Vaneck批評SEC，因為列出期權交易的提案延遲回應

Vaneck數字資產研究負責人Matthew Sigel批評了美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的響應延遲

Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, expressed frustration over the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) delayed response on a proposal to list options trading on the firm’s Bitcoin ETF.

Vaneck數字資產研究負責人Matthew Sigel對美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的延遲響應表示沮喪，以列出該公司比特幣ETF的期權交易的提案。

In an X post on Wednesday, Sigel tagged Hester Pierce, the Head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, highlighting that the Commission had issued a delayed response on Cboe’s proposal to list trading options on the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) with no comments or feedback.

在周三的X帖子中，Sigel標記了SEC加密特遣部隊負責人Hester Pierce，強調委員會對CBOE提出的提議發布了延遲的響應，該提議在Vaneck Bitcoin ETF（HODL）上列出了交易方案，沒有任何評論或反饋。

The Chicago Board of Exchange (Cboe) filed a proposed rule change to list options trading on the asset management firm’s flagship cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is also known as the DeFi ETF, on April 3. The options trading would grant investors the right to buy and sell Bitcoin at a specific price before a certain date.

芝加哥交易委員會（CBOE）於4月3日提出了擬議的規則更改，以列出資產管理公司的旗艦加密貨幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的期權交易，該基金（ETF）於4月3日被稱為Defi ETF。期權交易將授予投資者在特定日期之前以特定價格購買和出售比特幣的權利。

Following the resounding success of the US Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which saw the SEC approve several in August, options trading became a potential mode of market expansion, with several asset managers submitting applications to offer options to their respective ETFs.

在美國比特幣現場ETF取得了巨大的成功之後，SEC在8月份批准了幾項，期權交易成為一種潛在的市場擴張方式，幾家資產管理人員提交了申請，以向其各自的ETF提供期權。

The SEC has already granted approval for this request for multiple Bitcoin ETFs, including the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), among others.

SEC已經批准了該請求的多個比特幣ETF，包括Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund（FBTC），BlackRock Ishares BitCoin Trust（IBIT），Grayscale Bitcale Bitcale Bitcoin Mini Trust（BTC）和比特幣比特幣ETF（BITB（BITB））等。

However, following the initial 45-day review, the Commission has decided to delay a response on Cboe’s proposal to list trading options on the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL).

但是，在最初的為期45天的審查之後，委員會決定推遲有關CBOE關於在Vaneck Bitcoin ETF（HODL）上列出交易期權的提議的回應。

This decision was described by Sigel as “frustrating” and offered no transparency to investors.

Sigel將這一決定描述為“令人沮喪”，並沒有為投資者提供透明度。

While tagging Pierce, the Exec complained that the Commission had issued a delayed response while offering no comments or feedback along with this decision.

在對皮爾斯（Pierce）進行標記時，執行官抱怨說，委員會發出了延遲的響應，同時沒有提供任何評論或反饋以及此決定。

This was the first decision date, so it has not been rejected, just delayed, even though the SEC’s initial comments were addressed. It’s the lack of any feedback that is particularly irksome…

這是第一個決定日期，因此即使解決了SEC的初步評論，也沒有被拒絕，只是延遲了。缺乏任何反饋特別令人討厭……

The VanEck Exec further explained the asset manager’s objection to this development while responding to a user comment. He said.

Vaneck Exec進一步解釋了資產經理對這一開發的反對，同時回應用戶評論。他說。

“It’s the first decision date and it has been postponed. It also seems like they're not planning to provide any feedback on their decision despite making suggestions for improvement in their initial comments.”

“這是第一個決定日期，已經被推遲了。儘管他們提出了提高最初評論的建議，但他們似乎並不打算就他們的決定提供任何反饋。”

It is highly worth noting that delayed responses by the SEC have been quite a common response for digital assets ETF-related proposals. The Commission can choose to wait till the final decision deadline, i.e., 240 days after the application, as seen with the Bitcoin Spot ETFs in 2024.

值得注意的是，SEC的延遲響應是與數字資產與ETF相關的提案的共同響應。委員會可以選擇等到申請後240天的最終決定截止日期，即2024年的比特幣現場ETF所見。

However, Sigel’s concerns stem from an absence of an explanation on this delayed ruling, especially considering that options trading has been approved for certain other Bitcoin Spot ETFs.

但是，西格爾的擔憂是由於缺乏對這項延遲裁決的解釋，尤其是考慮到已批准了某些其他比特幣現場ETF的期權交易。

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $108,349, reflecting gains of 5.23% and 17.71% in the past seven and 30 days, respectively.
