- Data Vantage business experienced an 8% organic net revenue increase, highlighting the durability and global expansion of this segment.
- Cboe's strategic focus on global expansion, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, is yielding positive results with new client onboarding in Korea and Taiwan.
- Despite strong revenue growth, North American equities net revenue only increased by 2%, partially offset by lower net transaction and clearing fees.
