Cboe to Extend Options Trading Hours for Alibaba, TSMC, Nvidia and Others

The significance here is structural rather than directional: Cboe is pushing listed options toward the near-24-hour equity trading that already exists in single stocks, and doing it first for the mega-cap tech and semiconductor names that carry the heaviest options volume. Crypto-native traders who watch tokenized-equity and RWA products will recognize the pattern — extended sessions blur the line between traditional market hours and always-on venues. The open question is whether liquidity and spreads hold up in the thin pre-market and post-close windows, and whether other exchanges follow Cboe's lead.
