Cboe Global Markets is a publicly owned company headquartered in the United States. Founded in 1973, it employs approximately 1230 individuals and reported $4.7B in revenue as of 2025. The company operates as an American entity that owns the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the stock exchange operator BATS Global Markets.
On October 2, 2026, Cboe revealed it is exploring perpetual futures tied to the VIX volatility index. These proposed contracts would avoid the expiry dates used by standard futures, with funding payments designed to keep perpetual contract prices near their reference index. The exchange acknowledged that market makers could face hedging challenges because traders cannot directly buy the VIX. This initiative follows earlier reports from October 1, 2026, when Cboe Global Markets confirmed its consideration of launching indefinite futures based on the Cboe Volatility Index, or 'fear index,' as U.S. exchanges aim to extend instruments from the digital asset market into traditional financial assets, potentially enabling closer investment in VIX spot movements. Separately on October 1, 2026, Cboe Global Markets and Robinhood launched binary Key Performance Indicator (KPI) contracts tied to the corporate performance of 23 U.S.-listed companies. Concurrently, Arcus deployed its request-for-quote (RFQ) infrastructure on Robinhood Wallet to facilitate swaps across more than 190 stock tokens.
