Chicago Board Options Exchange

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) was founded in April 1973 as the first U.S. options exchange offering standardized, listed options. 
Chicago-based Cboe is the third-largest U.S. stock-exchange operator after the NYSE and Nasdaq Inc., as measured by market share. 
As a division of the parent company Cboe Global Markets, Inc., Cboe is now referred to as Cboe Options Exchange.
Cboe Global Markets, Inc., ranked as the world's fifth-largest derivatives exchange by contract volume in 2018, according to the annual Futures Industry Association's survey of the world's leading derivatives exchanges. Cboe Global Markets recorded its 11th straight year of volume over 1 billion contracts in 2018 with 2.05 billion contracts traded on its exchanges: Cboe, BATS Exchange, C2 Options Exchange, Cboe EDGX Options Exchange and Cboe Futures Exchange. 
In February of 2017, Cboe Global Markets acquired a rival, the Kansas-based ECN Bats Global Markets, Inc, giving the combined company an estimated $10 billion market capitalization. In September 2019, Cboe's market cap was $13.2 billion. 
As of July 2016, Cboe listed options on more than 3,900 equity and exchange-traded products. Its sister exchange, C2 Options Exchange, offers a different pricing model as an all-electronic equity options exchange. 
Trading at Cboe is handled by the exchange's Hybrid system, which enables customers to choose whether to have their transactions handled electronically or through open outcry. About 95 percent of Cboe orders are traded electronically, which equates to between 50 and 60 percent of the exchange's total business. The remaining transactions, traded via open outcry, typically are large or complex institutional orders that use the skills of floor brokers to "work the order" to gain potential price improvement. 
As part of the acquisition of Bats Global Markets, Cboe Global Markets migrated trading in all of the company's markets onto a single platform powered by Bats' proprietary trading technology. The Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE) successfully migrated to the Bats technology in February of 2018, the first of Cboe's legacy exchanges to do so. It completed the migration of all Cboe exchanges onto BATS technology on October 7, 2019 for all stocks, options and futures markets. 
Cboe also launched its European trading venue in Amsterdam, on October 1, 2019, with all European Union stocks. The move was in response to Brexit, but Cboe will continue to operate its United Kingdom trading venue for UK and European stocks. 
Cboe acquired Cboe Clear Europe (formerly EuroCCP) in July 2020. 
On April 29, 2021, Cboe announced a September 6, 2021 launch date for its Netherlands-based derivatives exchange, Cboe Europe Derivatives, pending regulatory approval. The exchange said it initially would offer trading in futures and options based on six Cboe Europe Indices: the Cboe Eurozone 50, Cboe UK 100, Cboe Netherlands 25, Cboe Switzerland 20, Cboe Germany 30, and Cboe France 40. Cboe Europe Derivatives said it plans to add futures and options on additional European benchmarks, along with single-stock options, at a later date, according to customer demand. EuroCCP, Cboe's pan-European clearing operator, was set to provide clearing services for the exchange. 
Cboe Global Markets extended its operations in Asia in 2021 with the planned acquisition of Chi-X Asia Pacific Holdings. In a March 24, 2021 announcement, Cboe said the deal would enable the exchange operator to expand its global equities business, including bringing its block platform, BIDS Trading L.P., to the Asia Pacific region. The transaction was expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2021, pending regulatory review. 
== Chicago Board Options Exchange History ==
In addition to the history snapshot below, Cboe created a video, along with John Lothian Productions to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2013.
===Birth of the First===
In the late 1960s, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) sought to diversify its business. Weather-induced volatility (or the lack thereof) in agricultural commodities led to boom or bust years for the exchange. Looking for more stable annual performance, executives thought of ways to augment their agricultural futures offerings, initially focusing on offering futures on single stocks. But, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) was adamant the CBOT not pursue futures on stocks. 
In 1969, the idea was born to apply the principles of the CBOT's commodity futures markets to securities options, since there was already an over-the-counter market for stock options, albeit very small. Monthly OTC options volume at the time was in the ballpark of 9,000 contracts a month. 
"Our dealings with the SEC were totally adversarial. At our first meeting with the SEC people around the beginning of 1969, the senior staff guy told us in no uncertain terms that there were absolutely insurmountable obstacles and that we shouldn't waste a nickel on it," said Joe Sullivan, the first president of the Cboe. 
The original plan for securities options trading was written on the back of a napkin by then-CBOT vice chairman Ed O'Connor during a dinner with then-Chairman Bill Mallers and President Henry Hall Wilson. The SEC objected to a futures exchange listing options, leading to the development of a separate exchange, the Cboe. 
Once it was decided that options on stocks was the way forward, the process of research, regulatory approvals, personnel recruitment and product development began. 
Up until the development and debut of the Cboe securities options prices were usually obtained by word of mouth or from the newspapers. The put-call ratio was first developed by looking at volumes of ads for contracts in "Barron’s".

===Doors Open, Bigger Doors Follow===
Four years after the conception of the idea on a napkin, the Cboe launched on April 26, 1973 in a space that used to be the CBOT’s smoking lounge. The first day’s volume was 911 contracts on 16 stocks. They were all calls as the trading of puts would not be approved for another four years. 
Of the utmost importance was the effective operation of the Cboe's Clearing House, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Clearing Corporation, under the guidance of Wayne P. Luthringshausen. The first day was tense, as the clearing software, essentially created pro-bono, was untested and cobbled together. But, everything worked, and after the day's clearing was over, Luthringshausen delivered the good news to an anxious Sullivan at the Cboe's launch party. 
For the Cboe to open and eventually expand its standardized listings, the SEC required one clearing corporation for options. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Clearing Corporation would become the Options Clearing Corporation later in 1973, and the central clearing house for all options markets in 1975. 
While clearing was crucial for the operations of the exchange, growth of the options industry would not have been possible if not for the simultaneous development of the Black-Scholes model, first published in 1973. The Black-Scholes model was a mathematical formula for pricing an option's premium. 
“In the very earliest days of Cboe, no one really knew what an option was worth. It was just merely supply and demand, but it wasn’t based on any mathematical calculation," said longtime Cboe executive Bill Brodsky. 
“There is no question that without the Black-Scholes model, we wouldn’t be sitting here. It is clearly the most significant formula developed in economics, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe even farther [back],” said Gary Lahey, Cboe vice chairman from 1986-1987.
During early days of trading, volume averaged about 1,000 calls a day. In that start-up period, the Cboe's employees skewed younger as its future as an exchange was uncertain. Even as its clout in the industry grew, that uncertainty forced the exchange to continue the youth trend. A year after launch, Cboe trading volume had grown 40-fold, allowing the exchange to move onto its own larger trading floor directly above the CBOT trading floor.
Then in 1984, Cboe moved to its current 10-story building at 400 South LaSalle in Chicago — a far cry from its first home in the former CBOT smoking lounge.
===Product Additions===
One of the most noteworthy milestones in Cboe's history was the launch of stock index options, which began in March 1983 with the exchange's first proprietary index, the CBOE-100 Index, later renamed the S&P 100 Index (OEX). The renaming marked the beginning of a long partnership with Standard & Poor's. Four months later, options trading on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) was launched. 
Subsequent years saw creation of more new products and indexing tools, including:
*Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities (LEAPS) (1990) 
*FLEX options (1993)
*CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) (1993)
*Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX) (1997)
*VXN Volatility Index (VXN) (2001)
*CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) (2002) - first major benchmark for options performance, stemming from a study by a Duke University professor 
*CBOE Weeklys options (2005)
*CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index (PUT) (2007)
====Birth of a Rockstar====
The most ubiquitous of all the Cboe products is the VIX, frequently called the "fear index" or "fear gauge." The VIX was first developed in 1993 by Vanderbilt University finance professor Robert Whaley. 
The VIX measures expectations of market risk through the pricing of S&P 500 Stock Index options. At first, the VIX was simply a sentiment indicator that could not be traded. That changed in 2004, when the Cboe introduced futures on the VIX. VIX options were introduced the following year. Now, an array of exchange traded products based on the VIX (or its kindred volatility measures) are available to traders.
=== Cboe's Options Exchanges ===

*Cboe Stock Exchange (CBSX) (2007) (closed)
=== Cboe Becomes a Publicly Traded Company ===
The Cboe's parent company, then called CBOE Holdings Inc., went public on June 15, 2010, at a share price of $29.
=== Cboe BIDS Canada ===
Cboe announced it had successfully migrated MATCHNow to Cboe technology on February 1, 2022, and launched Cboe BIDS Canada.
== Products ==
=== Options on Equities ===
As of July, 2016, Cboe listed more than 3,900 equity and ETF options.
=== Index-Related Products ===
As of January 1, 2014, Cboe listed 14 cash index options for trading. As early as 1983, Cboe began to establish exclusive licensing agreements with Standard & Poor's to offer stock index options based on the S&P 500 (SPX) and S&P 100 (OEX), and later with Dow Jones on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In addition, the Cboe has created proprietary indexes and index methodologies, e.g., the VIX and a long list of volatility products, for tracking market volatility and investor sentiment. The exchange has been recognized for its index product development and as the creator of volatility products. 
In March of 2013, CBOE Holdings renewed their exclusive license agreement with S&P Dow Jones Indices to list the S&P 500 index options contract (SPX) until 2031, with non-exclusive listing rights through 2033.
In 1993, Cboe unveiled the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). Cboe and the options industry celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1998, followed by the Cboe ADV surpassing one million contracts for the first time in 2000.
On December 10, 2014, Cboe announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with MSCI Inc. to offer options trading on several MSCI indexes. Under the agreement, in the U.S., options on the MSCI indexes are solely listed for trading on the Cboe. The six indexes included in the agreement are the MSCI EAFE Index, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI ACWI Index, MSCI USA Index, MSCI World Index and the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index. The exchange plans to offer options trading in the first quarter of 2015, pending regulatory approval, on two of MSCI's best-known indexes: the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index; it plans to list options on the four other MSCI Indexes later in 2015.
On February 26, 2015, Cboe announced it had entered into a licensing agreement with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to list options based on more than two dozen FTSE and Russell indexes. Cash-settled options on the indexes are to be listed on the Cboe. Cboe and LSEG will also collaborate on new index options products and investor education globally. 
On May 1, 2015, CBOE Holdings announced plans to list futures and options with weekly expirations on the VIX Index. VIX Weeklys futures began trading at Cboe Futures Exchange in July 2015.
In July 29, Cboe, in partnership with Social Market Analytics, launched the CBOE-SMA Large-Cap Index (SMLC Index), an index based off of Twitter sentiment. 
In February of 2019, Cboe began the rollout of options on 11 Select Sector Indices that make up a sub-index of the S&P 500 Index, further expanding Cboe’s suite of products tied to S&P Indices. The exchange said the new options would have particular utility for investors seeking an alternative to options on exchange-traded funds, including European customers seeking an alternative due to certain European regulations. The Select Sector options are cash-settled with European-style exercise, similar to Cboe’s S&P 500 Index (SPX) options. The rollout began with options on the Materials Select Sector Index. 
On October 27, 2021, Cboe Global Markets announced plans to launch Nanos by Cboe, a "first of its kind" options contract designed to simplify options trading and make it accessible for the everyday retail trader. Cboe launched its first Nanos on the S&P 500 Index in March of 2022. The contracts are 1/100th the size of an XSP1 option.
On October 9, 2024, Cboe Global Markets announced that it would begin trading its new Options on Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) Futures (Ticker: UX) on Cboe Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE) on Monday, October 14. The new Options on VIX Futures are intended to provide investors with another tool to help manage U.S. equity market volatility.

=== Bitcoin Futures ===
In summer 2017, Cboe agreed with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (aka "the Winklevoss twins") for Cboe's futures subsidiary, Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE), to use bitcoin market data generated by their virtual-currency exchange Gemini for final cash settlements in its upcoming bitcoin futures (XBT). With each contract representing the value of one bitcoin, Cboe launched the first bitcoin futures on December 10, 2017, trading a reported 4,127 contracts in their first day of trading, with nearly 20 trading firms participating. Cboe waived transaction fees on XBT throughout that month.
Cboe announced on March 14, 2019, that CFE would not list new XBT futures months beyond June 2019, and that it would consider its next steps for supporting digital asset derivatives trading. On the day of the announcement, CFE traded 2,089 contracts.
=== Bitcoin ETPs ===
Cboe filed with the SEC in mid-December 2017 to list multiple bitcoin futures ETFs, including: the First Trust Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the First Trust Inverse Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the GraniteShares Bitcoin ETF, the GraniteShares Short Bitcoin ETF, the REX Bitcoin Strategy ETF and the REX Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF. 
On January 23, 2019, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that Cboe had withdrawn its proposal for a rule change that would have allowed it to list and trade shares of a bitcoin ETF - specifically, the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust. Cboe said in an email statement that the plan was related to the effects of the U.S. government shutdown occurring at the time. Cboe also said that the company planned on refiling a similar proposal at a later date with the SEC.
A week later, on January 31, VanEck digital asset strategy director Gabor Gurbacs announced that the firm, as well as Cboe and SolidX, had re-filed the request with the SEC.
In March 2019, the SEC postponed making a decision on the request, delaying it until May 21. The decision was further delayed in May, and a new deadline of October 18, 2019, was set. 
In early September 2019, VanEck began offering a broker-traded fund related to bitcoin that would not be available to the public and could only be traded over-the-counter. The fund was called the VanEck SolidX Bitcoin Trust 144A Shares, and as its name implied, was traded under a Rule 144A exemption with the SEC.
On September 17, 2019, the SEC published a statement saying that the proposed rule change had been withdrawn - a month before the deadline for the approval of the bitcoin ETF.
In December 2020, Cboe announced that it had entered a partnership with CoinRoutes, a digital asset market data firm, allowing Cboe to make use of CoinRoutes’ proprietary RealPrice data feed to create digital asset index products, as well as other, similar products and services. 
In its at least fourth attempt to list a bitcoin ETF, Cboe submitted a proposal to the SEC for trading shares in a VanEck Bitcoin Trust on March 1, 2021. Ostensibly, Cboe was optimistic that the SEC would view the bitcoin marketplace as operating better than when Cboe withdrew a proposed bitcoin ETF in January 2021. It was the first formal ETF proposal to the SEC after Chairman Jay Clayton stepped down from the agency in December 2020.
=== Cboe SEF ===
On December 8, 2017, Cboe launched trading on the Cboe SEF, its new swap facility. The launch gave market participants the ability to trade non-deliverable FX forwards on emerging markets currencies for the first time on proprietary Cboe technology.

== Technology ==
In 2003, Cboe introduced the CBOE Hybrid Trading System. The practical philosophy behind Hybrid was that customers should be allowed to choose whether their orders are represented in the face-to-face open outcry marketplace or submitted to the electronic environment. In the electronic environment, CBOE Hybrid also can provide price improvement opportunities through features like Automated Improvement Mechanism (AIM) and Complex Order Auction (COA). 
CBOE Hybrid lets market makers submit real-time, streaming quotes reflecting their individualized trading interest. Cboe disseminates the best bid and offer from all market participants, resulting in tighter, deeper markets that can be accessed electronically by customers. According to the exchange, liquidity is enhanced by remote participants - Electronic Designated Primary Market Makers (e-DPMs) and Remote Market Makers (RMMs) - as these market participants are allowed to stream quotes and trade electronically from remote locations. 
Before the advent of the Hybrid System, Cboe introduced other technological solutions, including:
*1984 - Launch of Retail Automatic Execution System (RAES) to facilitate electronic order execution;
*1989 - Introduction of EBook, the first electronic customer limit order book; 
*1993 - Market makers on the Cboe trading floor use electronic, hand-held terminals;
*1999 - Introduction of ROS, the Rapid Opening System, to shorten the time taken for the opening rotation;
*2001 - Launch of CBOEdirect; the exchange's screen-based trading system, initially used for extended hours trading;
*2010 - Cboe introduces its new front end, Pulse. The technology is the first product to emerge from Signal Trading Systems, a joint venture between Cboe and FlexTrade Systems.
*2012 - Launch of CBOE Command, Cboe's new-generation trading system, which powers Cboe, C2 Options Exchange, Cboe Futures Exchange, CBOE Stock Exchange and OneChicago, which stopped trading in 2020.
*2016 - Announcement of Vector as next trade engine. 
On August 7, 2015, CBOE Holdings acquired the market data services and trading analytics platforms of Livevol, Inc., a provider of equity and index options technology and market data services.
On February 28, 2018, Cboe announced the successful migration of Cboe Futures Exchange to its Bats proprietary technology platform.
== Cboe Educational Efforts ==
The Options Institute is the educational arm of Cboe. The Options Institute debuted in 1985 to educate investors about options. Each year, hundreds of seminars are held in the U.S. and internationally, aimed at individual and institutional investors, market regulators and others. Curricula are produced and courses are taught by Cboe trading industry professionals.
With the advent of technology and on-demand education, the Options Institute has added a comprehensive listing of online curricula to its live seminar lineup. These educational efforts are sponsored both by Cboe and by options-related firms to give investors and institutions an increased appreciation for options strategies and how they can be used in various portfolios to manage risk/maximize profit.
Bats Global Markets acquired the multimedia informational website ETF.com in 2016. Founded in 2001, ETF.com offers retail investors and advisors news and educational content about exchange-traded funds. When Bats merged with Cboe, it allowed ETF.com to expand its multimedia business with webinars, events, videos and podcasts, growing its core readership. Cboe sold ETF.com to ETFS Capital, a strategic investment company, in February 2021.

== Regulation ==
Cboe is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 
In December 2014, Cboe announced they would cede their self-regulatory duties to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) starting Jan. 1, 2015. Cboe also hired FINRA to take over its regulatory duties for the Options Regulatory Surveillance Authority (ORSA), which the U.S. options exchanges established in 2006 to collaborate on insider trading surveillance and investigations. Cboe employees continue to oversee the Cboe Futures Exchange.

The Need for a Better Dialogue with Regulators - Ed Tilly, Cboe
In this video from JLN’s Industry Leader Series, Cboe Global Markets Chairman, President and CEO Ed Tilly talks about why the Transaction Fee Pilot is a misguided effort in search of a problem, specifically raising the issue of why such a plan does not address the boom in dark pool trading. Tilly also addresses Cboe nearing the end of the Bats technology integration and gives an outlook for the exchange’s asset classes in 2019.
Taking the Reins: Cboe’s Ed Tilly Makes The Transition to CEO
It has been half a year since Ed Tilly took over as CEO of the Cboe from Bill Brodsky, who moved to the newly created role of executive chairman.
With six months under his belt, John Lothian News Publisher John Lothian sat down with him to talk about his new job, new initiatives from the Cboe and the challenges facing the industry.
Getting Shorter: Cboe’s Ed Tilly Introduces Short-term VIX and Industry Taxes
In Part 2 of this interview, Tilly talks about the Cboe extending the VIX trading hours to access trading from European traders and how he expects the VIX will someday be open the same hours as the CME’s Globex S&P 500 futures.
He also talked about the Cboe’s new VXST short-term VIX contract, which will offer traders a much more sensitive instrument to be able to trade short-term events.
He spoke about the meeting the industry had with the chairman of the SEC about problems that have plagued the markets in recent months.
Lastly, he spoke about the impact of the Camp Proposal, a piece of proposed legislation from Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), a member of the House Committee on Ways & Means, that could have a big impact on the options business and its customers. Camp’s proposal includes several provisions that would change the tax treatment for strategies used in options trading. Some believe it could severely harm the listed options business in the United States.
