Surge in demand drives market expansion: Nasdaq proposes to raise the daily trading limit for BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Options to 1 million contracts.

The Nasdaq's International Securities Exchange has officially submitted a proposal to significantly increase the daily trading limit for options related to the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (trading code: IBIT) from the current 250,000 contracts to 1,000,000 contracts, an increase of 300%, to match the sustained high trading demand from investors. This adjustment plan has been disclosed through a filing made public by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday.

The备案文件明确, the proposed IBIT Options position limits and exercise rules will align with the regulatory standards of mature products such as iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, iShares China Large-Cap ETF, and iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, reflecting the regulators' recognition of the standardized development of the crypto asset ETF derivatives market.

Tim Sun, a senior researcher at Hashkey Group, analyzed that the recent increase in limits not only reflects a surge in trading volume but also reflects a deep transformation in the ecological landscape of the cryptocurrency market—demand from institutions and professional investors for hedging tools, risk management solutions, and complex trading strategies has entered a phase of large-scale release, with IBIT Options continuing to strengthen its market positioning as a core derivative instrument.

It is worth noting that this is the second time this year that Nasdaq has applied for an expansion of IBIT Options. In January of this year, after the approval of the ETF options, trading activities exploded rapidly, and the exchange proposed to increase the initial limit by 10 times to 250,000 contracts, which was officially approved by the SEC in July. As the largest Bitcoin ETF by current scale, IBIT's asset management has reached approximately $70 billion, and its options contracts have become the core pillar of the crypto derivatives market since their listing: during the peak period in October, the open interest of IBIT options exceeded $50 billion, matching the scale of Deribit, the world's largest crypto options exchange; data shows that IBIT-related contracts currently account for 98% of the total trading volume of Bitcoin ETF options in the entire market and 96% of the total open interest, making its market dominance irreplaceable. #内容挖矿赚丰厚返佣 0192837464656574839201 #成长值抽奖赢iPhone17和周边 0192837464656574839201
