Cboe Global Markets Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) has announced plans to introduce the first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42071163/blackrock-spot-bitcoin-etf-options-on-nasdaq-rack-up-9-figure-trading-volume-in-first-few-hours-seems-very-bullish-says-analyst">cash-settled index options</a> tied to Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) spot price.
What Happened: These new financial instruments are <a href="https://ir.cboe.com/news/news-details/2024/Cboe-to-Launch-the-First-Cash-Settled-Options-Product-Related-to-Spot-Bitcoin-Beginning-Monday-December-2/default.aspx">scheduled</a> for launch on Dec. 2 and will be based on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index, which tracks a selection of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/spot-bitcoin-etf">spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> listed in the United States.
The move is part of a broader trend of integrating cryptocurrency-related securities into traditional financial markets.
This announcement comes shortly after Nasdaq began listing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42058823/blackrocks-spot-bitcoin-etf-to-open-for-options-trading-heres-why-it-could-be-a-big-deal-for-bitcoin">spot Bitcoin ETF options</a> earlier this week, enabling U.S. investors to use derivatives to speculate on Bitcoin&#8217;s price movements or hedge their existing positions.
Cboe's initiative adds to the growing suite of crypto-related trading products available in the regulated U.S. market.
Historically, the majority of crypto derivatives trading, such as options and futures, has taken place on offshore platforms due to restrictive U.S. regulations.

Binance and Deribit, both headquartered outside the U.S., have been the dominant players in this space, offering leveraged trading to their users.
However, the increasing appetite for crypto derivatives in the U.S., coupled with President-elect Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">pro-crypto stance</a>, is driving U.S.-based marketplaces to expand their offerings.
Why It Matters: This shift has allowed institutional and retail investors to access new tools for managing risk and amplifying returns.
CME Group, which already offers Bitcoin futures, has reported a significant increase in open interest, reflecting heightened activity from institutional investors. 
This growth has begun to erode Binance's market share. 
Additionally, over-the-counter options trading has emerged as a popular strategy among U.S. institutions seeking to hedge their crypto positions or implement more complex trading strategies.

Cboe To Launch Cash-Settled Bitcoin Index Options

In a recent interview, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang shared his thoughts on the company's focus on supply as demand remains "incredible," a development that was a big topic in the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42099904/nvidia-q3-earnings-highlights">recent financial results.</a>
What Happened: Although Nvidia stock has dipped since its third-quarter results, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42119226/nvidia-analysts-see-stock-best-positioned-in-ai-not-worried-about-guidance-all-systems-go-for-blackwell-ramp">analysts remain unfazed</a>, pointing to surging demand for Blackwell chips.
During an appearance on Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown," Huang was asked about the problem many CEOs would love to have of demand being greater than supply.
"Hopper and Blackwell are two just magnificent computing systems," Huang <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6365013367112">said</a>.
Huang said demand is strong for data centers to get their hands on Blackwell chips.
"We're going to go from zero billion dollars of Blackwell to many billions of dollars of Blackwell. And so, it's going to be an incredible thing. But the demand is just incredible."
During the interview, Huang was asked about the large number of customers and big-name customers who have placed orders and the process for determining which customers get their Blackwell chips first.
"We try to be fair with everyone so that they can all get their AI infrastructure up and running. We also make sure that their infrastructure is ready. And so, between us and them, there's no sense shipping computers if the data center and the power and the readiness of the system is not there," Huang said.
Huang highlighted Alphabet, Dell and CoreWeave as companies who have expressed their optimism. "Everybody's really proud of the system they've stood up and we're all just racing to get there."
Huang said Nvidia does pricing "based on the value delivered."
"In a lot of ways, it's kind of like generating electricity in the last industrial revolution, and there are all this machinery, these large machinery called A.C. generators, and they produce electricity. We're now producing this miracle called artificial intelligence."

</ul>
What's Next: Huang said the company is "in good shape" and confident in its Blackwell production ramp.
"Our demand is greater than our supply. And so, we need to get more out," Huang said.
Huang said Nvidia is working with thousands of AI native companies and it's hard to have infrastructure available for all of them.
"We're working super hard to get there as fast as we can, which is the reason why we're ramping Blackwell so hard."
Nvidia's success comes largely in the United States, Huang added. The CEO sees an opportunity to continue to expand to other countries.
"Over time and very quickly, whether it's in the west or in the east, we're going to see just about every single country jumping onto this A.I. revolution, this age of A.I."
Huang brushed off concerns that AI will take over the world and take all the jobs.
"AI can do a lot of tasks, but they can't do 100% of our jobs. That's the big idea."
Huang said AI is going to revolutionize and transform jobs and it's important that people learn how to use AI.
"What is very likely is that AI will do 20, 30, 40% of 100% of the jobs in the world."
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 3% to $142.10 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $45.01 to $152.89. Nvidia stock is up 195% year-to-date, but has fallen 1% over the last month.

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.
After a thorough review of the options trading surrounding Alphabet, we move to examine the company in more detail. This includes an assessment of its current market status and performance.
<h3>Present Market Standing of Alphabet</h3>
<ul>
<li>With a volume of 23,824,736, the price of GOOGL is down -1.64% at $164.88. </li>

Our focus and momentum fuel my confidence in our ability to deliver outstanding results for customers and shareholders."
The company said it sees FY25 revenue of $6.54 billion to $6.74 billion and GAAP earnings of $5.48 to $5.68 per share, with non-GAAP EPS of $7.20 to $7.40.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Frenzy Shifts</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-ai-frenzy-shift-software-stocks-igv-smh-mc-11222024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart comparing VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGV#BATS">IGV</a>).&nbsp;
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The Arora Report previously shared with readers that the next stage of AI would benefit software stocks.&nbsp; This is beginning to happen now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows software ETF IGV has moved up since the presidential election.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows that IGV has outperformed semiconductor ETF SMH by about 10% since the election.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The Arora Report algorithms show money is flowing out of semiconductors and into software.</li>
<li>AI allows work processes to be totally reimagined compared to work processes of today.&nbsp; Work processes of today are implemented with legacy software.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, it is an order of magnitude more efficient to use reimagined processes with AI native software.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, there is a battle brewing among software companies for market share when it comes to AI capabilities.&nbsp; Legacy software companies have existing customers and cash to invest in AI.&nbsp; Legacy software companies are bolting on AI offerings.&nbsp; AI native software companies have an edge technologically.&nbsp; However, they do not have an existing market share.&nbsp; Promising AI native software companies are privately held.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The foregoing tells us that AI will end up decimating some software companies while others will go to new heights.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Investors need to look forward.&nbsp; Right now, most investors who are investing in software companies are looking backwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Looking forward to 2030, the best way to capture AI opportunities in software companies is to combine the following three:
<ul>
<li>Profiting from a base position in a software ETF.&nbsp; The Arora Report's software ETF of choice is IGV.&nbsp; As full disclosure, IGV is in The Arora Report's ZYX Allocation Model Portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Profiting from individual software company stocks that are evolving and keeping pace with AI developments and retaining and attracting customers.&nbsp; An example is PLTR and as full disclosure, PLTR was recently added to The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Profiting from shorting software companies whose business models are being hurt by AI.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A judicious combination of the foregoing will produce significantly higher risk adjusted returns, compared to using only one of the three in your investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In the early trade, the momo crowd is aggressively buying junk stocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China</h3>
Chinese stocks are ultra cheap.&nbsp; The rally in Chinese stock has stalled after Trump's re-election.&nbsp; Trump wants to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese goods.&nbsp; In the face of Trump's threat, China's 10 year note auction saw strong demand.&nbsp; The pricing was close to the record low yield.&nbsp; This data point indicates that investors believe China will manage just fine with Trump's tariffs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In The Arora Report analysis, it is important to keep track of such data points. &nbsp;If there are more such data points, it will be time to step into Chinese stocks because they are so cheap.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).&nbsp;
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is approaching $100K. SEC Chair Gensler has said that he will resign on Trump's inauguration day.&nbsp; Gensler has been anti-bitcoin.&nbsp; Even though Gensler's resignation was expected, as Trump has said he would replace Gensler, buying came into bitcoin on the news.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.&nbsp;
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.
