Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., commonly known as ICE, is a global financial market infrastructure and technology company that operates exchanges, clearing houses, data services, fixed income platforms, and mortgage technology solutions. The company is best known as the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, while its wider business supports trading, clearing, listings, market data, analytics, pricing, risk management, and digital mortgage workflows.
ICE’s strength comes from its role as critical infrastructure within global financial markets. Its exchanges and clearing houses support price discovery and risk management across asset classes such as commodities, interest rates, equities, foreign exchange, and fixed income, while its data and mortgage technology businesses add recurring, technology-driven revenue streams. As financial markets become more electronic, data-intensive, and regulation-driven, ICE remains one of the most important platforms supporting trading, clearing, market transparency, and financial workflow automation.
