CFTC approves Rothera's Tesla earnings contract as a swap, opening a CFTC route for company KPI event contracts
The CFTC has approved a request by Rothera, the Robinhood and Susquehanna joint venture, to list a binary contract on whether Tesla reports fourth-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS above $0.65, and classes the contract as a swap. The SEC approved Cboe's binary KPI options as securities options on 13 October 2026. Both regulators now say the same company metric can be traded under either regime, depending on how the contract is structured.
