The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and C2 Options Exchange plan to list options on Alibaba Group on 29 September.

The plan is contingent on Alibaba meeting new options listing criteria.
 
Alibaba, founded in 1999, is the largest online and mobile commerce company in the world in terms of gross merchandise volume. The company provides the fundamental technology infrastructure and marketing reach for businesses using the Internet to establish an online presence and conduct commerce with consumers and other businesses.
 
CBOE and C2 will announce an official start date for Alibaba options when the OCC confirms CBOE's and C2's certifications.
