CBOE partners with UK firm to launch U.S. private share trading platform, Bloomberg News reports
Adds statement from Globacap in last paragraph
Sept 5 (Reuters) - Derivativesexchange operator CBOE CBOE.Z is partnering with a London-based tech firm, Globacap, to create a U.S. tradingplatform for shares of closely held companies, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.
CBOE Private Markets has already registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as a broker-dealer last month, the report said, adding thatthe platform is currently in its pilot stage, with no official launch date announced.
Private markets have gained popularityas investors seek alternative assets beyond traditional stocks and bonds. High profile startups like SpaceX and OpenAI staying private for longer have also boosted the appeal of such assets.
Some financial heavyweights are capitalizing on this interest. In June,asset management giant BlackRock BLK.N acquired British tech firm Prequin to expand its footprint in the space, while MSCI <MSCI.N>launched 130 new private market indexes in July.
Exchange operator Nasdaq NDAQ.O alsospun out a trading platform for private companies in 2021.
"Private markets offer diversification away from listed markets, and investors have the potential to benefit from ... greater protection from market shocks," Marsh McLennan's MMC.N consulting unit Mercer wrote in a report last year.
Chicago-based CBOE allows customersto trade in options, futures and other derivatives. It has been refocusing on its core businesses andwound down its cryptocurrency spot trading platform this year, citing a lack of regulatory clarity.
CBOE did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment. A spokesperson for Globacap confirmed the FINRA had granted it a license but declined to give further details.
