The Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT), was an American commodity futures and options exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Specializing in the hard-red winter wheat contract, it was located at 4800 Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
On October 17, 2012, CME Group announced it would acquire the exchange for $126 million in cash.[1] Under the terms, the Kansas City trading floor remained open for at least six months.[2] KCBT market participants were to advise CME for at least three years.[2] The trading floor was consolidated with the Chicago operations in June 2013 and ceased operation in Chicago on July 2, 2015.[3]
