Today I came across some heavyweight news: former NYSE President Stacey Cunningham is joining crypto trading platform Bullish (NYSE ticker: BLSH) as president. The company just announced it.
Cunningham was the first woman to lead the NYSE Group, serving from 2018 to 2022. She also held executive roles at Nasdaq and currently serves on the boards of Cloudflare and the NYSE, and has advised Uniswap Labs. In an interesting twist, Bullish’s current CEO, Tom Farley, also served as NYSE president—so a regulated crypto platform now has two former NYSE leaders in its senior ranks.
In May this year, Bullish announced its $4.2 billion acquisition of transfer agent Equiniti, which serves nearly 3,000 issuers and more than 20 million shareholders. The deal is expected to close in January 2027. Bullish has also secured a license to trade tokenized securities in Gibraltar and launched tokenized stocks sponsored by their issuers. With an NYSE veteran at the helm, TradFi and on-chain securities have moved a step closer.
