In this special FILMED episode of Boxes and Lines (watch here!), Ronan and JR welcome John Palmer and Ivan Brown, who are leading IEX’s charge into the options market. They get into what makes options different from equities, explain the rise of 0DTE (zero-day-to-expiration) contracts, and talk about the unique risks market makers face in a quote-driven ecosystem. They share why now is the right time for IEX to launch an options exchange, how IEX’s Signal aims to protect stale quotes, and what makes this effort more than just a me-too market. Plus: JR's love for lazy rivers, 40 types of jelly, and Ronan’s lunchtime cocktail. Whether you're deep in the weeds or just options-curious, this episode peels back the layers of what’s going on in the market today.
