Cboe EDGX is one of the fastest growing equities exchanges in the U.S., averaging 705 million shares traded per day in 2020. The Exchange aims to cater to a broad set of market participants and offers innovative product offerings that are tailored to their various trading needs. In particular, Cboe’s Retail Priority offering is designed to enhance execution quality for the growing retail customer base, which now comprises approximately 50 percent of monthly trading volumes on Cboe EDGX.

To support early trading on Cboe EDGX, the startup time for Cboe EDGX market data feeds as well as the Cboe One Feed is also planned to be updated to occur between 2:40 and 2:50 a.m. ET, beginning March 8. Cboe One Feed, available to customers globally, provides cost-effective, high quality, real-time U.S. equities reference quote and trade information from all four of Cboe’s U.S. equities exchanges: BZX Exchange, BYX Exchange, EDGX Exchange and EDGA Exchange. Cboe One Feed disseminates quotes that in 2020 have been, on average, within 1 percent of the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) more than 98 percent of the time.
