"Goldman Sachs options strategists Krag Gregory and Jose Gonzalo Rangel have the details:
The pace in 2013 has been even more remarkable for VIX options where the year-to-date average daily volume is running at a record high of 614,658 contracts – that is 1.4x the 2012 average and 22.4x the 2006 average.
VIX options had a record setting January: A breakdown of average daily volume by calendar month shows that VIX option average daily volume recorded an all-time high in January 2013 while S&P 500 options were in their 90th percentile relative to a 10-year history."
