Sioux City Grain Exchange

The Winnipeg Commodity Exchange (WCE), founded in 1887, was Canada's primary agricultural futures exchange, serving as the world's leading market for canola futures and other Canadian crops including oats, flaxseed, and domestic feed wheat. In 2007, WCE was acquired by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and renamed ICE Futures Canada in 2008. Canola futures, the exchange's flagship contract, continue to be one of the most actively traded agricultural derivatives globally under ICE.

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) was North America's first and only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas emission reduction and trading system. Founded in 2003 by economist Richard Sandor, CCX allowed member companies to make binding commitments to reduce carbon emissions and trade Carbon Financial Instruments (CFIs). Acquired by ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) in 2010, CCX ceased operations the same year after voluntary carbon credit prices collapsed following the failure of US cap-and-trade legislation.

The Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX), founded in 1881, is the United States' primary futures market for Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSWW) — the high-protein wheat used in premium breads and noodles. MGEX also provides agricultural cash commodity trading and clearing services. Acquired by Miami International Holdings (MIAX) in 2020, MGEX continues to serve as an essential price-discovery and risk management platform for Spring Wheat, a crop critical to North American and global food production.
