Trading Venues

Through the move, more than 5,000 US shares and ETFs are now available for 24/5 trading; enhancements extend available US trading day from 6.5 hours to up to 16 hours.

CFTC-regulated event contract market Rothera has launched after just five months to coincide with The World Cup; platform is approaching a 10% share of US event contract market volume. 

The removal will better reflect ETF and futures price information in real time, reducing the likelihood of trading disruptions, and aligns with ADX’s continual build out of its derivatives offering.  

The past week saw several key moves, including a global head of trading promotion, head of fixed income appointment, and high touch sales team expansion.

New appointment had been with UBS for 16 years, including 12 as head of electronic credit sales for EMEA.

The move follows the launch of the DTCC’s industry-wide testing phase for 24/5 trading in January 2026, and aligns with wider efforts to expand to extended trading models across the US equities market. 

The structured wind-down of the service has been initiated and follows a “strategic review of Cboe’s risk and markets analytics business,” a Cboe spokesperson tells The TRADE. 

The move marks an expansion of the firm’s prediction markets focused offering, after Tradeweb and Kalshi entered a partnership to enhance institutional access to these markets in February 2026.  

The market link will cover Kenyan government bonds, infrastructure bonds and Treasury bills, and is set to support the growth of Kenya’s market on a global scale, and the influx of institutional investment.
