Le NYSE retire sa demande de cotation et de négociation d'options sur l'ETF Bitwise Bitcoin (BITB) et le Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)

La Bourse de New York (NYSE) a retiré sa demande de cotation et d'échange d'options sur l'ETF Bitwise Bitcoin (BITB) et le Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has retracted its application to list and trade options on the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This decision is part of the ongoing regulatory journey of Bitcoin-related financial products. In January, the SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs for listing on various stock exchanges. Following this, the NYSE applied to introduce options trading on these Bitcoin ETFs.

However, the SEC has been delaying its decision on this matter. After publishing the NYSE proposal for public comment in February, the Commission proceeded to extend its review period and initiated formal proceedings to gather feedback from the public by April.

Now, the NYSE has opted to withdraw its application before the SEC reaches a final decision on the matter. The exchange filed a notice of withdrawal on August 9, 2024.

Other Withdrawals and Options Trading

The Commission has been delaying its decision on this matter multiple times now. As a result, the NYSE’s withdrawal might be indicating that the exchange anticipated further delays or other hurdles in gaining approval for options trading on Bitcoin ETFs.

Last week, another exchange giant, Cboe, also withdrew its application for options trading but quickly re-filed with a revised and more detailed proposal. According to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, this move could reset the timeline, pushing the deadline for a decision to late April 2025.

Earlier this month, three other exchanges also pulled back their proposals to allow options trading on Bitcoin ETF shares. These included BOX Exchange LLC, MIAX Pearl LLC, and Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC.

Options are financial derivatives that provide investors with the right – but not the obligation – to purchase or sell an asset at a fixed price within a certain timeframe. In the context of Bitcoin ETFs, these options would enable investors to bet on the price fluctuations of a Bitcoin ETF, all while avoiding direct involvement with the cryptocurrency itself.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs

The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January became one of the most successful ETF introductions in history, drawing capital and attention from investors. Since their launch, these products have attracted $17.33 billion in net inflows. Moreover, they hold a total of $51.99 billion in all assets. On August 15, these financial funds cumulatively recorded a net inflow of $11.11 million.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $58,400, down by around 4% in the past seven days. The cryptocurrency’s market cap currently stands at $1.15 trillion. BTC is down by over 20% from its all-time peak of $73,750, achieved in March this year.
