Bullish Appoints Former NYSE President Cunningham as President

TechFlow reported on November 9 that, according to a Bullish announcement, Bullish (BLSH), a crypto trading platform listed on the NYSE, announced the appointment of former NYSE President Stacey Cunningham as President of the company. Cunningham previously served as President of NYSE Group, was the first woman to lead the exchange group, and served as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing technology modernization and the integration of multiple exchange acquisitions; she previously held senior roles at Nasdaq. She currently serves as a director at Cloudflare, the NYSE, and the Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy at Georgetown University, previously served as an operating partner at private equity firm Advent, and serves as an advisor to Uniswap Labs. Bullish CEO Tom Farley said that her expertise in market structure, operational experience, and issuer relationships will play a central role in the company's efforts to combine traditional financial infrastructure with blockchain technology. Bullish is advancing its tokenized securities strategy: in May 2026, it announced a $4.2 billion acquisition of transfer agent Equiniti (serving nearly 3,000 issuer clients and more than 20 million shareholders), with the transaction expected to close in January 2027; the company has received approval in Gibraltar to conduct tokenized securities trading and has launched tokenized stock trading initiated by its own issuers.
