According to SEC filings, Nasdaq proposed on August 14 that the SEC establish standardized requirements for options listings on crypto-backed ETFs holding digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). The proposal would streamline approvals by eliminating the need for individual approval processes for each ETF options listing.
Meanwhile, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF saw net inflows in the last 24 hours that exceeded combined selling from major competitors including Fidelity, ARK, and VanEck, reflecting continued institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure despite broader market uncertainty.
