analyst: CFTC issues notice to clear obstacles for the listing of spot Bitcoin ETF options
Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, wrote on the X platform that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a notice to clear the way for the listing of spot Bitcoin ETF options, and it is expected that relevant products will be listed soon. According to information forwarded by Eric Balchunas, the clearing and risk department of the CFTC stated in an employee consultation notice that spot Bitcoin ETF options are aimed at ETF stocks registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as securities, which are listed and traded on national securities exchanges registered with the SEC, and are cleared and settled by the options clearing company as the sole issuer of all stock options. Given the relevant precedents of the court, these spot commodity ETF stocks are likely to be regarded as securities, so the listing of these stocks on national securities exchanges registered with the SEC does not involve the jurisdiction of the CFTC, and clearing will be carried out as a registered clearing organization under the supervision of the SEC.
