Meet the minds building smarter markets

Abaxx Commodity Futures Exchange and Clearinghouse was founded by industry leaders from Goldman Sachs, NYMEX, CME, and SGX, market practitioners who have played key roles in developing and operating some of the world's most established exchanges and clearinghouses.

That experience now informs our work at Abaxx: building the benchmark futures contracts for the next decade of global trade, the Henry Hubs and TTFs, the WTIs and Brents, across the globalized natural gas market and energy transition commodities.

With more than 120 years of combined leadership experience and a track record that includes the launch of 10 exchange and clearing platforms, our team brings the operational depth and regulatory fluency needed to deliver smarter market infrastructure — purpose-built to establish the next generation of global commodity benchmarks.
