Nasdaq Files to Offer Binary Options on Nasdaq-100

Nasdaq MRX has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to offer cash-settled, binary-style contracts tied to the Nasdaq-100 Index. The proposed “Outcome Related Options” would let traders place yes-or-no bets priced between 1 cent and $1, and would reference the Nasdaq-100 and Nasdaq-100 Micro indexes only — not events in sports, culture or politics.

Notable names in the Nasdaq-100 include Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta and Tesla. SEC approval would position Nasdaq alongside existing platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi, while crypto exchanges including Coinbase and Crypto.com move to integrate prediction markets.

Other Wall Street firms, including the Intercontinental Exchange, CME Group and Cboe Global Markets, have also invested in or signaled plans for similar offerings. CME’s partnership with FanDuel aims to open markets outside finance, whereas Cboe intends to focus on finance and economic contracts.
