đ¨NEW: The SEC has approved
@Cboe to list binary options tied to KPIs (key performance indicators) reported by public companies, including
@coinbase,
@RobinhoodApp and
@MARA.
The contracts let traders take yes/no positions on metrics like Coinbase trading volume, Marathonâs BTC production and Robinhoodâs customer and revenue numbers.
Robinhood is expected to be the first retail broker to offer them.
For crypto, this creates a new way to trade crypto-linked company performance beyond betting directly on $BTCâs price. The SEC approved this specific securities-options structure, while leaving room for differently structured contracts to fall under CFTC jurisdiction.
@SECPaulSAtkins called it âa new spirit of harmonization, innovation, and investor choice.â
