Why is Cboe especially well-positioned for 24-hour trading?
Cboe already operates robust after-hours sessions and has a diverse product suite including options and futures, which could see correlated activity increases if underlying equities trade continuously.
What risks does Cboe face from this initiative?
If the SEC imposes burdensome requirements or if liquidity remains thin, Cboe might incur high costs without proportionate revenue gains. Competitive pressures from Nasdaq and other venues also pose a threat.
