Data and Access Solutions also demonstrated steady growth, with a 9% year-over-year increase in net revenue.

Despite a 12% decrease in cash and spot markets net revenue due to the exceptional volumes experienced in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2023, Cboe remains optimistic about the future.
