Nasdaq and BlackRock are set to expand their offerings by proposing the listing and trading of options for the iShares Ethereum Trust (ticker ETHA). In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the partnership indicated that this move aims to provide investors with an additional and cost-effective method to gain exposure to spot ether while also offering a hedging tool for ether-related investments. This initiative reflects the growing demand for diverse investment products within the cryptocurrency space.
BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF was among several approved in May and began trading last month, marking a significant milestone for crypto asset management. The proposal is currently open for public comment for 21 days, and a final decision from the SEC is anticipated in early April 2025. This development signals a broader acceptance of cryptocurrency options in traditional financial markets, potentially attracting more institutional investors to the burgeoning digital asset sector.
