What the X crowd is saying right now — descriptive, summarised from the day’s posts.
Cboe fell roughly 27% across two sessions immediately after its best quarter in history, with the entire exchange complex (CBOE, CME, ICE, MIAX) sold on the CFTC's approval of regulated perpetual crypto futures for Kalshi and Coinbase — investors fearing structural competition to traditional exchange products. The contrarian thread is unusually well-positioned: 40% EBITDA growth, forward P/E 19.2 at first visit to the 200-DMA since April 2025, traders building positions with defined-risk gamma-heavy spreads, and bulls arguing competitors are 5-10 years from being true threats. Goldman Sachs published on the recent price action. The two camps are genuinely opposed on the same regulatory headline.
