Cboe explores perpetual futures on VIX volatility index
- —A perpetual VIX contract would remove the need to roll expiring futures
- —Cboe has not published contract specs, launch dates or regulatory filings
- —The product targets CFTC-regulated futures traders rather than securities-based participants
- —Cboe launched the BITVX index for 30-day Bitcoin volatility in March 2026
Why it matters: If launched, perpetuals would move beyond crypto into mainstream traditional markets, deepening liquidity across the VIX complex.
