JERSEY CITY, N.J. — January 26, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Moomoo’s 28 million investors worldwide now have access to Nasdaq’s newly launched Monday and Wednesday weekly options, as the investment platform rolled out the expanded expirations today.
The move delivers trading flexibility, allowing users to align options strategies more precisely with market events and opportunities. As a global strategic partner of Nasdaq, Moomoo celebrated the introduction of these products by livestreaming an exclusive discussion for its global community, featuring Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US, and Tanya Patwa, Head of U.S. Options Sales, Nasdaq. The conversation provided insights into these newly available options and the evolving options trading landscape.
The launch follows SEC approval for Nasdaq to expand options expirations for a premier group of high-profile securities. The list extends beyond the so called “Magnificent Seven” stocks and includes nine major names: Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), Broadcom (AVGO), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) — beyond the standard Friday expiry. This move offers traders more granularity and flexibility, aligning single-stock options closer to the daily expirations seen in major indices.
Neil McDonald of Moomoo said, “We witnessed an explosion in options trading interest throughout 2025. Our data shows the number of options transactions surged 86% year-over-year. The introduction of Monday and Wednesday options is perfectly timed. Retail investors are savvy; when provided with proper training, access, and advanced toolkits, they are fully equipped to capitalize on market opportunities.”
User sharing in Moomoo community showcases that options are more than just speculative tools. Users actively leverage options to lock in entry costs, enhance profit potential, capitalize on market swings, and build a steady income strategy.
The new expirations unlock more strategic possibilities for traders of all levels. Fundamental traders can now align options strategies more precisely with key market events like earnings reports or economic data releases. For income-focused strategies like Covered Calls or Cash-Secured Puts, traders can potentially amplify premium collection by increasing trade frequency from once (with Friday options) to three times a week.
Sophisticated short-dated (zero days to expiration) options traders can strategically position themselves to either benefit from, or protect against, the amplified gamma-driven price accelerations these very contracts can create.
Moomoo supports this strategic depth by offering up to 13 built-in options strategies, from basic to advanced, allowing for both simplicity and customization.
The enrichment of expiration cycles makes key options metrics like Implied Volatility (IV) more granular and event-sensitive. Traders must be mindful of risks, such as gamma exposure, especially around the expiration of short-dated options.
To help traders navigate this environment confidently, Moomoo provides an industry-leading suite of intuitive, real-time tools. The Options Chain presents all available contracts for a stock or an ETF, sorted by expiration date and strike price, displaying key real-time data including premiums, volume, Greeks, and IV for calls and puts, enabling quick opportunity and risk assessment.
The Options Price Calculator allows investors to model how an option’s theoretical price may change based on the three key factors: time to expiry, underlying stock price, and IV, helping in evaluating the reasonableness of a current price and planning entry/exit timing.
Moomoo is committed to investor education, offering free comprehensive online courses designed to sharpen options trading skills for beginners and advanced traders alike within its global community of over 28 million investors.
“The historic launch of Monday and Wednesday options signals a trend toward more frequent expirations, making trading more accessible and responsive,” McDonald concluded. “Moomoo is proud to be a driving force in this new era. We will continue to partner with exchanges like Nasdaq and equip our users with the best tools and education to navigate the markets effectively.”
