Cboe Global Markets has become the second largest primary listings venue for exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the US following record gains in new listings this year.For the year to date, Cboe has captured 35 per cent of all new product launches in the market. With these additional 94 listings, the Cboe BZX Equities Exchange is now home to more than 400 ETPs in the US, representing approximately USD370 billion in total assets under management from more than 50 unique issuers (as of 2 December, 2020). Cboe’s European market, which has seen a 115 per cent increase in listings over the past 12 months, lists more than 60 ETPs from nine unique issuers. The latest milestone advances Cboe’s position as a leading exchange for ETP issuers and underscores the continued expansion of Cboe’s ETP market share, which has seen a 1,400 per cent increase in listings over the past five years.

It is through our commitment to providing best-in-class listings services, leading-edge trading technology and innovative liquidity programs that Cboe has become the fastest-growing, global exchange for ETPs. We remain committed to our mission and advancing the markets for all participants.”
