TechFlow news — Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said that options on spot Bitcoin ETFs could launch in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2025. During a panel discussion at the Permissionless conference on October 9, Seyffart stated, “I think options on spot Bitcoin ETFs might launch before the end of this year, but it’s more likely to happen in the first quarter of 2025.”
In September, the U.S. SEC authorized Nasdaq to list options tied to BlackRock's IBIT. The proposal is now awaiting final approval from the CFTC and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Seyffart added, “Unlike the SEC, the CFTC and OCC don’t have strict deadlines, so they could delay further if they choose to.”
