SEC Confirms 19b-4 Filing for Spot Bitcoin ETF-Based Options Products, May Approve as Early as by End of February

Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said on the X platform that the SEC has confirmed 19b-4 filings for options products based on spot bitcoin ETFs, filed by the NYSE, Nasdaq, and CBOE exchanges, respectively. "This is faster than the SEC typically moves, and if the SEC wants to move quickly, the options product could be approved by the end of February, some 27+ days before the earliest resolution," the analyst said.
