美國期權清算公司正「準備」在現貨比特幣交易所交易基金上列出期權

此前，美國證券交易委員會於 2024 年 9 月 20 日批准了貝萊德 iShares 比特幣信託的選擇權

The U.S Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) has announced that it is “preparing” for the listing of options on spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

美國期權清算公司（OCC）宣布，正在「準備」在現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）上上市選擇權。

This follows the Commodities Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) advisory on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of options on BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust on September 2024.

在此之前，商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 就美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 於 2024 年 9 月批准貝萊德 iShares 比特幣信託選擇權提出的諮詢意見。

As reported by crypto.news, the CFTC's Division of Clearing and Risk provided guidance on clearing of options for spot commodity exchange-traded funds on Nov. 15.

根據 crypto.news 報告，CFTC 清算和風險部門於 11 月 15 日提供了現貨商品交易所交易基金選擇權清算指南。

OCC's response relates to this CFTC approval of spot Bitcoin ETF options.

OCC 的回應與 CFTC 批准現貨比特幣 ETF 選擇權有關。

“Based on this advisory, OCC is preparing for the clearance, settlement and risk management of such options,” the Chicago-based clearing house wrote.

「根據這項建議，OCC 正在為此類期權的清算、結算和風險管理做準備，」這家總部位於芝加哥的清算所寫道。

The news has excited the crypto community, which has remained buoyant since Nov. 5, when the U.S. elected pro-crypto Donald Trump as president. Bitcoin price, which hovered just below $90,000 before the OCC announcement, has rebounded to above $92,650. The benchmark crypto asset traded around $91,400 at the time of writing.

這項消息讓加密貨幣社群興奮不已，自 11 月 5 日美國選舉支持加密貨幣的唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 擔任總統以來，加密貨幣社群一直保持活躍狀態。在 OCC 宣布消息之前，比特幣價格徘徊在略低於 90,000 美元的水平，現已反彈至 92,650 美元以上。截至撰寫本文時，基準加密資產的交易價格約為 91,400 美元。

Upbeat sentiment is likely to strengthen amid this development, especially as demand for crypto investment products spikes. Traders looking to ride the opportunity that Bitcoin ETF options offer may not have long to wait, Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, said via X.

在這一發展過程中，樂觀情緒可能會加強，特別是隨著對加密投資產品的需求激增。彭博社高級 ETF 分析師 Eric Balchunas 透過 X 表示，希望抓住比特幣 ETF 選擇權提供機會的交易者可能不需要等太久。

“That’s a wrap,” Balchunas noted. “Now it’s just a matter of when not if.”

「這就是一個包裝，」巴爾丘納斯指出。 “現在這只是時間問題，而不是是否問題。”

According to the ETF expert, the listing process once the OCC has signaled approval is usually straightforward and quick. In most cases, he opined, this happens “within a few days.”

根據這位 ETF 專家介紹，一旦 OCC 發出批准訊號，上市流程通常會直接且快速。他認為，在大多數情況下，這種情況會在「幾天之內」發生。

In trading, options are a financial derivatives instrument that offers contracts allowing one to buy or sell financial products like stocks or ETFs at a specified price and time. As the company that clears and settles listed options in the U.S., the OCC handles millions of financial contracts. It's set to add spot Bitcoin ETF options to that list.

在交易中，選擇權是一種金融衍生工具，它提供允許人們以指定價格和時間買賣股票或 ETF 等金融產品的合約。作為美國上市選擇權的清算和結算公司，OCC 處理著數百萬份金融合約。它將在該列表中添加現貨比特幣 ETF 期權。
