According to Odaily, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart has indicated that Bitcoin spot ETF options might be introduced in the United States by the first quarter of 2025. Speaking at the Permissionless conference on October 9, Seyffart stated, 'I think there is a possibility of launching (Bitcoin spot ETF) options by the end of this year, but it is more likely to happen in the first quarter of 2025.'

In September of this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorized options related to BlackRock's IBIT to be listed on Nasdaq. These options are currently awaiting final approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Seyffart noted, 'Unlike the SEC's regulations, the CFTC and OCC do not have strict deadlines, so they can delay further if they choose to.'
