纽约证券交易所和纳斯达克在 SEC 要求后撤回比特币和以太币 ETF 期权规则变更

此次提款是美国围绕现货 BTC 和 ETH ETF 期权的一系列活动中的最新一起。

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American and Nasdaq International Securities Exchange (ISE) have withdrawn three more requests to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for rule changes related to listing options on Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH )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.

纽约证券交易所 (NYSE) 美国和纳斯达克国际证券交易所 (ISE) 撤回了向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提出的三项有关比特币 ( BTC ) 和以太币 ( ETH ) 交易所上市期权相关规则变更的请求 -根据 8 月 14 日和 15 日收盘后提交的监管文件，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.”

这些文件是在 7 月份 SEC 发表声明要求对这些提案发表更多评论之后提交的。纳斯达克 ISE 撤回了允许分别代表比特币和以太信托股票的期权上市和交易的请求。纽约证券交易所美国公司同样撤回了“允许 Bitwise 比特币 ETF、灰度比特币信托 (BTC) 以及任何持有比特币的信托上市和交易期权”的请求。

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.

纽约证券交易所 Arca 撤回了另一项旨在为加密 ETF 期权上市铺平道路的规则变更请求。根据纳斯达克 5 月份的评论，该交易所试图证明“交易所提议列出期权的每个指定比特币 ETP 的股票均‘广泛持有且交易活跃’，符合交易所规则的要求”。

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the largest crypto fund issuer with about $25 billion in assets under management (AUM), urged the SEC to “update its outdated historical patchwork approach and “approve the Exchanges’ applications to list options on spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products,” including the Grayscale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，管理资产（AUM）约 250 亿美元的最大加密货币基金发行人 Grayscale 敦促 SEC“更新其过时的历史拼凑方法，并“批准交易所在现货比特币交易所交易产品上列出期权的申请” ”，包括灰度比特币信托基金（GBTC）。

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

分析师表示，此次撤资可能表明交易所与美国证券交易委员会之间就加密 ETF 期权上市达成协议的积极势头。

“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.”

彭博资讯 (Bloomberg Intelligence) 分析师詹姆斯·塞法特 (James Seyffart) 在 X 上的一篇文章中表示：“比特币 ETF 期权肯定会发生一些变化。美国证券交易委员会可能会提供某种反馈。”

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.

美国投资者目前可以使用衍生品交易追踪 BTC 表现的 ETF 期权，但不能交易实际持有比特币本身的 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：“如果投资者可以接受投资持有资产衍生品的产品股票期权，那么投资拥有该资产本身的产品股票期权也应该如此。”
