The US options market is set for a significant structural shift as Nasdaq prepares to launch Monday and Wednesday expirations for zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options on a select group of mega-cap stocks and a leading Bitcoin ETF.
The new contracts, scheduled to begin trading on January 26, 2026, will apply to:
List of Qualifying Securities for Monday/Wednesday Expirations | |
Security Underlying | Earnings Date (Excluded Expirations) |
| Apple Inc.(AAPL.US) | Thursday, January 29, 2026 |
| Amazon.com, Inc.(AMZN.US) | Thursday, February 5, 2026 |
| Broadcom Limited(AVGO.US) | TBD - Anticipated Early March 2026 |
| Alphabet Inc. Class A(GOOGL.US) | Wednesday, February 4, 2026 |
| Shares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT.US) | N/A |
| Meta Platforms(META.US) | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 |
| Microsoft Corporation(MSFT.US) | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 |
| NVIDIA Corporation(NVDA.US) | Wednesday, February 25, 2026 |
| Tesla Motors, Inc.(TSLA.US) | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 |
This expansion responds to growing demand for more frequent, short-dated options, which allow investors to make high-leverage bets on daily price movements.
Previously, single-stock 0DTE options were largely limited to weekly Friday expiries.
The change enables traders to react to intra-week events, such as economic data releases or technical breakouts, with greater precision.
