Kevin Carrai, Cboe vice president and global head, market data and access services said: “Cboe was the first global exchange group to launch regulated cryptocurrency futures in the U.S., and we are committed to helping foster a more mature and orderly global marketplace for digital assets. An important part of this effort is efficient and widespread distribution of trade data, to enable investors to make better decisions. To that end, we’re delighted to work with IPC to jump-start this effort.”
