纳斯达克向 SEC 提交推出比特币指数期权（XBTX）的申请

该指数代表了加密货币交易所的当前交易，这些交易将是现货期权。这补充了与比特币期货挂钩的现有芝商所期权。

Nasdaq has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch Nasdaq Bitcoin Index Options (XBTX), in partnership with CF Benchmarks, the creator of the CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI). The offering is subject to SEC approval.

纳斯达克已向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提交申请，与 CME CF 比特币实时指数 (BRTI) 的创建者 CF Benchmarks 合作推出纳斯达克比特币指数期权 (XBTX)。此次发行尚需获得 SEC 批准。

The index will track the current trades on cryptocurrency exchanges and will be spot options, complementing the existing CME Options that are linked to bitcoin futures.

该指数将跟踪加密货币交易所的当前交易，并将作为现货期权，补充与比特币期货挂钩的现有 CME 期权。

“Spot options settling to BRRNY (CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate – New York Variant) will build upon the hugely successful BTC futures and options contracts offered by CME,” said Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks. “Together these regulated crypto derivatives will give investors the confidence to deploy more nuanced ways to gain exposure to the largest digital asset and will complement the spot ETFs that have already proved so popular with investors.”

CF Benchmarks 首席执行官 Sui Chung 表示：“以 BRRNY（CME CF 比特币参考利率 - 纽约变体）结算的现货期权将建立在 CME 提供的非常成功的 BTC 期货和期权合约的基础上。” “这些受监管的加密货币衍生品将让投资者有信心采取更细致的方式来获得最大的数字资产的投资，并将补充已经证明深受投资者欢迎的现货 ETF。”

Several filings have been made for the approval of options linked to the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. This month, four proposals were withdrawn by Cboe, NYSE, Nasdaq and BOX, but a Bloomberg commentator expects to see re-filings and approval for ETF options in Q4.

与现货比特币 ETF 相关的期权已提交多份申请批准。本月，芝加哥期权交易所、纽约证券交易所、纳斯达克和 BOX 撤回了四项提案，但彭博评论员预计 ETF 期权将在第四季度重新提交并获得批准。

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) also made a filing in May for spot Bitcoin options similar to the Nadaq’s, although those are based on the Coindesk index.

纽约证券交易所 (NYSE) 也在 5 月份提交了类似于 Nadaq 的比特币现货期权备案，尽管这些期权是基于 Coindesk 指数的。
