About Cboe®

Are you wondering — who's Cboe?

Cboe (pronounced “sea-bow”, kinda like sea as in ocean, bow as in bow and arrow) is a global exchange operator and home to the first and largest options exchange in the U.S. — Cboe Exchange, Inc. (Cboe), formerly known as the Chicago Board Options Exchange. While we've got your attention, how 'bout we explore why options exchanges were created in the first place?

Kinda obviously, an options exchange creates an opportunity for the flow of options contracts. An exchange is sorta like the crossroads of a digital superhighway for capital, offering the full gamut of financial tools, services, and access.

Drawing on its legacy of innovation, Cboe creates options products and is an industry leader in every aspect of the trading experience. Now you know.
