The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a rule change allowing the New York Stock Exchange to list options on multi-cryptocurrency commodity trusts. This marks a significant expansion from the previous allowance of options only on single-cryptocurrency trusts. Under the new rule, each cryptocurrency within a trust must meet stringent liquidity standards, including an average daily market value of at least $700 million over the past year. Additionally, derivative contracts for these cryptocurrencies must be traded on platforms with robust surveillance-sharing agreements. The SEC's decision aims to provide investors with broader exposure and hedging tools for cryptocurrency assets, while streamlining market operations by removing the need for individual SEC approvals for each new trust.
