The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the rule change on April 30, 2026, increasing the position and execution limits for Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options from Nasdaq ISE from 250,000 contracts to 1M contracts. This approval marked the completion of a three-stage expansion of limits in the Bitcoin ETF options market over the past two months. Starting in March, when NYSE removed its 25,000-contract threshold, the process concluded with a fourfold increase to 1 million contracts for IBIT by the end of April. For institutional investors, this event signifies the removal of one of the biggest structural barriers in the Bitcoin market.
