Josh Matthews, head of EBS Market at CME Group is the new treasurer, and Teri Knapp, global head of sell side sales for Global Link FX, continues as secretary.

Newly-elected board members for terms through 2028 are Mike Margolis, VP, associate general counsel, Cboe; Stuart Parkins, EMEA buyside head of Global Link FX product sales; and Taylor Haberstock, global trader, Morgan Stanley Investment Management. They will work with the leadership team, of whom Hoffman Matthews and Haver were also elected for a new term, as well as with continuing board members, Richard Turner, senior trader, Insight Investment; John Marchese, head of FX sales & partnerships, Portware; and Oleg Shevelenko, FXGO, head of pricing & execution, Bloomberg.

Together, FXPA says the officers and board will steer the association’s agenda in 2026, building on its role as a trusted industry voice for professional FX market participants.

“In a period of evolving market structure and regulatory change, FXPA remains focused on representing the collective interests of institutional FX participants,” says Hoffman. “Our priorities for 2026 include strengthening dialogue with policymakers, advancing practical guidance for market participants, and expanding working groups to address emerging areas such as digital assets, settlement innovation, and stablecoins.”

FXPA enters 2026 following a year of active engagement across regulatory outreach, member education, and industry collaboration. Looking ahead, the association says it plans to expand its buy side and digital assets working groups, increase direct engagement with US and international regulators, and continue providing actionable insights on market structure, trading platforms, and operational best practices.

“FXPA’s strength comes from its diverse membership and practitioner-led approach,” says Haver. “We’re committed to ensuring members have a forum to share perspectives, shape policy discussions, and collaborate on the real issues facing institutional FX markets.”
