Q1 Performance
During the latest announcement, Cboe mentioned that the revenue capture for Global FX for the first quarter of 2021 is expected to be in line with the two-month average. Furthermore, the market operator is expecting Q1 of 2021 revenue capture of Canadian Equities to be 1 to 2 percent above the two-month average.
“These expectations are estimated, preliminary, and may change. There can be no assurance that our final RPC for the three months ended March 31, 2021, will not differ materially from these expectations,” Cboe added.
Vela, an independent provider of data and Execution technology for global markets, announced in February 2021 that the company has added Cboe One Feed to its market data service SuperFeed.
