The Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) offers futures contracts on short-term yen-denominated interest rates and yen-based forex cross rates. It also offers options on three-month euroyen futures. It offers remote membership access through GL Trade.[1]

The exchange was established in April of 1989 under the Financial Futures Trading Law of Japan.[2] Because the Financial Futures Trading Law was abolished and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law was enforced in September 2007, TFX transformed from a financial futures exchange into a more comprehensive financial exchange that handles any type of financial products.[3]

In June of 2008, total trading volume at the exchange was 6,508,087, decreasing 22.7 percent in comparison to that of the prior year comparable month, and increasing 22.9 percent in comparison to that of the prior month. Average daily trading volume was 309,909.[4]
