NASDAQ currently serves as the platform for almost 25% of total equity option trades in the U.S. On the other hand, the International Securities Exchange (ISE) – which NASDAQ recently agreed to acquire for $1.1 billion – controls just over 16% of the equity options market. With the ISE-NASDAQ deal underway, NASDAQ is expected to control the biggest slice of the equity options market, at a little over 40%.
