Lime Brokerage has acquired a minority interest in the CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC (CBSX), a subsidiary of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
“Lime looks for trading venues that offer unique pools of liquidity for Lime’s customers to interact with. CBSX offers a displayed and non-displayed market for Lime’s customers to provide liquidity for CBOE options traders’ hedging activity.
