(cnbc.com) Cboe reported U.S. options trading hit 15.2 billion contracts in 2025, a 26% increase versus 2024, citing record activity across single‑stock, ETF and index options. (ir.cboe.com) The exchange frames its Chicago floor as a community of more than 300 brokers, market makers and trading‑floor professionals operating a hybrid open‑outcry and electronic model that supports SPX and VIX options. (ir.cboe.com) CNBC’s programming will include Cboe’s opening and closing bell ceremonies and the network said it will establish a broadcast studio on the trading floor that is scheduled to open later in the year. (marketchameleon.com) Craig Donohue, Cboe’s CEO, described the floor as the “vivid representation” of a sophisticated options ecosystem, while CNBC Editor‑in‑Chief David Cho framed the move as expanding the network’s on‑the‑ground reporting from the center of options activity.
