In this exclusive interview from Robinhood’s HOOD Summit 2025, Vincent Cicco, Senior Director of Derivatives Sales at Cboe Global Markets, breaks down the key differences between index options (SPX, XSP, RUT) and ETF options (like SPY) — from cash settlement to European style exercise and 60/40 tax treatment.
Cicco also explains why XSP is the fastest-growing Cboe index option, with contract volume surging past 100,000 per day, thanks to expanded access from Robinhood and other brokers. He shares how improved market quality, tighter spreads, and growing product awareness are fueling demand — both in the U.S. and internationally.
