Morgan Stanley stake in Eris Exchange spotlights market shift

The bank becomes Eris' latest partner ahead of an expected increase in standardised derivatives trading

Morgan Stanley said it will invest in Eris Exchange, becoming the latest heavyweight trading partner to bet on the exchange ahead of an expected increase in standardised derivatives trading.

Under the 2010 Dodd-Frank overhaul law, a large chunk of the $639 trillion market for over the counter derivatives will be brought into the open and routed through central clearing houses, resulting in swaps being traded more like futures.
