Cboe Global Markets will host a virtual webinar on Thursday, Jan. 16 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST, introducing Bitcoin ETF Index Options. This new financial product expands ways to trade and manage bitcoin exposure on regulated exchanges.

Robert A. Hocking, senior vice president and global head of product innovation at Cboe, will lead the session, explaining the mechanics behind Bitcoin ETF Index Options and how they allow traders to engage with Bitcoin price movements without directly holding the cryptocurrency.

A New Way To Trade Bitcoin

Bitcoin ETF Index Options allow investors to speculate on bitcoin price shifts, hedge market risks and diversify portfolios using options based on exchange-traded funds. Unlike direct holdings, these options allow investors to engage with Bitcoin’s market activity while operating under the structure of traditional financial markets.

Hocking will explain how these options work, how they can be applied in different trading strategies, and why they may appeal to institutional and retail investors seeking a regulated method for crypto exposure.

Practical Trading Guidance

The webinar will focus on real-world strategies for using these options effectively, hocking plans to guide participants through steps for trading Bitcoin ETF Index Options, from accessing the products on trading platforms to managing risks associated with price fluctuations.

The event will show how traders can explore Bitcoin’s market activity while maintaining control through familiar financial tools by offering a structured approach.

Built-In Regulation And Security

Cboe’s Bitcoin ETF Index Options are designed with regulatory oversight. They aim to offer more stability and security than direct cryptocurrency ownership. Hocking will discuss how the options are backed by established market frameworks and explain the importance of compliance in digital asset trading.

Interactive Q&A Session

The event will conclude with a live Q&A, during which attendees can submit questions directly to Hocking about market use cases, risk management techniques and the broader implications of Bitcoin ETF Index Options.

Registration for the free webinar is available on Cboe's official website. The event is geared toward retail traders, financial advisors and crypto market participants who are looking for safer ways to monitor bitcoin price movements through a regulated structure.
