Under Melamed's leadership, CME revolutionized the futures industry. It launched Eurodollar, FX, US Treasury, and equity index futures that are now some of the exchange's top products. Melamed also oversaw the launch of Globex in 1987, CME's electronic trading system.pic.twitter.com/BCQ52LZnbR

Melamed is still a part of CME today, serving as its Chairman Emeritus at the age of 89. He advises industry regulators and has written several books, including some science fiction novels! The next time you see the pits or a futures ticker, thank Leo. He helped make it happen.pic.twitter.com/odwFwPu0YE

Not only advises the regulators, but also created them. He led the board that started the NFA, the futures equivalent of FINRA
