Yes, a put or a call option that expires into a futures contract if it’s in the money. It says so in the article. You failed the test.

What article? Where?

And where do I go to collect my physically-delivered VIX option contract. It is on 8 1/2' x 11' or legal size paper?

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it? The snippet from the article that @ajacobson posted says explicitly “Plans to allow traders to receive volatility index (VIX) futures to settle options at Cboe Global Markets”.

This approach is not any different than physically settled options on ES which settle into a futures contract. It’s not clear, however, if these are gonna be listed as futures options on CFE or have some sort of bizarre EFP delivery scheme on CBOE and require both futures+equity accounts.

Will be interesting to see how they structure it. Since they have both weekly and monthly futures, which ones will the dailies deliver? If they deliver futures, this may keep many brokers from offering them such as Fidelity.

Well, I just called someone I know at CBOE and she said it’s gonna be midcurve futures options, settling into monthlys. Fully covered by SPAN magin. For once, their actions actually make sense lol.

Intersting, thanks for the update. So unless you have a futures account, you won't be able to trade these. And guessing the will be regulated by the CFTC not SEC?
Did they give you a projected date when they plan to start trading?
