BlackRock and Nasdaq Aim to Introduce Options Trading for Ethereum ETF
Nasdaq and BlackRock have filed a proposal with the SEC to introduce options trading for BlackRock's Ethereum ETF, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA).
Filed on August 6, this plan aims to diversify Ethereum investment opportunities within traditional finance.
The iShares Ethereum Trust will exclusively hold Ethereum through Coinbase, with cash managed by the Bank of New York Mellon. It will not engage in staking, keeping the investment straightforward.
Options trading allows investors to trade assets at set prices within a certain period, offering flexibility for hedging or speculation. This proposal marks a significant shift, expanding the investment tools available for cryptocurrencies.
