In 1992, The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) joined with the London Stock Exchange (LSE) forming the first intercontinental linkage of securities markets.

LSE membership was increasingly a corporate one even before individual membership was finally ended on April 1, 1992.

This marked a significant development in global financial markets, allowing for improved cross-border trading and increasing the reach of both exchanges. The International Stock Exchange in London is now known as the London Stock Exchange.
