ErisX was a Chicago-based digital asset exchange and clearing house that operated from 2018 until it was rebranded as Cboe Digital in 2022. The company emerged from Eris Exchange, a derivatives platform founded in 2010 that offered cash-settled swap futures, and pivoted to cryptocurrency trading under the ErisX name in October 2018.[1][2]
Design and History
The ErisX trademark application, filed in September 2018, describes the mark as consisting of “four stacked parallel bars of unequal lengths in the color teal above the stylized wording ‘ERISX’, appearing in navy blue.” The application explicitly claims teal and navy blue as features of the mark.[3]
The ErisX brand was introduced on October 3, 2018, when the company announced its formation as the successor to Eris Exchange, a designated contract market that listed interest rate swap futures products. At that time, the company announced plans to launch a derivatives exchange and clearing organization that would include regulated digital asset futures and spot contracts on one platform.[1]
ErisX publicly launched its spot market in April 2019,[4] and in July 2019 the CFTC granted Eris Clearing, LLC registration as a derivatives clearing organization.[5]
In October 2021, Cboe Global Markets announced it was acquiring Eris Digital Holdings, with the acquired business set to be renamed Cboe Digital.[6] The rebrand to Cboe Digital took effect in early October 2022.[7]
Meaning and Symbolism
The trademark filing describes only the visual elements and the claimed colors, without attributing meaning to them.[3]
Typography and Design
The trademark filing describes the wordmark as “stylized wording ‘ERISX’, appearing in navy blue,” but does not identify the typeface used.[3]
