Look Back: Cboe Q2 2026 Index Updates

Cboe Global Indices is a leader in the creation and dissemination of volatility and derivatives-based indices, offering services that span product design, calculation, administration, listing, trading and benchmark licensing. As the largest U.S. options exchange operator, Cboe's pool of derivatives data and proprietary pricing algorithms enable its Global Indices team to develop complex index concepts that are central to Cboe’s ecosystem. Read on for a recap of the Cboe Global Indices launches and milestones achieved in the second quarter of 2026.

Index Launches in Q2 2026

• Cboe Bitcoin ETF Volatility Index (BITVX) | This index measures the expected 30-day volatility of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), similar to how the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX Index) measures expected volatility for the S&P 500® Index. To calculate BITVX, Cboe uses mid-quotes from IBIT options and blends two weighted option price sums. The result is then annualized, square-rooted and expressed as a percentage.

Notable Milestones

• Global X NASDAQ100 Covered Call ETF JPY-Listing (2865.T), which uses the Cboe Nasdaq 100 BuyWrite V2 Index (BXNT) as its benchmark and trades on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has surpassed $300 million in Assets Under Management (AUM). Although the fund remains much smaller than its U.S.-listed equivalent, the Japan-listed ETF has grown AUM by 23% year-to-date and 58% year-over-year.

• The newest edition of Index Insights offers a comprehensive summary of performance indicators for Cboe’s suite of indices throughout June.
