据报道，纳斯达克要求 SEC 批准比特币 (BTC) 指数期权

全球第一家电子证券交易所正在请求美国最高证券监管机构批准比特币（BTC）指数期权。

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

据报道，纳斯达克正在寻求美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的批准推出比特币（BTC）指数期权。

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).

据路透社最新报道，全球首家电子证券交易所正在请求美国最高证券监管机构批准名为纳斯达克比特币指数期权（XBTX）的新产品。

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.

美国证券交易委员会尚未批准 1 月份推出的任何现货 BTC 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的期权。其中包括纳斯达克提出的贝莱德 213 亿美元 iShares 比特币信托 ETF 期权交易申请。

“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.

加密货币交易所 Bitwise 首席投资官 Matt Hougan 在接受 Axios 采访时表示：“比特币期权的推出对于这一资产类别的完全正常化非常重要。”

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

“我们缺少 ETF 期权所能提供的部分流动性。”

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.

期权是衍生品合约，赋予持有人在指定时间范围内以指定价格买卖标的资产的权利。它们可以作为寻求杠杆和风险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 However, several exchanges have since withdrawn and resubmitted their applications to address comments from the SEC.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 月份 SEC 批准现货 BTC ETF 以来，比特币 ETF 期权的申请开始大量涌入。然而，数家交易所随后撤回并重新提交申请，以回应 SEC 的意见。
