IEX Story

IEX’s co-founders Brad Katsuyama, Ronan Ryan, Rob Park and John Schwall meet at Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), where they shared a vision for a more transparent system that better protected investors.
IEX is founded, and begins work on its Alternative Trading System (ATS) which debuts one year later.

IEX’s origin story is chronicled in Michael Lewis’s New York Times Best Seller “Flash Boys.”
The SEC approves IEX’s application as an exchange. IEX Exchange is born with support from some of the world’s largest financial institutions, including Capital Group, Franklin Templeton Investments, OppenheimerFunds, MassMutual Ventures, Brandes Investment Partners, Betterment, and Norges Bank.
IEX launches IEX Cloud, and later, its product Apperate, to help developers get to market faster by making it easier to access and build apps with financial data.
IEX creates swXtch.io, game-changing cloud software that enables previously blocked workloads to move to the cloud – with no code changes.
IEX enters into Web3 with the launch of Dispatch, a distributed commerce solution for Web2 and Web3 channels that leverages on-chain technology.
