Bloomberg analyst: Bitcoin spot ETF options are expected to be launched in the United States in Q1 2025

BlockBeats news, on October 10, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said that options for Bitcoin spot ETFs may be launched in the United States in the first quarter of 2025.

Seyffart said in a panel discussion at the Permissionless conference on October 9: "I think (Bitcoin spot ETF) options may be launched before the end of the year, but more likely in the first quarter of 2025."

In September of this year, the US SEC authorized Nasdaq to list options related to BlackRock IBIT, and is awaiting final approval from the CFTC and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Seyffart added: "Unlike SEC regulations, the CFTC and OCC do not have strict deadlines, so if they want, they can be further delayed."
