摘要

How good is Nasdaq's technology? Look atthe sales of the global exchange operator's Nasdaq Market Technology unit, the fact that more than 90 marketplaces around the world run on Nasdaq systems, and the impact of the Nasdaq Financial Framework, which Adena Friedman, then president and COO of Nasdaq, unveiled in May 2016. The framework is "the next-generation architecture for market technology that really carries our clients into the future, allowing seamless access to and implementation of cloud computing, advanced messaging, blockchain, and other leading-edge components," Friedman explains. CEO since January 1, when she succeeded Robert Greifeld, Friedman says the framework is a key factor in the steady stream of business for Nasdaq Market Technology, which generated $275 million, or 12 percent, of parent Nasdaq's total 2016 net revenue and reported $47 million of order intake in this year's first quarter. The framework figured in the April announcement of an extensive trading,clearing,andriskmanagementsys-tems upgrade for Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing's main derivatives market; and in an agreement, revealed in May, to supply trading technology to the new AIFC Exchange in Kazakhstan's Astana International Financial Center.
