Cboe Global Markets has filed a regulatory proposal to expand U.S. equity options trading hours, targeting alignment with international market activity. The plan introduces pre-market access from 7:30-9:25 a.m. ET and a 15-minute post-close session at 4 p.m., addressing growing demand from global participants.

Equity options volume surged 68% to 1.29 billion contracts in September, fueled by retail traders and innovative products. The phased rollout will prioritize high-liquidity instruments, with infrastructure upgrades enabling NEAR 24/5 trading capabilities.

Market analysts note the extended hours could mitigate overnight gap risks when macroeconomic news breaks during Asian or European trading sessions. The MOVE reflects structural evolution in derivatives markets as digital asset trading conditions influence traditional finance expectations.
