Deutsche Börse Group previously held an interest of around 32 per cent in Direct Edge.

It remanded the case to the district court to determine how much of the Commission’s conflict minerals rule is therefore unconstitutional. We believe that the entirety of the rule should be stayed, and no further regulatory obligations should be imposed, pending the outcome of this litigation. Indeed, a stay should have been granted when the litigation commenced in 2012.
