Cboe Global Markets announces expansion plans for CEDX into single stock options

Cboe Global Markets announced that Cboe Europe Derivatives, or CEDX, its pan-European equity derivatives exchange, is planning to expand its product suite to include single stock options on leading European companies. These products are expected to be available for trading in November and cleared by Cboe Clear Europe, the pan-European clearing house, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. CEDX is initially planning to offer equity options on companies from 10 European countries. Options on stocks from additional European countries are expected to be introduced starting from February 2024, subject to regulatory approvals. CEDX’s expansion into equity options will make it one of Europe’s most comprehensive equity derivatives exchanges, providing exposure to pan-European equities through single name and index derivatives via a single marketplace. In addition to offering market participants significant operational efficiencies through its pan-European approach, CEDX has also brought to Europe a transparent, on-screen market structure – similar to that utilized in the US – to help attract new participants of all types and grow the region’s derivatives markets overall.
