Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, a company involved in launching Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year, emphasized the importance of having options available for Bitcoin. \u201cOptions on Bitcoin are essential for fully integrating this asset class into the market,\u201d Hougan stated. \u201cETF options would add a missing element to the liquidity landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Options, as listed derivatives, grant holders the right to buy or sell an asset, such as a stock or exchange-traded product, at a predetermined price by a specified date. Traders often use options to increase their purchasing power at a lower cost, while institutional investors use them as a risk management tool. Nasdaq\u2019s proposed Bitcoin Index Options would follow the CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index, which tracks Bitcoin futures and options contracts on the CME Group (CME.O) exchange, Nasdaq explained.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-millionaires-increase-by-over-100-in-the-past-year\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Millionaires Increase by Over 100% in the Past Year\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/money-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Millionaires Increase by Over 100% in the Past Year<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the meantime, as regulators deliberate on the approval of options for the new spot Bitcoin ETFs, traders have been turning to other alternatives like recently launched leveraged ETFs tied to Bitcoin, along with options on those funds.

However, in recent weeks, these applications have been withdrawn and resubmitted due to feedback from the SEC, according to sources familiar with the
