CFTC Approves Clearing of Options on Spot Commodity ETFs
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has paved the way for clearing Options on Spot Commodity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) that holds an underlying asset. Generally, ETFs are the investment securities that track the price of their underlying asset. Thus, Bitcoin ETFs fluctuate with the moving BTC price.
There are mainly two types of Bitcoin ETFs: Spot and Futures. While Spot ETFs hold Bitcoin as their underlying asset, Futures ETFs hold futures contracts over Bitcoin.
The first Bitcoin Futures ETF was approved in 2021, with the launch of Proshares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO). In January 2024, the SEC approved 11 Spot Bitcoin ETFs including GBTC, IBIT, FBTC, etc.
As Bitcoin ETFs provide an easier and more regulated way to invest in Bitcoin, they have garnered attention from both retail and institutional investors. They are the best investment choices for investors concerned about security, regulatory, and technical complexities of assets.
