Cboe Global Markets Explores Perpetual Futures for VIX

Cboe Global Markets is in the early stages of exploring perpetual futures tied to the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX). Unlike standard VIX futures that require rolling contracts to maintain long-term exposure, perpetual futures would eliminate expiration dates, mirroring a popular instrument in the cryptocurrency market. While Cboe has not yet released specific contract details or regulatory filings, the proposed product aims to provide easier access for participants who trade CFTC-regulated futures. Cboe has previously expanded into digital assets, including the launch of the BITVX index in March 2026 to measure Bitcoin volatility.
