美国期权清算公司正“准备”在现货比特币交易所交易基金上列出期权

此前，美国证券交易委员会于 2024 年 9 月 20 日批准了贝莱德 iShares 比特币信托的期权

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).

美国期权清算公司（OCC）宣布，正在“准备”在现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）上上市期权。

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，商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 就美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 于 2024 年 9 月批准贝莱德 iShares 比特币信托期权提出的咨询意见。

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.

据 crypto.news 报道，CFTC 清算和风险部门于 11 月 15 日提供了现货商品交易所交易基金期权清算指南。

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

OCC 的回应与 CFTC 批准现货比特币 ETF 期权有关。

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

“根据这一建议，OCC 正在为此类期权的清算、结算和风险管理做准备，”这家总部位于芝加哥的清算所写道。

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.

这一消息让加密货币社区兴奋不已，自 11 月 5 日美国选举支持加密货币的唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 担任总统以来，加密货币社区一直保持活跃状态​​。在 OCC 宣布消息之前，比特币价格徘徊在略低于 90,000 美元的水平，现已反弹至 92,650 美元以上。截至撰写本文时，基准加密资产的交易价格约为 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.

在这一发展过程中，乐观情绪可能会加强，特别是随着对加密投资产品的需求激增。彭博社高级 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 通过 X 表示，希望抓住比特币 ETF 期权提供机会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.”

“这就是一个包装，”巴尔丘纳斯指出。 “现在这只是时间问题，而不是是否问题。”

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.”

据这位 ETF 专家介绍，一旦 OCC 发出批准信号，上市流程通常会直接且快速。他认为，在大多数情况下，这种情况会在“几天之内”发生。

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，期权是一种金融衍生工具，它提供允许人们以指定价格和时间买卖股票或 ETF 等金融产品的合约。作为美国上市期权的清算和结算公司，OCC 处理着数百万份金融合同。它将在该列表中添加现货比特币 ETF 期权。
