Eurex, the leading European derivatives exchange, has received approval from the CFTC to offer dividend options directly to participants in the U.S.
This allows market participants in the U.S. to efficiently manage their exposure in European equity markets.
Eurex's dividend derivatives segment has been growing, with over 21 million dividend contracts traded in 2024 and a 14% year-on-year growth in dividend options volume.
The launch of Mid-Curve Options on EURO STOXX 50 Index Dividend Futures has expanded the variety of strategies available for market participants to hedge dividend risk more precisely.
