Cboe Eyes VIX Perpetual Futures as Crypto-Inspired Trading Expands
Cboe Global Markets Inc. is exploring the possibility of listing perpetual futures based on the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX).
The VIX measures how volatile S&P 500 options traders think the next 30 days will be, and its level can't currently be traded directly.
Cboe's move is part of a broader trend among US exchanges to bring highly leveraged instruments popular in crypto markets to new asset classes.
