Cboe renewed its exclusive S&P 500 options licence with S&P Dow Jones Indices to 2051, keeping a market that traded a record 970.6 million contracts in 2025. The tokenized-options language in the 25-year deal commits neither firm to a product, so the value anyone can count today sits in the existing contract.

Tokenization becomes the test of whether AMMs capture on-chain liquidity or get bypassed
