> Cunningham brings more than 30 years of capital-markets experience as Bullish advances a strategy linking traditional market infrastructure with blockchain technology.

Bullish named Stacey Cunningham president, bringing a former NYSE Group leader with more than 30 years in capital markets into its executive ranks as it advances a blockchain strategy.

Cunningham led NYSE Group from 2018 to 2021 and was the first woman to lead it. She previously served as the group's chief operating officer, held senior roles at Nasdaq and advised Uniswap Labs. The appointment comes as Bullish advances its strategy to connect traditional capital-markets infrastructure with blockchain technology.

Bullish agreed in May 2026 to acquire Equiniti, a global stock transfer agent, for $4.2 billion. The deal is expected to close in January 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals.
