Bitcoin options begin trading on Nasdaq after Tuesday listing

As reported by Bloomberg, the listing of spot BTC ETF options on NASDAQ on Tuesday allows investors to bet for or against the future price of the market leading digital asset. Head of ETP listings at Nasdaq, Alison Hennessy, confirmed that the stock exchange aimed for an early listing and chose Tuesday for this purpose.

This follows the introduction of Bitcoin futures ETF options on the stock exchange in March 2023. Hennessy stated that Nasdaq and BlackRock worked with regulators in the U.S. for more than 10 months to list these options. Options on iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) of asset management giant BlackRock began trading on Nasdaq.

According to Hennessy, the new listing “is very exciting for investors because that’s what we have heard from them. They want to be able to have the options on the spot ETFs.” She added that the stock exchange also aimed for an early listing of these options.

Bitcoin price eyes $100,000 as crypto market booms

Several analysts in the digital asset space expect BTC to claim the $100,000 price level before the end of the year. The capital flowing into the spot BTC ETF sector will also play a crucial role in BTC reaching this significant milestone.

According to data from SoSoValue, a total of $29.58 billion has flowed into IBIT, while the total money that has flowed into spot BTC ETFs stands at a massive $28.53 billion.

Bitcoin is currently up by 149.51% since November 2023 and has a massive market cap of $1.83 trillion. With a trading volume of $75.29 billion, Bitcoin dominates the crypto market.
