Cboe Sets New Record with Over 1,000 U.S. ETFs Listed Amid Rising Market Demand

Cboe Surpasses 1,000 U.S. ETF Listings

In a remarkable achievement, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. has become the second exchange ever to list over 1,000 U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This milestone, announced on August 5, 2025, highlights Cboe’s pivotal role as a leading venue for innovation in the ETF market.

Victor Werny, Head of North American ETP Listings at Cboe, expressed that this accomplishment reflects both the industry's trust in Cboe's services and the progressive strategies that Cboe advocates for its partners. Notably, Cboe’s dynamic listing framework supports an impressive array of ETFs that encompass derivatives, global equities, fixed income, and even cryptocurrency-based products. As of now, over 115 unique issuers choose to list with Cboe U.S., indicating a robust growth trajectory.

The growth of Cboe’s listed ETFs has been astounding, showing an increase of over 70% since the start of 2023. A significant contributor to this surge is the rising appetite for actively managed ETFs, which now represent a substantial portion of the newly listed ETFs in 2025. Derivative-focused products, such as outcome-based and premium writing ETFs, constitute over 40% of all new ETF listings, illustrating a mounting investor interest in strategies that emphasize risk management and income generation. Moreover, Cboe has successfully expanded its offerings to include innovative options-based strategies that incorporate alternative assets, including several bitcoin ETFs among the 40 cryptocurrency ETFs listed on its platforms.

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, lauded Cboe's contributions to the market, stating that its commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with her firm’s mission to democratize access to transformative investment strategies. With Cboe's expertise in options trading, ARK Invest has been able to launch ETFs that reflect disruptive innovation, amplifying growth potential for investors everywhere.

Adam Phillips, COO of VanEck ETFs, also applauded Cboe's milestone, emphasizing the vital role Cboe plays in helping bring diverse investment strategies to market efficiently. VanEck has long championed the transformative potential of ETFs, and the recent advancements at Cboe have enabled them to expand their offerings significantly from emerging sectors to digital assets.

Graham Day, Executive Vice President and CIO of Innovator ETFs, acknowledged this important milestone, highlighting Innovator's collaboration with Cboe in the creation of industry-first products like the Defined Outcome ETFs™. These innovations have redefined how investors can manage risks and yield returns, demonstrating Cboe's leadership in shaping the ETF landscape.

Cboe's influence extends far beyond just the numbers; its innovative solutions such as FLEX options, developed in 1993, have provided vital flexibility and customization that many issuers rely on. Additionally, Cboe Global Indices offers superior indexing and theoretical pricing service, further cementing its position as a premier derivatives-based index provider.
