ICE will continue to maintain and develop London-based Trayport's energy and commodities trading platform.

The sale of Trayport was first mooted by BGC in April this year after the firm completed its acquisition of GFI Group in February.

"We will continue to invest in the Trayport platform, maintaining and enhancing its current model to serve the European OTC markets by facilitating the interaction of brokers, utilities and end-users, clearing houses, and other market participants," says, Jeffrey Sprecher, chairman and CEO of ICE. "As the European energy markets evolve, we look forward to supporting and developing Trayport's technology to assist the management of price risks in a liquid, broker-centric marketplace."
