Cboe Global Markets plans to sell its Australian equities business to focus on core and high-growth markets.

Cboe Global Markets plans to sell its Australian equities business, Cboe Australia, as part of a strategic shift to focus on core operations and high-growth markets. The move follows regulatory approval to list companies on its platform in Australia and comes amid broader efforts to streamline operations, including a potential sale of its Canadian unit. While no buyer or timeline has been confirmed, the divestiture could impact market competition and infrastructure. The decision reflects a global realignment by Cboe, prioritizing expansion in emerging areas over maintaining regional exchanges.
