Proposal to List Options on Crypto ETF
Nasdaq ISE filed on May 15, 2024, to amend Options 4, Section 3, to allow ISE to list and trade options on the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (File No. SR-ISE-2025-16). If approved, exchanges could list options tied to that crypto-related ETF, creating a new tradable options product for investors.
SEC Delays Decision to September 2, 2025
The SEC extended its review and set September 2, 2025, as the date by which it will approve, disapprove, or start proceedings on Nasdaq ISE’s proposed rule change. The 45-day review period after publication (which would have ended July 19, 2025) is extended so the Commission has more time to consider the filing.
