competition is always a threat, but with close to record volumes being tracked, these market places are not a threat just yet. everyone is benefiting, although i am sure if the smaller players were not in the space NYX would be doing much better on the american side of things. IMO, the naz is NYSE (American arm) biggest problem.
NYX has to prove itself on the American side (they did have good numbers last month, but one does not make a trend), maintain itself on the european side and show cost control from the merger... then hopefully nyx has a great quarter. If Thain can control these things he maybe a hero come Aug 2nd.

(i made a deal w/myself concerning my anonymity... if DNDN goes to 50 or NYX doubles by year end, i'll post my life story on my blog and no longer be anonymous... w/pictures of me celebrating and all :)
