Nasdaq Seeks SEC Approval to Offer Options Trading on BlackRock’s Spot Ethereum ETF
📈
BlackRock has proposed trading and listing options on its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) via Nasdaq.
Submitted to the SEC, the move leverages BlackRock’s and Nasdaq’s experience with commodity ETFs.
Unlike direct ETH investments, this ETF includes only ETH assets, with Coinbase and Bank of New York Mellon managing assets.
Their experience with options on commodity ETFs, like gold and silver, positions them well for this step.
While SEC approval is pending, filtering options through OCC and CFTC also plays a part.
BlackRock dominates the spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF market, with significant net assets attributed to its trusts.
