SEC Faces September 27 Deadline on Options Listing for Crypto ETFs
- —Filing SR-ISE-2026-42 was submitted by Nasdaq ISE and published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2026
- —The SEC can approve, reject, or extend review to November 11, 2026
- —Liquidity threshold is $700 million average daily worldwide market value per asset
- —At least 85% of fund NAV must be in assets with a tradable futures market
Why it matters: Streamlined options listing would deepen hedging and liquidity for crypto ETFs, though the SEC will likely delay its decision to November.
