forward, and access to market data opened more doors for non- US investors to participate in the markets.
As more people outside of the US participated in the equities markets, interest in access to US options markets began to build, starting in Europe. As more investors in the region participated in the markets, there was a need for better access to robust data. Cboe expanded its options analytics offerings across Europe, strengthening access to market data that supports more informed decision making.
Soon, the same demand for better access to US markets expanded to Asia Pacific. First with US-listed equities, then options. To answer this call, Cboe launched Cboe Options Analytics Select, extending institutionalgrade options analytics capabilities globally and creating a tailored solution for APAC investors.
The APAC expansion of Cboe’ s options analytics suite enables users to access real-time implied volatility, Greeks, and theoretical pricing for US equity, ETF and index options through a scalable, cloud-based model.
This approach delivers a globally consistent analytics experience, where firms trading US options across regions can rely on aligned models, reference data and methodologies. This is especially important for firms with a presence across multiple jurisdictions, as they require consistency to support comparability of risk, simplified integration and more efficient cross-border operations.
Importantly, the APAC offering is purpose-built for regional demand to access US listed options markets, providing efficient regional delivery while maintaining the performance and data integrity required for institutional use.
By delivering these capabilities via an analytics-as-a-service model, Cboe helps remove the need for complex in-house infrastructure. This enables firms to accelerate time to market, reduce operational overhead, and focus on differentiated client and trading strategies.
Together, these developments reinforce Cboe’ s strategy to deliver a unified global service. The options analytics suite is anchored in US options expertise and has extended seamlessly across regions, bringing consistent, real-time risk intelligence to market participants wherever they operate.
The growth of options trading is not a trend. Increased participation creates new opportunities and requires new solutions. Cboe options analytics helps investors seize those opportunities with the data they need, delivered in a way that works for them.
