The options trading for BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust could potentially commence on Nasdaq as early as November 19, based on a notice from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This development marks a significant step in the cryptocurrency market, as it hints at the growing acceptance and integration of Bitcoin into mainstream financial markets.
Such a launch would provide investors with additional means to trade and hedge their holdings, further increasing the financial instruments available within the crypto sphere. If realized, it will represent a noteworthy milestone for Bitcoin and digital assets, especially in garnering institutional interest.
