Spot Bitcoin ETF Options Could Start Trading As Early As Tomorrow
Published
The availability of options is thought to possibly bring further institutional interest to the bitcoin ETFs.
Options trading on spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — a long-awaited tool that market participants believe will lure more institutional interest to crypto — could become available as soon as Tuesday, according to Nasdaq.
“Our intent at Nasdaq is to list and trade these options as early as tomorrow,” Alison Hennessy, head of ETP listings at Nasdaq, told Bloomberg TV. “Getting these options listed on IBIT into the market I think will be very exciting for investors because that’s really what we have heard from them.”
While there are currently eleven U.S.-based spot bitcoin ETFs on the market, only one of them, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), is listed on Nasdaq and could therefore have options available.
