Market Cap Soars by $400 Billion... U.S. Brokerage Firm Acquires AI Analytics Company

On the Nasdaq, BGC Group Inc. (BGC) closed the most recent trading day at $10.59, up 6.11%, with approximately 1.9 million shares changing hands. That gain lifted its market capitalization by about $250 million (roughly ₩380 billion at $1 = ₩1,500), bringing total market value to around $3.86 billion (about ₩5.8 trillion).

In October 2025, BGC Group strengthened its AI-driven analytical capabilities in the interest-rate and FX markets by acquiring MacroHive, a macro-market analysis firm. Earlier, it had expanded its energy, commodities and shipping (ECS) business through successive acquisitions of OTC Global Holdings and Sage Energy Partners.

Headquartered in New York, BGC Group is a global brokerage and fintech company. In 2023, it reorganized from BGC Partners into a holding-company structure and now offers trade brokerage as well as data and fintech services across wholesale bond, FX, energy and commodity markets. It is also rolling out the FMX futures exchange, positioning itself to compete with CME in the U.S. Treasury and interest-rate futures arena.
