Cboe Global Markets, Inc. CBOE

Company Overview

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. is a global exchange holding company that operates a diversified set of securities and derivatives exchanges and related market infrastructure. The company provides trading, clearing, and market data services across multiple asset classes, including options, equities, futures, foreign exchange, and digital assets. It operates within the global financial markets and exchange services industry, serving institutional investors, broker-dealers, proprietary trading firms, and retail market participants.

Cboe is best known for its leadership in listed options trading, particularly U.S. index options, where it created and maintains proprietary products such as the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX). Founded in 1973 as the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the company demutualized and became publicly traded in 2010, later rebranding as Cboe Global Markets to reflect its expanded multi-asset and international footprint. Over time, Cboe has evolved from a single-options exchange into a global market operator with vertically integrated trading and data capabilities.
