Nasdaq withdraws application for listing of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF options

On August 16, according to The Block, according to documents on the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nasdaq withdrew two applications for listing and trading Bitcoin spot and Ethereum spot ETF options. At the same time, the New York Stock Exchange also withdrew the listing and trading applications of Bitwise and Grayscale Bitcoin spot ETF options on the same day. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said he expects Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange to resubmit applications for listing Bitcoin spot ETF options in the next few days or weeks. According to previous news, other exchanges also withdrew similar applications last week. MIAX, MIAX Pearl and BOX Exchange withdrew their proposals to list Bitcoin spot ETF options, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange also withdrew its application for listing Bitcoin spot ETF options, but then resubmitted the application. The SEC has not yet approved the trading of options products based on Bitcoin spot and Ethereum spot ETFs. $BTC $ETH
