PANews reported on August 30 that according to Cointelegraph, according to two regulatory documents on August 28, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe Exchange) submitted a revised application for listing of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF options to regulators. The documents show that Cboe seeks to list options based on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs issued by asset management companies, including Fidelity, 21Shares, Invesco, VanEck, Grayscale, Bitwise, BlackRock iShares and Valkyrie. According to the information in the Bitcoin and Ethereum options documents, the proposed rule changes will classify cryptocurrency spot ETFs and commodity-based ETFs (such as Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF and iShares Silver Trust) as "securities suitable for option trading." According to previous news, Nasdaq announced on August 27 that it plans to list Bitcoin options linked to the CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI). In August of this year, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq withdrew four Bitcoin options listing applications submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On August 8, the Chicago Board Options Exchange withdrew an earlier application for listing Bitcoin ETF options. Bloomberg expects that Bitcoin spot options will be listed in the fourth quarter of this year.
