The Chicago-based exchange operator saw its quarterly average daily volume (ADV) for index options climb to 6.2 million contracts, with the S&P 500 Index (SPX) options hitting a record 5.1 million ADV for the second quarter. The appetite for short-term hedging remained particularly strong, as SPX zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options reached a monthly ADV record of 3.3 million contracts in June.
Cboe Reports Record Trading Volumes Amid Surge in Index Options
Cboe Global Markets shattered multiple trading records in June 2026, driven by an unprecedented surge in index options activity. The exchange operator reported a single-day volume peak of 33.4 million contracts on June 5, fueled by high demand for S&P 500-linked products as market participants ramped up risk management strategies.
Beyond index derivatives, Cboe’s multi-listed options segment delivered a record monthly ADV of 16.6 million contracts. The firm also provided preliminary second-quarter revenue guidance, estimating a net capture of $0.953 per index option contract. While these figures remain subject to final audits, they underscore a period of intensified trading activity across Cboe’s global platform, which spans equities and FX markets alongside its core derivatives business.
