They include options on Bitwise Ethereum ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Trust, and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust, as well as “any trust that holds Ether,” the filing said.

United States regulators are reviewing a request to list the first options tied to spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on NYSE American’s securities exchange, according to a Nov. 8 filing.

If approved, NYSE would be authorized to list options on Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW), Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), and “any trust that holds Ether,” the filing said.

The SEC’s decision is the latest sign the agency may be softening its stance on cryptocurrency products, particularly after crypto-friendly Donald Trump’s Nov. 5 presidential election win.

The SEC notice seemed to be an industry first after the commission approved the listing and trading of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on US exchanges in January.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave Nasdaq the go-ahead to list and trade shares of options for BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, or ETF.

In a Sept. 20 notice, the SEC approved options trading for the iShares Bitcoin Trust under the ticker symbol IBIT on Nasdaq. According to Nasdaq, the exchange will allow trading for options on the Bitcoin (BTC) ETF “in the same manner” as other ETF options, subject to the same rules.

“Options on IBIT will be physically settled with American-style exercise,” said the SEC notice. “The Exchange stated that options on IBIT will be subject to the Exchange’s respective initial and continued listing standards. The Exchange’s initial listing standards require, among other things, that the security underlying a listed option be ‘characterized by a substantial number of outstanding shares that are widely held and actively traded.’”
