When the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) unveiled an $8 billion merger in October, it wasn't just rival exchanges that were nervous. The prospect of the world's biggest futures exchange - valued at around $25 billion - also did not go unnoticed in the over-the-counter derivatives market.
