TMX Group, the operator of Canadian stock exchanges, is set to acquire VettaFi, a major player in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) industry. The deal, valued at $1.03 billion, will see TMX Group acquire the remaining 78% of VettaFi’s common units. This acquisition will enhance TMX Group’s information business and provide new capabilities in the ETF space.

Notably, VettaFi also lists blockchain and cryptocurrency-themed ETFs, such as the VanEck Digital Transformation ETF, which has seen significant growth this year.
The CEO of TMX Group, John McKenzie, expressed excitement about the acquisition, highlighting the successful collaboration between the two companies in the past. The acquisition of VettaFi is expected to bring together a powerful combination of expertise and a shared commitment to client success.
This development reflects TMX Group’s strategic move to expand its presence in the ETF industry and capitalize on the growing popularity of blockchain and cryptocurrency-related investments.
