Cboe Titanium is the new name of the technology platform powering Cboe's world-class exchange operations for trading equities, options, and futures across its markets globally.

We are particularly grateful to our principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission, and to the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, for their cooperation and diligence throughout this process. This collaboration was essential in executing a smooth and timely technical and operational migration. With the foundation of Cboe Titanium now in place, we look forward to building further on Cboe Canada's mission to offer a full and integrated portfolio of trading capabilities through a single point of access, bringing greater efficiencies and enhanced quality of service to clients and the Canadian capital markets overall."

With Monday's migration, all Cboe Canada equities trading venues are now unified on the Cboe Titanium technology platform – the NEO-L, NEO-N, and NEO-D trading books, along with MATCHNow, which was previously migrated in February 2022. Also included in the migration was the relocation of Cboe Canada's primary and secondary data centers to new facilities in Toronto and Chicago, respectively.
