July 23 (Reuters) - Cboe Global Markets ( CBOE ) said on

Wednesday it will wind down its Japanese equities business,

including the Cboe Japan proprietary trading system and Cboe

BIDS Japan block trading platform.

The company expects to suspend operations on August 29,

2025, and formally close the business after consultations with

regulators.

The decision was made in response to evolving business

conditions that challenged the financial sustainability of

maintaining its equities operations in Japan.
