Registration for this webinar will open in early October.
Explore how leveraged exchange-traded funds and zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options are changing the mechanics of U.S. equity markets. This webinar will examine how these rapidly growing products affect trading volume, liquidity, volatility, and market dynamics—particularly during periods of market stress. We’ll unpack the mechanics behind their exposures, examine the channels through which activity in these products can transmit to the broader market, and consider what the trends may mean for investors, market makers, and the stability of the financial system.
