Crypto derivatives are moving into the regulated mainstream.
Following the 2024 launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the CFTC approved Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual futures contract on May 29, 2026 — the first time this once-exotic crypto product has landed on a regulated U.S. exchange. CFTC Chair Selig has signaled that approvals for other asset classes are likely to follow, and in a recent interview he compared perpetual futures to "zero day options." That comparison has prompted a wave of investor questions about how perpetual futures ("perpetuals") stack up against zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE) options.
Cboe's latest Volatility Insights report argues the comparison, while understandable on the surface, breaks down once you look past leverage and into payoff structure, risk, and actual investor behavior.

Why It Matters
The VIX Index may give investors a way to gauge uncertainty even when prices look calm on the surface.
Monitoring it alongside equity exposure may support a more complete picture of the risk environment.
Understanding what it measures, and what it doesn’t, is the foundation for everything in this volatility series.
