Vaneck批评SEC，因为列出期权交易的提案延迟回应

Vaneck数字资产研究负责人Matthew Sigel批评了美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的响应延迟

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数字资产研究负责人Matthew Sigel对美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的延迟响应表示沮丧，以列出该公司比特币ETF的期权交易的提案。

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标记了SEC加密特遣部队负责人Hester Pierce，强调委员会对CBOE提出的提议发布了延迟的响应，该提议在Vaneck Bitcoin ETF（HODL）上列出了交易方案，没有任何评论或反馈。

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.

芝加哥交易委员会（CBOE）于4月3日提出了拟议的规则更改，以列出资产管理公司的旗舰加密货币交易所交易基金（ETF）的期权交易，该基金（ETF）于4月3日被称为Defi ETF。期权交易将授予投资者在特定日期之前以特定价格购买和出售比特币的权利。

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.

在美国比特币现场ETF取得了巨大的成功之后，SEC在8月份批准了几项，期权交易成为一种潜在的市场扩张方式，几家资产管理人员提交了申请，以向其各自的ETF提供期权。

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已经批准了该请求的多个比特币ETF，包括Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund（FBTC），BlackRock Ishares BitCoin Trust（IBIT），Grayscale Bitcale Bitcale Bitcoin Mini Trust（BTC）和比特币比特币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，在最初的为期45天的审查之后，委员会决定推迟有关CBOE关于在Vaneck Bitcoin ETF（HODL）上列出交易期权的提议的回应。

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

Sigel将这一决定描述为“令人沮丧”，并没有为投资者提供透明度。

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

在对皮尔斯（Pierce）进行标记时，执行官抱怨说，委员会发出了延迟的响应，同时没有提供任何评论或反馈以及此决定。

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…

这是第一个决定日期，因此即使解决了SEC的初步评论，也没有被拒绝，只是延迟了。缺乏任何反馈特别令人讨厌……

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

Vaneck Exec进一步解释了资产经理对这一开发的反对，同时回应用户评论。他说。

“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.”

“这是第一个决定日期，已经被推迟了。尽管他们提出了提高最初评论的建议，但他们似乎并不打算就他们的决定提供任何反馈。”

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的延迟响应是与数字资产与ETF相关的提案的共同响应。委员会可以选择等到申请后240天的最终决定截止日期，即2024年的比特币现场ETF所见。

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，西格尔的担忧是由于缺乏对这项延迟裁决的解释，尤其是考虑到已批准了某些其他比特币现场ETF的期权交易。

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.
