Cboe and AWS Partner to Power New Market Data Streaming Service, Cboe Global Cloud

Cboe Global Markets, Inc., a cutting-edge trading and investment solutions provider, announced that it has partnered with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to power Cboe Global Cloud, a new market data streaming service that is set to launch on November 1.

According to the official press release, as a real-time and cloud-based market data streaming service, Cboe Global Cloud aims to optimize the efficiency and delivery of Cboe's data services for market participants globally. It is designed to mitigate industry pain points common with traditional methods of market data access, which typically require physical connectivity to multiple separate and distinct platforms. The new service aims to reduce those inefficiencies by enabling customers to directly access real-time Cboe data through AWS Cloud from multiple locations around the world with as little as an internet connection. 

In addition, the service will bring Cboe's wide array of data products together onto a unified platform, providing customers a simple and efficient way to receive a variety of real-time data via a single access point.

With the launch of the new service, Cboe will further execute on its strategy to grow its global data and analytics business through diversifying its products, services and technology offerings on a global scale. Significantly, Cboe Global Cloud is expected to help further extend Cboe's data to new users and geographies – an important step towards broadening investor access globally to Cboe's proprietary content, market data and access solutions.

Cboe Global Cloud will initially provide access to Cboe U.S. Equities Exchange data, Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE) data and Cboe Streaming Market Indices (CSMI) data. The data will be made available through AWS in three key regions to start: U.S., UK and Hong Kong. Following the November launch, Cboe plans to introduce additional content, market data, and analytics across asset classes – including Equities, Options, Futures, FX and Indices – based on customer demand.

As Fazzaco reported earlier, Cboe has announced plans to launch Nanos by Cboe​, a first of its kind options contract designed to simplify options trading. Nanos by Cboe help make options trading accessible for the everyday retail trader, allowing them to start small, learn as they go and grow their trading confidence.
