The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has granted approval for the listing and trading of options on Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This authorization enables regulated exchanges to offer options contracts tied to spot Ethereum ETFs.
The decision marks a significant structural advancement for the cryptocurrency market, expanding risk management tools and speculative avenues for institutional and retail investors. Ethereum ETF options thereby join other mainstream financial derivatives, signaling growing regulatory acceptance of crypto-based investment vehicles.
