction. The combination of strong corporate earnings, improving liquidity conditions, and credible policy actions has provided a more predictable environment for investors. At NGX Group, we remain focused on deepening the ecosystem’s resilience and positioning our market as a platform for sustainable long-term growth.”The market's advance was broad-based, with most sectors closing in positive territory. The Industrial Goods sector was the standout performer, soaring 17.5% to 5,955.8 points. Heavyweights like Dangote Cement (+25.69%), BUA Cement (+12.5%), and Lafarge Africa (+11.91%) led the charge.The Oil & Gas index recorded its strongest monthly gain of the year, rising 15.45%. The rally was fueled by firm crude oil prices and robust company earnings, with Aradel Holdings (+27.15%) and Seplat Energy (+10%) as key drivers. Meanwhile, the Consumer Goods sector extended its winning streak to a seventh consecutive month, advancing 4.85%. BUA Foods, the bourse's largest listed company, rose 9.97%, while PZ Cussons Nigeria (+20.29%) and Vitafoam Nigeria (+17.79%) also posted significant gains.The Insurance index climbed 3.37%, supported by strong performances from Sovereign Trust Insurance (+30%) and AIICO Insurance (+11.71%). In a contrasting move, the Banking Index was the sole laggard, dipping 3.15% as sell-offs in major tier-one lenders outweighed gains from others like Wema Bank (+20.29%).As the market looks ahead, Jude Chiemeka, CEO of Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), noted, “The October rally highlights the depth of investor engagement across sectors. Our priority remains to enhance market efficiency and ensure the Exchange remains a credible reflection of Nigeria’s economic resilience.”With two months left in the year, market watchers are now focusing on corporate guidance and macroeconomic stability to gauge if the positive momentum can be sustained into 2026.

UK Financial Conduct Authority: Motor Finance Compensation Scheme Consultation Progress And Timing

We’ve moved at pace since the Supreme Court judgmentLink is external  in August 2025, which, along with a previous High Court judgmentLink is external, confirmed that motor finance lenders have liabilities to their customers.   On 7 October 2025 we began consulting on an industry-wide compensation scheme as the most efficient way to address the liabilities for those motor finance customers treated unfairly between 2007 and 2024 and to provide certainty for all affected. We’ve been undertaking extensive engagement with consumer groups, lenders, investors, motor manufacturers, trade bodies and professional representatives. We’re grateful for the feedback already received and the speed with which many parties are working to engage constructively with us.   As well as feedback on the methodology for calculating redress, issues raised so far include the time period for the scheme; the rate of compensatory interest; how independent mechanisms will ensure confidence (including the role of the Financial Ombudsman Service and ideas for alternative approaches); how smaller firms or those with a low number of agreements eligible for redress can operate the scheme in a cost-effective way; how to prevent fraud; and what the relationship between motor manufacturers and their captive lenders means for commercial ties, particularly in relation to lending for the purchase of new cars. It's important we receive as much evidence as possible on specific concerns through the consultation as well as alternative suggestions if respondents don’t agree with our proposals.  We’ll consider all the evidence and ideas received before taking final decisions. We’ve been transparent throughout. For example, 11 lenders, which were part of our investigation into the historic use of discretionary commission arrangements have had data since 16 August 2024 that showed their disclosure rates. At the same time, we’ve heard feedback - from lenders and some consumer and dealer representatives - that analysis of the extensive market wide data will take time, as will ensuring everything is in place so any scheme runs smoothly. We’re therefore extending the consultation deadline until 5pm on 12 December. We continue to welcome and encourage responses before then, including on those consultation questions that may take respondents less time to answer. In parallel, we’ll continue our extensive engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, including once the consultation has closed. We still expect to publish final rules in early 2026. That will now be either February or March. Some complaints have been paused since January 2024. We have been consulting on extending this pause beyond 4 December. That consultation is now closed and we’re considering responses. We are clear, however, that complaints cannot be paused indefinitely. It is therefore important, in particular for lenders, to maintain the pace so we can draw a line under this issue and bring certainty to their customers, the market and investors. This will ensure a trusted motor finance sector can continue to serve millions of families every year. Further information Our consultation on motor finance consumer redress scheme. Information for consumers on motor finance. Information for firms on motor finance complaints.

ACER: More Flexibility And Faster EU Electricity Market Integration Needed To Shield Consumers From Price Volatility And Support The Clean Energy Transition

ACER’s 2025 electricity monitoring report reviews progress in integrating EU electricity markets. It examines forward, day-ahead, intraday and balancing markets, and identifies where rules and projects are delayed. This year’s edition also highlights weather-driven price volatility, which occurs when unusually low renewable generation coincides with higher-than-normal demand due to exceptional weather conditions. What trends did ACER find in 2024? EU market integration brings value and helps mitigate high electricity prices. Price volatility shows that more flexibility is needed. Long-term markets remain illiquid, limiting investment signals. Cross-border integration reduces costs, but project delays persist. Balancing integration generated €1.6 billion in welfare gains. Forward markets lack depth; Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are growing but vary widely in design. Day-ahead integration is consolidating and intraday markets are evolving. What are ACER’s recommendations? ACER points to several priorities that are key to resilience: Reinforcing flexibility by investing in demand response, storage and backup generation. Accelerating delivery of delayed cross-border projects through timely completion of interconnectors and adoption of flow-based capacity allocation in intraday markets. Broadening transmission system operators' (TSOs') participation in balancing platforms to reduce costs and volatility and ensure more efficient system balancing. Strengthening forward markets with more active long-term trading and well-designed PPAs and Contracts for Difference (CfDs). Moving to flow-based allocation in the intraday timeframe to ensure efficient capacity use and reduce congestion-related costs. Enhancing monitoring and enforcement to ensure rules are applied consistently and consumers benefit. Read more.

SET Market Report For October 2025

The Thai stock market extended gains for second consecutive month in October 2025, buoyed by multiple catalysts including expectations of government stimulus measures targeting domestic consumption and tourism, better-than-expected banking sector earnings, stronger-than-estimated export figures and tourist arrivals, and upward revisions to listed companies' net profit forecasts for 2025. Driven by these favorable conditions, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose 2.8 percent from the previous month to close at 1,309.50 points at the end of October. The upward momentum gained additional support in late October as U.S.-China trade tensions eased following the APEC meeting in South Korea and the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to trim interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75-4.00 percent in a bid to buffer against economic risks. However, analysts maintained a cautious note on long-term global economic prospects, citing uncertainties around shifting trade and monetary policies, technology-related risks and inflated AI stock valuations, and elevated public debt levels. SET Senior Executive Vice President Soraphol Tulayasathien noted that government initiatives targeting at directly benefit citizens had delivered quick wins with measurable economic impact, effectively boosting broad-based incomes nationwide. In addition, last month’s export and tourism performance exceeded analysts’ projections, prompting upward revisions to profit estimates for Thai listed companies across various industries. Historical trading patterns also suggest that net selling by Long-Term Equity Funds (LTF) unit holders typically eases during each year’s final two months while tax-saving Thailand ESG Funds (ThaiESG) attract stronger inflows. Key highlights for October 2025 At the end of October 2025, the SET Index increased 2.8 percent MoM to close at 1,309.50 points, narrowing the YTD decrease to 6.5 percent. Compared to the end of 2024, industry groups that outperformed the SET Index were Technology and Financials. SET’s and Market for Alternative Investment (mai)’s average daily trading value dropped 27.9 percent YoY to THB 39.47 billion (approx. USD 1.22 billion), with a YTD average daily trading value of THB 42.66 billion. Foreign investors sold a net THB 4.50 billion, with THB 100.74 billion in net selling for the January-October period of 2025. Foreign investors continued to dominate trading activity, accounting for 51.81 percent of total trading value, followed by local individuals at 31.80 percent, local institutional investors at 9.77 percent, and proprietary trading at 6.62 percent. There were three newly listed companies on SET, namely Masstec Link pcl (MASTEC), Atlas Energy pcl (ATLAS), and Onsen Retreat and Spa Group pcl (ONSENS), and two newly listed companies on mai, namely Indigy pcl (IDG) and 88(Thailand) pcl (88TH). SET’s forward P/E ratio at the end of October 2025 was 12.2 times, below the Asian stock markets’ average of 14.6 times. The historical P/E ratio stood at 16.7 times, lower than the Asian stock markets’ average of 17.0 times. Dividend yield ratio at the end of October 2025 was 3.76 percent, higher than the Asian stock markets’ average of 2.96 percent. Derivatives Market At the end of October 2025, Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX)’s daily trading volume averaged 406,504 contracts, down 11.1 percent from the previous month largely due to the lower trading volume of Single Stock Futures and SET50 Index Futures. The YTD average daily trading volume in 2025 was 422,081 contracts, down 12.8 percent year-on-year mainly due to the decline in trading volume of Single Stock Futures and SET50 Index Futures.

With AWS’s Support, JPXI Revs Up Efforts To Turn JPX Into A "Global, Comprehensive Finance And Information Platform"

With the support of Amazon Web Services (AWS), JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI) is working to achieve the goal to turn Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) into a "global, comprehensive finance and information platform," which was set out in JPX’s Medium-Term Management Plan. As part of this effort, JPXI is pleased to announce the progress that has been made to enhance the international appeal and competitiveness of Japan’s financial instruments markets. 1. Further Improving the Stability and Resilience of the Market’s Infrastructure JPXI has built J-WS, which is JPX's common infrastructure platform, on AWS. This has allowed it to stably operate the services of the JPX Group’s data/digital businesses. By utilizing AWS's extensive and advanced cloud technologies and know-how, JPXI has been able to further improve the quality of its operations and enhance their functionality.In light of these accomplishments, JPXI has decided to migrate the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) to J-WS. TDnet quickly, accurately, and fairly transmits material corporate information to the market and investors. Since timely disclosure plays a fundamental role in maintaining investor confidence and the fairness of the stock market, TDnet is considered to be a semi-essential system, next in importance after the trading and clearing systems. By migrating the mission-critical TDnet system to J-WS, JPXI aims to improve the system’s stability and resilience and to strengthen cybersecurity measures.The migration of TDnet will result in a multi-layered redundant configuration that uses not only JPX's existing Business Continuity Plan (BCP) environment but also AWS’s Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region and its Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. This will significantly enhance TDnet’s resilience against wide-area disasters. 2. Assisting Efforts to Bolster, Improve, and Streamline JPX’s Unwavering Mission to Support Corporate Disclosures JPXI’s plan for upgrading TDnet involves migrating TDnet’s infrastructure to J-WS. The migration will improve TDnet’s performance and its capacity to process disclosure materials. The plan also involves improving TDnet’s functionality. To implement the planned upgrades, JPXI is collaborating with the developer Fujitsu Limited, which is leveraging its technical expertise as well as the knowledge and experience it has gained from its past efforts at TDnet’s development.As investors’ needs diversify, listed companies are expected to further enhance their disclosure offerings, and they face issues with an increased workload as a result. To address this, JPXI is in the process of implementing a new service with features that utilize AWS's generative AI to assist in the preparation of disclosure materials. Furthermore, JPXI plans to provide a dedicated platform that directly connects JPX’s exchanges and listed companies so that they can manage information securely and so that JPX’s exchanges can offer listed companies advanced support. In the future, JPXI aims to link the various applications that it has developed on J-WS in order to create an integrated environment where disclosure materials can be seamlessly prepared and distributed.Furthermore, JPXI plans to improve the transmission speed and machine readability of disclosure data and to share it with external platforms through APIs and other means. This will accelerate the formation of an ecosystem where financial institutions, information vendors, and startups can use a common data infrastructure to collaborate in creating new value-added services. 3. Timely Provision of Required Services In order to respond to a rapidly changing market environment and diversifying customer needs, JPXI is developing the infrastructure to provide innovative financial services in a timely manner and to make continual refinements possible.With the support of the AWS engineering team, including AWS Prototyping (an in-house development support service) and AWS Professional Services, JPXI has made various efforts to develop digital talent within the company and to beef up its in-house development system. This has allowed a development culture that leads to new value creation to steadily take root there.As a result of these efforts, JPXI has been able to rapidly develop and launch key projects, such as the Carbon Credit Market System, which was developed in collaboration with Hitachi, Ltd., and JPX's integrated data services platform J-LAKE, which was developed primarily by JPXI’s in-house engineering team.Going forward, JPXI will continue to quickly and flexibly provide services that meet customer expectations and to contribute to the sustainable development of financial instruments markets. 4. Clearly Conveying the Right Information to the Right People JPXI is utilizing AWS’s digital technologies and data analytics services to improve the information dissemination capabilities of financial instruments markets.It is critical for JPX’s exchanges to clearly convey information about listed companies and the markets. Currently, more than 3,900 companies are listed on JPX’s exchanges, and those companies release over 1 million pages of disclosure materials each year. Those materials contain a wide range of information that includes not only financial but also non-financial and ESG/sustainability-related information.To allow investors and other stakeholders to effectively use such a vast amount of information as well as other types of data, JPXI has developed J-LAKE. Built on J-WS, J-LAKE centrally manages the market data and alternative data in JPX’s possession and enables sophisticated analysis to be conducted through the use of AI, machine learning, and generative AI.Specifically, JPXI began providing a new feature on JPxData Portal, which is JPX’s securities data platform. The feature combines J-LAKE and generative AI, and it enables users to efficiently search for the disclosure materials that they need and to discover new investment opportunities.Going forward, JPXI will proactively utilize the latest digital technologies to further improve JPxData Portal’s functionality so that it can provide market participants with ever more useful information. 5. Future Outlook JPXI has worked to improve the JPX Group's data/digital businesses under a strong cooperative framework with AWS. Going forward, it will further develop its relationship with AWS and explore the long-term potential for using the cloud in JPX's critical functions. It will also continue to search for the best way to realize JPX’s goal of turning into a "global, comprehensive finance and information platform" and to take up the challenge to create new value. Comment from Futagi Satoshi, President & CEO, JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. In its long-term vision “Target 2030,” JPX expressed its intention to turn into a "global, comprehensive finance and information platform," and it has been working to enhance the appeal of Japan's financial and capital markets as a whole. JPXI, whose role within the JPX Group is to spearhead the group’s next-generation data/digital businesses, has collaborated with AWS to build several new systems to support these businesses.As a result, the ecosystem that JPX has developed using AWS’s solutions has been steadily expanding. Going forward, JPXI will continue to enlist the support of its powerful partner AWS to further rev up efforts to turn JPX into a "global, comprehensive finance and information platform." Comment from Scott Mullins, Managing Director, Worldwide Financial Services, Amazon Web Services (AWS) By migrating its mission-critical TDnet system to AWS and using our cloud infrastructure across Tokyo and Osaka regions, JPX is improving resilience and stability while expanding access to Japan's financial markets. AWS's experience supporting financial institutions, combined with its advanced capabilities in Generative AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing, enables JPX to deliver greater innovation through their data and digital initiatives. Together, we're working to make Japan's capital markets more efficient and transparent.
