Quant trading firms that dominate the US options market are increasingly capturing market share in Europe, where they held 30% of Euro Stoxx 50 Index options in 2022. Their sophisticated models and off-screen trading activities are leading to more competitive pricing for buy-side clients. While European trading volumes remain stagnant, the presence of these market makers could encourage growth, especially among non-institutional traders. However, challenges like late cross trades persist, impacting overall visibility.
