The Volatility Exchange has developed patented, standardized financial instruments based on the inter-day realized volatility of an underlying asset. VolX offers VolContract futures, VolShare securities, and VolSwap instruments to market participants seeking advanced risk-management tools in a regulated and transparent environment. In addition, it has designed the VolX indices to guide trading decisions.
The Exchange plans to file with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) to be a Designated Contract Market (DCM). It
will partner with established marketplaces globally and
as an exchange will outsource its around-the-clock trading
execution, clearing, compliance, and surveillance functions.
The strategy is not to compete with current exchanges
but to take portfolio diversification and risk control
to the next level.

VolContract futures are instruments whose settlement is based on the realized volatility of an underlying asset, instrument, or index. The contracts are available in durations of one month, three months, and, subsequently, one year, and expire to the actual close-to-close volatility displayed by the asset, as calculated by the VolX formula. Never before have market participants had access to such a powerful risk-management tool that can be traded simply, efficiently, and at low cost.
VolContract futures promise to be the next generation in volatility
trading, worldwide.
