On June 3, Cboe Global Markets rose 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $287.56/share, with trading volume of $160 million. The rebound comes after the stock plunged over 16% earlier this week following CFTC's approval of Bitcoin perpetual futures on a regulated exchange.
The selloff was triggered by the CFTC's decision on May 29 to approve Kalshi's launch of Bitcoin perpetual futures contracts, raising investor concerns that such products could eventually expand into equity index derivatives and threaten traditional exchange operators' market dominance. Cboe, CME Group, and Intercontinental Exchange all saw sharp declines, with Cboe suffering the steepest losses. However, multiple analysts have characterized the market reaction as excessive. Barclays analyst Ben Budish noted concerns that perpetual futures could potentially displace CME and Cboe's S&P 500-related products, while free capital markets strategist Jay Woods described investors as having adopted a shoot-first-ask-questions-later approach, calling the selloff clearly overdone.
