European Single Stock Options

Cboe Europe Derivatives (CEDX) is creating a pan-European marketplace for single stock options. Building on its existing index derivatives contracts, CEDX will offer equity options on dozens of leading European companies. Options will be listed on underlying stocks in multiple phases. Phase one is scheduled for November 2023, covering equity options from 10 European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the Sweden) subject to regulatory approval. Further European countries and a wider breadth of options on stocks will be introduced, starting from February 2024.

This market will seek to replicate – and complement – the highly successful pan-European blueprint established by Cboe Europe’s cash equities business, which is now the largest European stock exchange by market share and notional traded.

With all products cleared through Cboe Clear Europe, the leading pan-European clearing house, CEDX will offer market participants an unrivalled set of clearing and margin efficiencies across cash equities and equity derivatives, subject to regulatory approval.
