The e-commerce giant eBay more closely resembles the New York Stock Exchange than it does Amazon, at least in the eyes of Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher. He suggested instead that eBay "be viewed as a 25-year-old cash market for collectible goods, which looks a lot more like the New York Stock Exchange than Amazon." The comments came as Sprecher sought to clarify ICE's discussions with eBay. ICE operates exchanges for commodity and financial markets, including the New York Stock Exchange. Sprecher acknowledged that pressure but stopped short of asserting that it prevented talks between ICE and eBay.

eBay in January discontinued its shuttle service, which transported employees from around the San Francisco Bay Area to its offices. The service wasn't being used by enough employees to justify the cost, according to a person close to the company. The majority of eBay's shuttle service operated between San Francisco (the North Bay) and San Jose (the South Bay), where the company already has two offices respectively, this person said. Silicon Valley tech companies including Facebook, Google and Apple contract shuttle services for employees who commute from various areas around San Francisco Bay Area's sprawling region. Tech workers often live far outside of San Francisco and Silicon Valley in search of lower housing prices.

Shares of eBay surged 8.7% on Tuesday after The Wall Street Journal reported that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has made a bid to acquire eBay's marketplace business.

The deal could value eBay at roughly $30 billion, according to the publication. An eBay spokesperson told CNBC in a statement: "The eBay Board is aligned and open to all value-enhancing alternatives. ICE has approached eBay about owning the company's online marketplace, not its classifieds business, the Journal reported.

Many of those families were released into the U.S. while their asylum requests wind through the courts a practice President Donald Trump has derided as "catch-and-release."

BlackRock and NYSE owner ICE are looking to improve efficiency in the ETF market with their new ETF Hub as the industry continues to boom. The hub's key features, according to the ICE ETF Hub website, include processes to streamline ETF order entries, consolidate issuer data and provide the analytic tools needed while also facilitating fixed income ETF trading. The latter has been a focus of BlackRock's Samara Cohen, co-head of iShares Markets and Investments at Blackrock, given the surge in bond ETF trading. In fact, over half of net ETF inflows have gone to bond ETFs in 2019. This is particularly relevant given that bond ETF trading, unlike for many ETF groups, has yet to be electronified, another goal Cohen has for the Hub.

That is the central goal behind the Intercontinental Exchange's recently rolled-out "Hub" for exchange-traded funds, a joint effort by the New York Stock Exchange parent and ETF issuers like BlackRock meant to streamline the often complex, decentralized process of bringing ETFs to market, ICE President Ben Jackson tells CNBC's "ETF Edge." The ICE ETF Hub, which launched in October, is an attempt to simplify the ETF issuing process for these industry players by offering what it calls key "efficiencies" such as messaging, order management and analytics. "There's a whole negotiation process between the issuers and the banks around, 'What is going to be an acceptable sample for that bank to trade of securities in lieu for a share of the ETF?' So, what we're doing is really lubricating that process," Jackson said. Given that performance during a holiday week, Jackson anticipated even more engagement in the new year as ICE builds out the hub's capabilities.
