Breakingviews - Nasdaq futureproofs itself, but at 2021 pricesNasdaq is catapulting itself into the future - but paying yesterday’s high prices to get there. The U.S. exchange operator is buying Adenza, a software firm that serves banks and brokers, for $10.5 billion from private equity group Thoma Bravo.
