據報道，納斯達克要求 SEC 批准比特幣 (BTC) 指數選擇權

全球第一家電子證券交易所正在請求美國最高證券監管機構批准比特幣（BTC）指數選擇權。

Nasdaq is reportedly seeking approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) to launch Bitcoin (BTC) index options.

據報道，納斯達克正在尋求美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的批准推出比特幣（BTC）指數選擇權。

According to a new report from Reuters, the world’s first electronic stock exchange is asking the top US securities regulator to approve the new product, called the Nasdaq Bitcoin Index Options (XBTX).

根據路透社最新報道，全球首家電子證券交易所正在請求美國最高證券監管機構批准名為納斯達克比特幣指數選擇權（XBTX）的新產品。

The SEC has yet to approve options on any of the spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that launched in January. This includes an application from Nasdaq to trade options on BlackRock’s $21.3 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

美國證券交易委員會尚未批准 1 月推出的任何現貨 BTC 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的選擇權。其中包括納斯達克提出的貝萊德 213 億美元 iShares 比特幣信託 ETF 選擇權交易申請。

“It’s important for options on bitcoin to be available for this asset class to be fully normalized,” said Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of crypto exchange Bitwise, in an interview with Axios.

加密貨幣交易所 Bitwise 首席投資長 Matt Hougan 在接受 Axios 採訪時表示：“比特幣期權的推出對於這一資產類別的完全正常化非常重要。”

“We’re missing a part of the liquidity picture that ETF options would provide.”

“我們缺乏 ETF 選擇權所能提供的部分流動性。”

Options are derivative contracts that give the holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified price and within a specified time frame. They can serve as a tool for traders seeking leverage and risk management.

選擇權是衍生性商品合約，賦予持有人在指定時間範圍內以指定價格買賣標的資產的權利。它們可以作為尋求槓桿和風險管理的交易者的工具。

Applications for Bitcoin ETF options began pouring in after the SEC approved spot BTC ETFs in January. However, several exchanges have since withdrawn and resubmitted their applications to address comments from the SEC.

自 1 月 SEC 批准現貨 BTC ETF 以來，比特幣 ETF 選擇權的申請開始大量湧入。然而，數家交易所隨後撤回並重新提交申請，以回應 SEC 的意見。
