The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently deliberating on whether to permit options trading for Ethereum (ETH) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This comes nearly a year after the approval of a spot ETH ETF.
A recent filing revealed the agency's intent to gather public opinions on a proposed rule change that would enable such options trading. The move signifies the SEC's cautious approach in considering new financial products and their potential impact on the market.
The outcome of this process could mark a significant moment for Ethereum and its investors, impacting the broader landscape of cryptocurrency financial instruments.
