Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 23 — According to Cointelegraph, NYSE Arca and NYSE American, subsidiaries of the New York Stock Exchange, have officially removed the 25,000 contract position limit on options linked to 11 cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The regulatory change has been granted a 30-day exemption by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and took effect immediately.

The affected ETFs include BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), as well as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs from Bitwise and Grayscale.

The position limit was originally established in November 2024 when cryptocurrency ETF options began trading, aiming to prevent market manipulation and excessive volatility. With this removal, the regulation of related options will align more closely with other commodity ETF options, increasing trading flexibility for institutional investors and potentially improving market liquidity.
