The NYBOT boomed under Farley's leadership in part because of his decision to shut down their physical trading floor & go all-electronic. When ICE bought the NYSE in 2012, Farley was tapped to be one of its youngest Presidents at the age of 38.https://ir.theice.com/press/news-details/2014/ICE-Announces-CEO-Duncan-L-Niederauer-to-Retire-from-NYSE-Remain-President-of-ICE-through-August-2014-Thomas-L-Farley-Current-COO-Named-As-NYSE-Successor/default.aspx …

In 2018 Farley left the NYSE to start a SPAC, nearly a year before the official SPAC boom began. Far Point Acquisition Corp, backed by Dan Loeb's Third Point, bought payments company Global Blue for $2.6 billion in Jan 2020:https://www.wsj.com/articles/far-point-acquisition-nears-deal-to-buy-global-blue-from-silver-lake-11579170605 …

After the Global Blue deal finally closed Farley started another SPAC, this time Far Peak in November 2020. THIS is the company that's buying Bullish for $9 billion. Farley is expected to stay on as CEO, bringing exchange experience to the startup crypto firm.
