All volume data comparing Cboe FX with other venues has been normalized to account for different counting methodologies. Average Daily Volume (ADV) reported by each platform will not be based on the same number of trading days for a given month due to observed national or bank holidays unique to the jurisdiction in which a given platform is located. Cboe FX counts each day that a platform is open as a trading day.

All Cboe FX statistics include data from both the NY5 and LD4 matching engines, unless otherwise indicated.

1 Cboe SEF volumes are reported daily and can be found at www.cboe.com/global/fx/sef.

Consistent with Cboe SEF's CFTC regulatory obligation, all transactions involving a Credit Intermediary are reported to the SDR (DTCC). Credit Intermediary volumes are therefore double counted. Other notional values are shown as single-counted.

2 The Cboe FX platform permits the submission and posting of firm, and, under certain limited circumstances, non-firm quotes. Accordingly, users should be aware that (unless otherwise agreed with Cboe FX) they view and interact with both firm and non-firm bids and offers when accessing and transacting on the Cboe FX platform.
