Nasdaq asks to list options on spot Ethereum ETFs — Filing
Exchanges are still waiting on permission to list options on spot Bitcoin ETFs, too.
Nasdaq’s options exchange asked United States regulators to permit options trading on spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to an Aug. 6 regulatory filing.
Nasdaq’s proposed rule change would apply exclusively to Blackrock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which is the only Ether (ETH) ETF listed on Nasdaq’s electronic exchange. The others are listed on the New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) Arca or Cboe.
The filing marks an important step towards widespread adoption of ETH ETFs, which listed in July and and proceeded to attract approximately $1.5 billion in net inflows, according to Morningstar.
