Nasdaq has filed a rule change with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to eliminate position limits on options tied to spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move aims to align crypto derivatives with traditional commodity-based funds. The SEC has waived the standard 30-day waiting period, allowing the change to take effect immediately, while retaining the right to suspend it within 60 days if necessary. The proposal seeks to lift the 25,000-contract cap on options linked to Bitcoin and Ether ETFs listed on Nasdaq, including those from major firms like BlackRock and Fidelity. Nasdaq argues that this change will enable digital assets to be treated similarly to other listed options, without compromising investor protection. The SEC has opened a comment period on the proposal, with a final decision expected by late February unless further review is required.
