A key reason why I sold my $CBOE position earlier this year was my lack of faith in their European growth strategy.
Below I'll lay out why I'm so skeptical, and hopefully people smarter than me can chime in & tell me why i'm wrong.
Here we go:
CBOE says market participants are frustrated with an opaque European structure. In the past, frustrated market participants have launched their own exchange to solve their own problems (ie ICE, Tradeweb, BrokerTec). Why aren't they doing this here?

I think CBOE's entrance may grow the market somewhat, but will only serve to fragment liquidity even further. Even if they succeed in holistically changing European market structure, I don't want to stick around to find out how long it takes or how much it costs.

What am I missing? Why will they succeed? Is their bet worth holding the stock to find out if it pays off? Thanks in advance for feedback/thesis pressure testing.
