>Citadel is a big company, but it's not that big

Nice try, but Citadel is the largest market maker and if it were an exchange (ostensibly, it might as well be one!) then it would be almost as large as the CBOE!

You can just look up the relative sizes of those firms, you know. It's funny that you came up with CBOE as your reference, because you can look up how big CBOE is, too.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but consider it noted - I'll take a look at some more up to date statistics soon.
He’s trying to say that cboe is a particularly funny reference as they process minuscule equity trades. Which makes sense given they are an options exchange…
I'm more just, CBOE is not that big a company.
