Options markets are more active than ever. Liquidity matters. According to Cboe’s Q3 2026 industry update: - 70.6 million contracts traded daily on average across the options market. - 28.3 million contracts traded daily on average in ETF options. - ETF options activity increased 1% quarter over quarter, even as overall options volume moderated from Q2 record levels.
