Nasdaq has received approval from the SEC to launch cash-settled Bitcoin index options on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, using the CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index as the benchmark. These European-style options settle in cash without actual Bitcoin transfer and will trade under the ticker QBTC. However, trading cannot start until Nasdaq obtains further authorization from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which oversees Bitcoin as a commodity. This move reflects a more open regulatory stance under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, aiming to expand regulated access to cryptocurrency derivatives within traditional U.S. markets.
