Cboe Begins Trading in S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Options on April 14, 2025

Published

on

CHICAGO, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), the world’s leading derivatives and securities exchange network, today announced it has launched for trading S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (EWI) options. The new options are the latest addition to Cboe’s S&P 500 toolkit and provide investors additional choice and diversification opportunity through broad-based U.S. equity market exposure.

The S&P 500 EWI (Bloomberg index ticker: SPW) is the equal-weight version of the S&P 500 Index, with each constituent of the S&P 500 EWI allocated a fixed weight of 0.2% of the index total at each quarterly rebalance. While including the same constituents, the S&P 500 EWI and the capitalization-weighted S&P 500 Index often differ in sector and factor exposures including smaller-cap vs. mega-cap stocks, momentum bias, and realized volatility.

The S&P 500 EWI options are designed to provide different exposure and complement Cboe’s S&P 500 Index (SPX) options, which are one of the most actively traded and liquid options in the world. Market participants will be able to utilize the S&P 500 EWI options to make directional trades based on their views of macro trends and shifts in equity market dynamics and for additional hedging and income-generating opportunities.

“As investors turn to options at record levels to help manage U.S. equity market exposure and volatility, we are pleased to expand our S&P product suite with the launch of S&P Equal Weight Index options,” said Catherine Clay, Global Head of Derivatives at Cboe. “We expect these options to cater to both retail and institutional investors looking to diversify and implement a variety of trading strategies, ultimately providing them greater choice and ability to tailor their exposure to fit their needs.  Investors are increasingly seeking to gain more balanced exposure across the market, and with the indexing expertise of S&P Dow Jones Indices and demand for the capitalization-weighted SPX options, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index is ideally suited to underlie these new options.”   

Megan Morgan, Head of Market Structure at Belvedere Trading, said: “The addition of S&P 500 Equal Weight Index options by Cboe is timely and we are excited for the opportunity to serve as the Lead Market-Maker. We have long found value in the S&P 500 Index ecosystem and Cboe’s trading floor, and as the market evolves, more tools in the toolkit are always welcomed.”

Danny Kirsch, Head of Options Trading and Strategy at Piper Sandler, said: “The performance of the S&P 500 Index relative to the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index has been a key topic in conversations around equity index exposure in recent years. By adding options on the S&P 500 EWI Index, Cboe is now allowing customers more ways to hedge risks and manage portfolios.”

The S&P 500 EWI options are based on 1/10th the value of the S&P 500 EWI (options ticker: SPEQX). With a standard contract multiplier of $100, the notional value of an S&P 500 EWI options contract would be approximately $63,200 as of market close on April 7. The mid-sized notional value potentially allows for a wider range of market participants to access the options. Similar to Cboe’s other proprietary index options, S&P 500 EWI options are cash-settled and will have European-style exercise. Cash settlement eliminates concerns over physical delivery as profits and losses are settled as a debit or credit at expiration, and the European-style expiration removes the risk of early assignment and provides more certainty when implementing hedging strategies.  

On April 14, Cboe listed standard monthly options expiring on the third Friday. SPEQX options are available to trade during regular trading hours (RTH) between 9:30 a.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET. FLEX options are offered on SPEQX. Cboe plans to list PM-settled weekly options at a later date, pending regulatory approval.

Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight, commented:

“2025 was a defining year for Hydreight. We transitioned from a growing platform into a scaled healthcare infrastructure business, with strong revenue growth and sustained profitability.

The acceleration we saw in the second half of the year was driven largely by the rollout of VSDHOne, which is now becoming a meaningful contributor to both revenue and long-term scalability.

As we move into 2026, our focus is on expanding our partner network, increasing transaction volume across the platform, and continuing to grow our compliant healthcare infrastructures in the United States.”

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & DRIVERS

VSDHOne – Core Growth Engine

The Company’s VSDHOne platform, launched in 2025, was a primary driver of growth, contributing to:

Rapid onboarding of new partnersExpansion of direct-to-consumer healthcare brandsIncreased transaction volume across telehealth and pharmacy services

Revenue growth in 2025 was primarily driven by VSDHOne-related activity, combined with continued organic growth across existing partners.

The platform ramped significantly through the second half of the year, with Q4 alone contributing $14.9M in revenue, representing approximately 270% growth compared to the same period in 2024. This acceleration reflects strong demand from partners seeking compliant, turnkey solutions and demonstrates the Company’s ability to scale transaction volume efficiently across its infrastructure.

OPERATING METRICS & VOLUME GROWTH

Operational performance across the Company’s core verticals continued to strengthen throughout 2025.

The Company’s first two verticals continued their historical growth in 2025, supported by alignment with broader market trends and the introduction of direct-to-consumer products and services through Hydreight’s proprietary platform structure.

Completed Services revenue in Q4 2025 for the first vertical increased by approximately 44% compared to the same period in 2024Completed Services revenue for the first vertical in 2025 increased by approximately 17% compared to 2024New nurse sign-ups increased by approximately 45% in 2025 compared to 2024

These metrics reflect continued growth in the Company’s core service offerings, expansion of its provider network, and increasing utilization across the platform.

PLATFORM SCALE & NETWORK EFFECTS

Hydreight continues to expand its position as a leading healthcare infrastructure platform:

11,000+ licenses signed across VSDHOneNational footprint across all 50 U.S. statesNetwork of healthcare providers, pharmacies, and partners

The Company believes that this scale reflects growing demand from businesses seeking compliant, turnkey solutions to enter and expand within the U.S. healthcare market.

MULTI-VERTICAL REVENUE MODEL

Hydreight generates revenue across three primary streams:

Business partner subscription contractsTelehealth consultation and platform commissionsPharmacy sales

Growth was supported by:

Expansion of product offerings (GLP-1s, peptides, NAD, TRT, and more)Increased partner utilizationBroader adoption across wellness verticals

PROFITABILITY & OPERATING LEVERAGE

Hydreight achieved strong improvements in Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure:

Adjusted EBITDA: $2.5M in 2025 vs. $0.14M in 2024 (+1,765% YoY)Net income (loss): $1.69M in 2025 vs. $(0.41)M in 2024

Performance strengthened meaningfully in the fourth quarter, reflecting the scaling of the platform in the second half of the year.

Q4 Adjusted EBITDA: $1.58M vs. ($0.10M) in Q4 2024

This reflects:

Platform scalabilityRevenue growth outpacing cost increasesImproved operational efficiency

This improvement reflects the operating leverage inherent in the Company’s platform model and was not solely a function of higher revenue. As transaction volumes scaled across VSDHOne, incremental revenue flowed through at higher margins, supported by a largely fixed regulatory, pharmacy, and technology infrastructure. As a result, revenue growth outpaced cost growth, driving improved profitability and demonstrating the scalability of the Company’s platform.

¹ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation”.

BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY

Cash: $15.65M (vs. $1.2M in 2024)Working Capital: ~$15.7M (vs. deficiency of $2.5M in 2024)Strong capital position to support ongoing operations

The Company also completed a $15M financing in January 2026, subsequent to year‑end, further strengthening its ability to scale operations and pursue strategic initiatives.

Including the $15M financing completed in January 2026, the Company has access to over $30.7M in capital to support growth initiatives.

Please see SEDAR+ for the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES & MILESTONES

Hydreight continues to expand its platform through strategic initiatives and partnerships.

During 2025, the Company:

Strengthened its vertically integrated healthcare infrastructureExpanded its national pharmacy networkInvested in next-generation platform capabilities (VSDHOne 2.0)Established strategic relationships to enhance product innovation and distribution

In 2026, Hydreight further expanded its strategic initiatives through an investment in Insu Therapeutics, a company focused on developing innovative delivery mechanisms for peptide-based therapies. This aligns with Hydreight’s long-term strategy of supporting next-generation treatments across its platform.

OUTLOOK

Hydreight is entering 2026 with strong momentum, supported by:

Continued onboarding of new partnersIncreasing transaction volumes across VSDHOneRecent capital deployment initiativesExpansion into new healthcare verticals

As of the end of Q1 2026, VSDHOne has surpassed 12,000 licenses sold, reflecting continued momentum in platform adoption.

Management remains focused on scaling the platform while maintaining disciplined growth and operational efficiency.

“We look forward to discussing these results in more detail on our upcoming earnings call.” -Shane Madden

Clarification on Engagement of GRA Enterprises

Further to the Company’s news release early last year dated February 27, 2025, the Company wishes to clarify that its prior 3-month engagement of GRA Enterprises LLC (doing business as National Inflation Association) (“GRA”) was not renewed and as such was terminated effective May 27, 2025.

Under the engagement, the Company paid GRA an aggregate fee of USD $30,000 in cash pursuant to the GRA Engagement. The fee was paid from general working capital at the commencement of the engagement. No securities, stock options, or other equity-based compensation were issued or granted in connection with the engagement.

The engagement was conducted at arm’s length and has been fully concluded, with no ongoing obligations or amounts payable by the Company.  To the Company’s knowledge, neither GRA nor its principal, Gerard Adams, holds any direct or indirect interest in the Company or its securities, nor any right to acquire such an interest.

Adjusted Revenue reflects the gross economic activity processed through the Company’s platform during the applicable period and may differ materially from revenue recognized under IFRS, which is based on revenue recognition and deferral requirements. Adjusted Revenue is not a measure of financial performance or profitability and should not be considered a substitute for revenue determined in accordance with IFRS.  As used, Adjusted Revenue accelerates cash receipts relative to IFRS revenue recognition. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that these non‑GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in understanding historical operating trends and the scale of the Company’s platform relative to its peers but does not intend for such measures to represent future performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with IFRS.
