Nasdaq Inc. is seeking regulatory approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch prediction-style binary options based on its flagship Nasdaq-100 Index, according to a report from Bloomberg. These derivative instruments would allow investors to take positions on whether the index will be above a certain price at a specific time, offering a fixed payout or nothing at all. The move signals Nasdaq’s intent to capture a share of the growing market for event-based contracts and retail-focused derivative products. If approved, the offering would provide a regulated exchange environment for these short-term instruments, catering to an increasing demand for speculative and hedging tools linked to major equity benchmarks.
