The 25-year deal keeps Cboe’s exclusive SPX options rights and opens the door to possible tokenized derivatives.
- Cboe and Dow Jones Indices announced Monday a 25-year extension of their licensing agreement, granting Cboe exclusive rights to offer SPX options through 2051.

- While the companies did not announce specific tokenized products or timelines, the agreement signals Cboe and Dow Jones Indices are considering extending experimentation into derivatives, including potential tokenized options.
- Major players like the New York Stock Exchange and DTCC are developing infrastructure for tokenized assets and 24/7 trading venues, reflecting broader industry adoption of tokenization to improve efficiency.
