Game-Changer For Bitcoin: Nasdaq Targets 1M Option Limit For BlackRock’s IBIT

Nasdaq has proposed to increase the options trading limit for BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from 250,000 to 1 million contracts, aiming to align IBIT with the largest and most liquid ETFs in traditional markets. This proposal has been submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for approval.
This development is significant for BlackRock as it reflects a growing confidence in the Bitcoin market and could enhance liquidity and trading efficiency for IBIT, potentially attracting more institutional investors to the cryptocurrency space.
The move comes amid a backdrop of fluctuating investor sentiment towards Bitcoin ETFs, highlighted by recent substantial outflows from IBIT, indicating a cautious market environment. However, the proposed increase in options limits suggests a potential shift towards greater institutional engagement and confidence in cryptocurrency derivatives.
