IEX tried to break into the listings business after launching in 2013. Their pitch was simple - lower prices and better services & value for listed companies. It took 5 years to get 1 listing - Interactive Brokers:https://iextrading.com/about/press/2018/04/ …

Their first listing was also their last. IEX had less market makers and lower trading volume than competitors, and IBKR leadership decided it was best to go back to Nasdaq:pic.twitter.com/vs1512OAKg

My point is that while competition is a good thing and this time may be different, by personal bet is that LTSE will have an extremely tough time getting traction, if it's even possible. IEX, a sophisticated team with a Michael Lewis novel at its back, couldn't do it.
