Today, in US stock market options, expiration is at a record $8,300,000,000,000 (quad/triple witching).



The previous record was about $7.1 trillion in December 2025. Now, expiration is 18% larger: more than half of the volume is in options on #SPX с with morning settlement.

Due to the US holiday (Juneteenth / Emancipation Day), expiration was moved from Friday to Thursday. The term “triple/quad witching” (witching Friday / day of triple magic) refers to the simultaneous expiration of options on stocks, index futures contracts, and derivative contracts on index futures options four times a year.
