The Chicago-based exchange operator said total average daily volume (ADV) in options reached 21.4 million contracts, a 47 percent increase from a year earlier.
Cboe revealed the surge was driven by record trading in multi-listed options, which climbed to a monthly ADV of 15.9 million contracts, and a strong performance in its proprietary index options, which rose 38.6 percent to 5.5 million contracts.
Trading in S&P 500 Index (SPX) options set multiple records during the month, including a new monthly ADV of 4.4 million contracts, a zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options record of 2.7 million, and a single-day peak of 6.4 million contracts on October 10.
Equity trading also strengthened, with U.S. on-exchange activity up nearly 57 percent year-on-year to 2.02 billion shares, while off-exchange trading rose almost threefold.
Cboe’s European and Canadian equity volumes increased 25 percent and 34 percent, respectively, while its futures activity rose 39 percent from a year earlier.
