I'd bet fees would have skyrocketed. I have some doubts the CFTC, SEC and the FTC would have approved.

 

Increased but not skyrocketed, that would have opened the door for a new competitor.

 

Who never get into the clearing houses. Remember Eurex's shot at US government debt.

 

Agreed, it would have not been approved.

 

Might have opened the door but it's already a duopoly. This would just make it a monopoly.

The result would be bad for everyone.
