ICE Chat is an instant messaging (IM) platform for traders and brokers in the commodity and equity derivatives market.
In February 2008, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) acquired YellowJacket Software Inc., a privately held financial technology firm. ICE changed the name to ICE Chat in July 2012.[1] It offers trading communications, and clearing services for markets in natural gas, power, crude oil, refined petroleum products and weather.[2] The terms of the ICE transaction were not disclosed. ICE said the acquisition was not expected to be material to ICE's operating results during the first half of 2008.
History[edit]
ICE Chat was formed in 2002 by YellowJacket President and CEO Jacob Pechenik and YellowJacket Chief Technology Officer Greg Campbell.
