Cboe Global Markets, Inc. today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full year.
Record Global FX net revenue of $23.7 million increased $4.3 million, or 22%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was due to higher net transaction and clearing fees.
ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $53.3 billion for the quarter, up 17% compared to last year’s fourth quarter, and net capture rate per one million dollars traded was $2.95 for the quarter, up 8% compared to $2.72 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total revenues less cost of revenues of $671.1 million increased 28%, compared to $524.5 million in the prior-year period, a result of increases across all net revenue captions.
Total operating expenses were $267.3 million versus $226.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $41.3 million. This increase was primarily due to the impairment of assets and higher compensation and benefits, driven by an increase in accrued bonuses as a result of strong company performance in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Adjusted operating expenses1 of $220.6 were up $15.8 million compared to $204.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, driven by an increase in accrued bonuses as a result of strong company performance.
