I’d say this is great news, especially since we’re talking about a billion-dollar company here.

We can check their marketcap.

Cboe Global Markets market cap history and chart from 2010 to 2024. Market capitalization (or market value) is the most commonly used method of measuring the size of a publicly traded company and is calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the number of shares outstanding. Cboe Global Markets market cap as of November 22, 2024 is $22.33B.

So it’s really happening, bit by bit, we’re seeing more good news about institutional investors diving into Bitcoin. This is exactly what pro-Bitcoin regulation can achieve. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear even more big updates before the year ends. Either way, this is a huge win for the Bitcoin market.

Traders will soon have another option for trading option contracts linked to the price of bitcoin.

Cboe Global Markets announced on Friday that it’s planning to launch the first cash-settled index options tied to the pioneering cryptocurrency shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday. The new contracts are expected to begin trading on Dec. 2, according to a press release.

The contracts won’t track the price of bitcoin directly. Instead, they will be based on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index. The index was designed by Cboe to track the prices of several spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds on a modified market-cap-weighted basis. The gauge should be closely correlated with the actual spot price of bitcoin, however.

Okay, what is Cboe Global Markets and what does it offers...?
