• First-of-its-kind, exchange-operated trajectory crossing service for European equities, enabling participants to source and match liquidity based on a standard VWAP methodology
• Offered through Cboe BIDS Europe, the region’s largest block trading platform, utilising its proven conditional trade negotiation and execution workflow

LONDON, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cboe Europe, the largest pan-European stock exchange¹ and a division of Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), today announced that it plans to launch Cboe BIDS VWAP-X, a new trading service allowing participants to source and match liquidity at a forward benchmark price. This service is scheduled to launch in early Q4 2024, subject to regulatory approvals.

This first-of-its-kind, exchange-operated trajectory crossing service for European equities will be provided as a service of Cboe BIDS Europe, the region’s largest block trading platform². Cboe BIDS VWAP-X is designed to utilise BIDS’ proven conditional trade negotiation and execution workflow to match orders based on a standard, exchange-regulated volume weighted average price (VWAP) methodology.

Natan Tiefenbrun, President, North American and European Equities, Cboe Global Markets, said: “As with all our trading innovations, this new service is being driven by industry demand with the aim of allowing end investors to achieve better execution outcomes. We believe the secular growth in systematic and passive investing has led to an increase in participative trading strategies which typically seek to achieve an average price over a defined time period. This new service enables natural buyers and sellers to cross their participative order flow at a VWAP price without incurring spread costs. A complement to our existing range of order book offerings, Cboe BIDS VWAP-X provides users with a venue-based solution for matching scheduled volume based on an exchange-regulated VWAP methodology.”

Stephen Berte, President, BIDS Trading, said: “Cboe BIDS VWAP-X demonstrates our commitment to innovation and developing new products that meet the evolving needs of our clients and the equities marketplace. We are excited for this new service to help make BIDS an even more integral part of clients’ toolkit for accessing the widest possible range of liquidity in Europe.”

Cboe BIDS VWAP-X will allow market participants to submit conditional VWAP indications of interest (IOIs) into the service. Once a potential match is found, firms will be invited to firm-up their IOIs, and after eligible order quantities are matched a standard matching cycle will take place to calculate the interval-VWAP trade price. Trades will be reported as off-book, on-exchange executions in real-time, allowing them to be centrally cleared through Cboe Europe’s interoperable clearing model.

The service will benefit from BIDS’ established protections against information leakage surrounding IOIs, including disclosure and interactions controlled by customisable tools and counterparty score-carding and filtering based on past trading behaviour.

At launch, the service will be accessible by sell side participants through FIX connectivity. Customer testing will begin in Q3 2024, ahead of a launch in early Q4 2024, subject to regulatory approvals.

Cboe BIDS VWAP-X will have a competitive pricing model, which will be transparent and publicly available. Pricing details will be shared closer to the launch date.

Based on industry, retail & eCommerce sector to hold the largest market size during the forecast period.

The research identified several drivers that would make the retail and e-commerce sector the most significant market for embedded finance throughout the forecast period, including the steady growth in online purchasing coupled with the rising number of digital consumers requires effective financial services integrated into the e-commerce platforms; BNPL products increase consumers’ purchasing capacity, leading to increased spending. Personalization capabilities enable retailers to offer customized financial products to their customers, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty. Secure payment gateways and other algorithms in fintech underline smooth transaction processes, leading to higher consumer confidence. An omnichannel approach that integrates both online and offline experiences has financial services that help improve the shopping experience. Growing cooperation between fintech and retailers helps to achieve significant integration and compliance with the requirements to introduce new services. At the same time, the growth of mobile commerce enhances the demand for integrated mobile payments. Collectively, these factors explain the large market size of the retail and e-commerce segment in the embedded finance market during the forecast period.

Based on the business model, the B2C model is expected to hold a higher growth rate during the forecast period.

The B2C model for embedded finance is expected to experience tremendous growth primarily because of the rising customer expectations for integrated and omnichannel financial solutions. The development of digital channels and e-commerce fuels the need for broader implementation. Innovation experiences in fintech, APIs, and AI, for instance, have helped ease integration, lowering entry barriers. Moreover, the strategic B2C model increases customer loyalty and customer retention since it provides them with individualized financial services, thus building lasting partnerships. It also widens the market since consumers who used to be locked out from accessing financial facilities due to various factors can access business ventures. Favorable economic and demographic indicators, such as improved disposable income, especially in emerging markets, as well as enhanced access to the Internet, have also boosted the demand for integrated financial services. These factors have made it evident that the B2C embedded finance model will likely realize faster growth during the forecast period under consideration.

Asia Pacific is expected to hold a higher growth rate during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region will have the highest growth rate in the Embedded Finance Market for the next forecast period because of several factors. The constantly expanding digitally linked economy due to the rise in Internet connection and smartphone use makes it easier to incorporate financial services into consumer apps. The growth of e-commerce and a continuously increasing volume of online purchases, the development of the middle class and a gradual increase in the available amount of money encourage the desire to have non-cash payment solutions such as digital wallets and BNPL. State programs aimed at developing digital financial services make a helping condition, and significant investments in fintech start-ups and technological development fuel the market’s growth. A large population of the countries in this region presents a substantial demand for financial services. The tech firms collaborate with different institutions and businesses to ensure that financial services are integrated into a universal platform. All these factors combined make it possible to affirm that the Asia Pacific region will maintain a favorable, capturing growth rate in the forecast period.
