DMIST was formed as an outgrowth of industry conversations following high volume and volatility in February and March 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. DMIST’s ultimate goal is to encourage widespread adoption of standards in the exchange traded derivatives industry that will help make markets more efficient, resilient, and competitive for all.
