=== Financial Instrument Global Identifier ===
In September 2021, Bloomberg earned regulatory approval for its [[Financial Instrument Global Identifier]] (FIGI), a 12-character alphanumerical, open standard, unique identifier for financial instruments that may be attached to common [[equities]], [[Option (finance)|options]], [[Derivative (finance)|derivatives]], [[Futures contract|futures]], [[Corporate bond|corporate bonds]], [[sovereign bonds]], [[Municipal bond|municipal bonds]], [[currencies]], and [[Mortgage-backed security|mortgage products]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-09-15 |title=After lengthy fight, Bloomberg's Figi recognized as official US data standard |url=https://www.waterstechnology.com/node/7877101 |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=WatersTechnology.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-10-01 |title=Bloomberg's FIGI: A Case of Red Light, Green Light |url=https://www.waterstechnology.com/node/7690251 |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=WatersTechnology.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bloomberg Promotes FIGI as Primary Global Security Identifier – A Team | date=September 18, 2014 |url=https://a-teaminsight.com/bloomberg-promotes-figi-as-primary-global-security-identifier/?brand=ati |access-date=2022-05-02 |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-10-04 |title=Waters Wrap: On Refinitiv and Old Rivalries (And FIGI & Data Governance) |url=https://www.waterstechnology.com/node/7692821 |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=WatersTechnology.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-12-07 |title=OMG Adopts FIGI Identifier Standard |url=https://www.waterstechnology.com/node/2437989 |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=WatersTechnology.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-02-10 |title=One view to rule them all: Buy side firms seek to unify their data |url=https://www.waterstechnology.com/node/7928511 |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=WatersTechnology.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-10-05 |title=Bloomberg's FIGIs Win Nod From US Standards Body: Now What? {{!}} FinOps |url=https://finopsinfo.com/operations/bloombergs-figis-win-nod-from-us-standards-body-now-what/,%20https://finopsinfo.com/operations/bloombergs-figis-win-nod-from-us-standards-body-now-what/ |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=finopsinfo.com |language=en-US}}</ref> This was previously known as the Bloomberg Global Identifier and was introduced in 2009. Once issued, a FIGI number is never reused. There are unique FIGIs that identify securities as well as the individual exchanges on which they trade. There are also composite FIGIs that may be used to represent unique securities across related exchanges, although unique FIGIs would be used to identify common stock on an individual exchange. The FIGI structure is defined and copyrighted by the Object Management Group. Unique FIGIs are published by Bloomberg L.P. It's a competitor to the [[CUSIP]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bailey |first=Doug |date=2022-03-25 |title=How CUSIP numbers became a Wall Street battleground |url=https://www.businessofbusiness.com/articles/curious-story-how-cusip-numbers-became-a-wall-street-battleground/ |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=www.businessofbusiness.com |language=en}}</ref>
