Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We manage, operate and provide our products and services in
three business segments: Capital Access Platforms, Financial
Technology and Market Services. See Note 1, “Organization
and Nature of Operations,” for further discussion of our
reportable segments.
Our management allocates resources, assesses performance
and manages these businesses as three separate segments. We
evaluate the performance of our segments based on several
factors, of which the primary financial measure is operating
income. Our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, who
is our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, does not review
total assets or statements of income below operating income
by segments as key performance metrics; therefore, such
information is not presented below.
The following tables present certain information regarding
our business segments for the three months ended June 30,
2026 and 2025:

For further discussion of our segments’ results, see “Segment
Operating Results,” of “Part I, Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.”
The items in the preceding table are not included in the
measurement of segment profitability reviewed by our
CODM, as we believe they do not contribute to a meaningful
evaluation of a particular segment’s ongoing operating
performance. Management does not consider these items for
the purpose of evaluating the performance of our segments or
their managers or when making decisions to allocate
resources. Therefore, we believe performance measures
excluding the below items provide management with a useful
representation of our segments’ ongoing activity in each
period. These items, which are presented in the table above,
include the following:
Revenues and expenses - divestitures: These amounts
reflect the revenues and expenses associated with our
Nordic power futures business, where we entered into an
agreement to transfer open interest in January 2025 and
completed this transfer in March 2026, and the sale of our
Solovis business in October 2025. See Note 4,
Divestitures, for further discussion of this transaction.
Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We
amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with
various acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense
can vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions
completed, rather than from our ongoing business
operations. As such, if intangible asset amortization is
included in performance measures, it is more difficult to
assess the day-to-day operating performance of the
segments, and the relative operating performance of the
segments between periods.
Merger and strategic initiatives expense: We have pursued
various strategic initiatives and completed acquisitions and
divestitures in recent years that have resulted in expenses
which would not have otherwise been incurred. These
expenses generally include integration costs, as well as
legal, due diligence and other third-party transaction costs.
The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary
significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of
the transactions.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, these
costs included amounts associated with various strategic
initiative costs. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2025, these costs primarily included amounts
associated with the transfer of open positions in our
Nordic power futures business, Adenza integration costs
and other strategic initiative costs.
Restructuring charges: See Note 19, “Restructuring
Charges,” for further discussion of the restructuring
program.
Legal and regulatory matters: For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, this includes accruals
relating to certain legal matters, which are recorded in
professional and contract services in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Gain on extinguishment of debt: This gain is recorded in
general, administrative and other expense in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income.
