The review will scrutinize whether exchanges’ current surveillance and enforcement mechanisms are sufficient to manage the distinctive characteristics of Bitcoin options.Various exchanges, including Cboe Exchange, Inc., BOX Exchange LLC, MIAX International Securities Exchange LLC, Nasdaq ISE, LLC, and NYSE American LLC, have submitted requests to enable options trading on recently approved spot bitcoin ETFs, as disclosed in the SEC’s filing published on Thursday.Nasdaq’s application would list and trade options tied to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, while Cboe intends to facilitate options trading across a spectrum of ETPs holding Bitcoin.\nThe SEC has extended the review period for allowing options trading on Grayscale and Bitwise Bitcoin ETFs, with a new decision date set for May 29.#SEC #BTCETFhttps://t.co/5HCxjgTaEh\n— Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 9, 2024Interested parties are invited to submit their initial comments within 21 days following the official registration of the document, setting the final deadline for May 15. Additionally, rebuttal comments may be submitted until May 29.The agency also questioned whether options trading on spot bitcoin ETFs should adhere to the same regulations as stocks.“Whether options on the specified Bitcoin ETPs should be subject to the same position limits as options on stock, and whether the available supply in the markets for Bitcoin should be considered in establishing position limits for options on Bitcoin ETPs,” the filing read.Bitcoin options are financial instruments that grant the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell Bitcoin at a predetermined price by a specified date. Typically utilized by traders well-versed in option pricing and market dynamics, options trading, similar to other investments, carries inherent risks that may not align with all investors’ risk tolerance levels.SEC Delays Decision on Options Trading for Bitcoin ETPs\n😱 Public Input Sought by SEC on Bitwise, Grayscale Bitcoin ETF Options\nRead more below 👇\n— Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) February 25, 2024The SEC previously solicited feedback on the proposed rule amendment and has incorporated the received commentary in its filing.
