Bullish appoints former NYSE President Cunningham as President

According to the official announcement, the cryptocurrency trading platform Bullish (BLSH), listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has appointed former NYSE President Stacey Cunningham as the company's president.

Cunningham previously served as the president of NYSE Group, being the first woman to lead the exchange group, and held the position of Chief Operating Officer, responsible for technology modernization and the integration of several exchange mergers; prior to that, she held senior positions at Nasdaq. She currently also serves on the boards of Cloudflare, the New York Stock Exchange, and Georgetown University's Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy, and was an operating partner at private equity firm Advent, as well as an advisor to Uniswap Labs.

Bullish CEO Tom Farley stated that her expertise in market structure, operational experience, and issuer relations will play a key 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 the acquisition of transfer agent Equiniti for $4.2 billion (serving nearly 3,000 issuer clients and over 20 million shareholders), with the transaction expected to be completed in January 2027; the company has also been approved to conduct tokenized securities trading in Gibraltar and has launched tokenized stock trading initiated by its own issuers.
