According to an SEC filing, NYSE American submitted a rule change proposal to raise the position limit for iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) options, along with the corresponding exercise limits, from 250k contracts to 1 million contracts. NYSE American said that demand for IBIT options trading continues to grow, and that the current limits may affect investors’ hedging and trading strategies, as well as market makers’ ability to provide liquidity. The proposal was filed on July 6 and took effect immediately; the SEC said the change is consistent with similar IBIT options limit adjustments that Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq PHLX, and BOX Exchange LLC have proposed or approved.

1,000,000 tickets? The SEC is basically issuing a pass for the big whales—retail traders, don’t get squeezed out again and end up watching from the sidelines.

From $250k to $1 million, market makers are ecstatic—but after leverage amplification, the liquidation price is even more thrilling too.

The liquidity cap is gone, and institutions can finally spread out and play hedging games openly. IBIT is set to become a real casino.
