Cboe Amends Transaction Fees for Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index Options Products

Cboe Exchange has filed an immediately effective rule change updating the standard transaction fees for its Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index Options (CBTX) and Mini Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index Options (MBTX) products. Broker-dealers and trading firms active in Bitcoin ETF options markets should review the updated fee schedule to ensure accurate cost modeling and client disclosures. While not a compliance mandate, fee changes on regulated crypto-linked derivatives products are relevant to firms managing best-execution obligations.

What to do

Review the updated Cboe fee schedule for CBTX and MBTX options and update internal cost models and client-facing disclosures accordingly.
