Cboe Clear U.S. Receives SEC Approval to Expand Clearing Capabilities

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Cboe Clear U.S., LLC (CCUS), has received temporary registration from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to operate as a Covered Clearing Agency. This registration expands CCUS's clearing capabilities beyond its existing authorities as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-registered Derivatives Clearing Organization, allowing it to clear securities products in addition to futures and swaps. CCUS plans to initially use this SEC registration to clear binary securities options tied to specified corporate key performance indicators, which are scheduled to list on Cboe Options Exchange and be available on Robinhood in the fourth quarter of 2026.
