Giancarlo Saraceno Selected to Ring the Cboe Closing Bell Alongside NIBA

January 28,2026 @03:42 AM

Giancarlo Saraceno of EdgeClear will join the members of the National Introducing Brokers Association (NIBA)  in ringing the Cboe Closing Bell on February 3rd at Cboe Global Markets in Chicago.

The Cboe Closing Bell is a longstanding tradition that marks the end of trading for select Cboe options products. Taking place at 3:15 p.m. CT on the historic Cboe trading floor, the ceremony features a guest pulling a ceremonial tassel to ring the bellsignaling the close of the session. While modern markets operate electronically, the bell remains a powerful symbol of the exchange’s deep roots in open outcry trading and its continued role in global financial markets.

Being selected for this honor represents a meaningful moment for Giancarlo, NIBA, and EdgeClear. The invitation reflects ongoing contributions to the futures and options industry and highlights the role introducing brokers play in supporting market access, education, and client service.

Cboe Global Markets is one of the world’s largest exchange operators, with Chicago serving as a historic hub for options trading. The Closing Bell ceremony serves not only as an audible signal that trading has ended for the day, but also as a moment for reflection, market analysis, and preparation for the next session.

EdgeClear and NIBA invite industry professionals, partners, and the broader trading community to tune in and watch the Cboe Closing Bell ceremony on February 3rd.

Additional viewing details and links will be shared closer to the event.
