SEC Votes to Approve Exchange Listing of Binary Options Tied to KPIs

The Securities and Exchange Commission voted Oct. 13, 2026, to approve a security exchange’s proposed rule change allowing it to list binary options tied to specified key performance indicators reported by certain stock issuers. The contracts would be standardized, cash-settled and European-style options. They would trade on a securities exchange as national market system securities and remain subject to securities-law protections. Exchange rules would govern customer accounts, margin requirements, trading halts, auctions, order types and market-maker obligations for the options. The approval applies only to the specified contracts listed on an exchange that lists and trades standardized securities options.
