Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said that options on Bitcoin spot ETFs could be launched in the United States in the first quarter of 2025.
Seyffart said in a panel discussion at the Permissionless conference on October 9: "I think it is possible to launch (Bitcoin spot ETF) options before the end of the year, but it is more likely to be in the first quarter of 2025."
In September this year, the U.S. SEC authorized Nasdaq to list options related to BlackRock IBIT, and is awaiting final approval from the CFTC and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Seyffart added: "Unlike SEC regulations, the CFTC and OCC do not have strict deadlines, so if they want, they can be further delayed." (Cointelegraph)
