According to Bloomberg, Cboe Global Markets is considering launching perpetual futures based on the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX). Rob Hocking, Cboe's Global Head of Derivatives, stated that it's currently not possible to directly trade the VIX spot level, and perpetual futures might offer a solution. However, Cboe will wait for further clarity from U.S. regulators on the regulatory framework for perpetual futures before moving forward. Cboe already offers VIX futures and options products; Hocking noted that perpetual futures can provide leveraged trading but lack the asymmetric payoff structure of options, where the maximum loss for option buyers is limited to the premium paid. https://(wublock123.com)/news/cboe-considers-vix-perpetual-futures-awaiting-us-regulatory-clarity-69385
