紐約證券交易所和納斯達克在 SEC 要求後撤回比特幣和以太幣 ETF 選擇權規則變更

此次提款是美國圍繞現貨 BTC 和 ETH ETF 選擇權的一系列活動中的最新一起。

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American and Nasdaq International Securities Exchange (ISE) have withdrawn three more requests to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for rule changes related to listing options on Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to regulatory filings submitted after the market close on Aug. 14 and 15.

紐約證券交易所(NYSE) 美國和納斯達克國際證券交易所(ISE) 撤回了向美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 提出的三項有關比特幣( BTC ) 和以太幣( ETH ) 交易所上市期權相關規則變更的請求 -根據 8 月 14 日和 15 日收盤後提交的監管文件，交易基金（ETF）。

The filings follow statements in July from the SEC requesting more comments on the proposals. Nasdaq ISE withdrew requests to permit the listing and trading of options representing shares of the Bitcoin and Ether trusts, respectively. NYSE American similarly withdrew requests to “permit the listing and trading of options on the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC), and any trust that holds bitcoin.”

這些文件是在 7 月 SEC 發表聲明要求對這些提案發表更多評論之後提交的。納斯達克 ISE 撤回了允許分別代表比特幣和以太信託股票的選擇權上市和交易的請求。紐約證券交易所美國公司同樣撤回了「允許 Bitwise 比特幣 ETF、灰階比特幣信託 (BTC) 以及任何持有比特幣的信託上市和交易選擇權」的請求。

NYSE Arca withdrew another requested rule change intended to pave the way for listing crypto ETF options. The exchange was seeking to demonstrate “that the shares of each of the specified Bitcoin ETPs on which an exchange proposes to list options are ‘widely held and actively traded,’ as required by the exchanges’ rules,” according to Nasdaq comments in May.

紐約證券交易所 Arca 撤回了另一項旨在為加密 ETF 期權上市鋪平道路的規則變更請求。根據納斯達克 5 月的評論，該交易所試圖證明“交易所提議列出期權的每個指定比特幣 ETP 的股票均‘廣泛持有且交易活躍’，符合交易所規則的要求”。

In February, Grayscale, the largest crypto fund issuer with about $25 billion in assets under management (AUM), urged the SEC to “update its outdated historical patchwork approach and “approve the Exchanges’ applications to list options on spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products,” including the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

今年2 月，管理資產（AUM）約250 億美元的最大加密貨幣基金發行人Grayscale 敦促SEC「更新其過時的歷史拼湊方法，並「批准交易所在現貨比特幣交易所交易產品上列出期權的申請” ”，包括灰階比特幣信託基金（GBTC）。

According to analysts, the withdrawals could indicate positive momentum toward an agreement between the exchanges and the SEC to list crypto ETF options.

分析師表示，撤資可能表明交易所與美國證券交易委員會之間就加密 ETF 選擇權上市達成協議的積極勢頭。

“There’s definitely some movement on Bitcoin ETF options,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart said in a post on X. “The SEC probably gave some sort of feedback.”

彭博資訊(Bloomberg Intelligence) 分析師詹姆斯·塞法特(James Seyffart) 在X 上的一篇文章中表示：「比特幣ETF 選擇權肯定會發生一些變化。美國證券交易委員會可能會提供某種回饋。 」

Investors in the US are currently able to trade options on ETFs that track BTC performance using derivatives but not on ETFs that physically hold Bitcoin itself.

美國投資者目前可以使用衍生性商品交易追蹤 BTC 表現的 ETF 選擇權，但不能交易實際持有比特幣本身的 ETF。

“If investing in options for shares of products holding derivatives of an asset is acceptable for investors, then so should be investing in options for shares of products that own the asset itself,” according to Grayscale's letter.

Grayscale 在信中表示：“如果投資者可以接受投資持有資產衍生品的產品股票期權，那麼投資擁有該資產本身的產品股票期權也應該如此。”
