纳斯达克计划在美国证券交易委员会批准后推出并交易比特币指数期权

纳斯达克正在等待美国证券交易委员会监管机构的批准，推出比特币指数期权并进行交易，此举可能为机构投资者和交易者提供另一种方式来对冲比特币风险。

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is yet to approve any options based on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track spot bitcoin prices, despite Nasdaq’s application to trade options on BlackRock’s $21.3 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

尽管纳斯达克已申请对贝莱德价值 213 亿美元的 iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF 进行期权交易，但美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 尚未批准任何基于追踪比特币现货价格的交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的期权。

However, the SEC has approved several options on ETFs that track bitcoin futures prices, such as the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE: BITO). These options provide institutional investors and traders with an alternative way to gain exposure to bitcoin.

然而，美国证券交易委员会已经批准了多种跟踪比特币期货价格的 ETF 期权，例如 ProShares 比特币策略 ETF（纽约证券交易所代码：BITO）。这些选项为机构投资者和交易者提供了另一种获得比特币的方式。

According to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, having choices is crucial for fully normalizing bitcoin as an asset class. He argues that these options could effectively fill the gap in the liquidity environment created by the lack of ETF choices.

Bitwise 首席投资官 Matt Hougan 表示，有选择对于比特币作为一种资产类别的完全正常化至关重要。他认为，这些选择可以有效填补由于缺乏 ETF 选择而造成的流动性环境的空白。

“For a complete market structure to be created for bitcoin, these ETF options are necessary to enhance liquidity and provide investors with more powerful tools,” Hougan said.

“为了为比特币创建一个完整的市场结构，这些 ETF 期权对于增强流动性并为投资者提供更强大的工具是必要的，”Hougan 说。

The proposed Nasdaq Bitcoin Index Options will track the CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index, a benchmark created by CF Benchmarks that analyzes bitcoin futures and options contracts on the CME Group exchange.

拟议的纳斯达克比特币指数期权将跟踪 CME CF 比特币实时指数，这是由 CF Benchmarks 创建的基准，用于分析 CME 集团交易所的比特币期货和期权合约。

These index options could play a crucial role in normalizing bitcoin as an asset class, filling a liquidity gap by providing ETF options. Options are derivatives that give traders a cost-effective way to amplify their purchasing power, while institutional investors use them to hedge against risk.

这些指数期权可以在比特币作为一种资产类别正常化方面发挥至关重要的作用，通过提供 ETF 期权来填补流动性缺口。期权是一种衍生品，为交易者提供了一种经济有效的方式来增强他们的购买力，而机构投资者则利用它们来对冲风险。

As the SEC continues to evaluate these options, traders have turned to alternative products, such as leveraged ETFs linked to bitcoin and options on those funds.

随着 SEC 继续评估这些期权，交易者已转向替代产品，例如与比特币相关的杠杆 ETF 和这些基金的期权。

Following the SEC's approval of the underlying ETFs in January, exchanges initially filed applications for spot bitcoin ETF options. However, these applications have since been amended in response to comments from the SEC.

继 1 月份 SEC 批准基础 ETF 后，交易所最初提交了现货比特币 ETF 期权申请。然而，这些申请后来根据 SEC 的意见进行了修改。
