Futures Block Trades

Block Trades are permitted in Cboe Digital futures products and may be submitted in accordance with Exchange Rules 601 and 603. Prior to submitting Block Trades, firms are required to designate at least one Authorized Reporter by completing the following forms and sending to [email protected]. Parties to a Block Trade, as well as Authorized Reporters for a Block Trade, are obligated to comply with the requirements set forth in Exchange Rules 601 and 603. Any party to, or Authorized Reporter for, a Block Trade may be held responsible by the Exchange for noncompliance with those requirements. Exchange functionality currently requires that only employees of Clearing Members can be Authorized Reporters.
