The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has announced the removal of the 25,000-contract limit on options tied to 11 cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The changes, which take effect immediately, allow for increased trading flexibility and liquidity.
This move is part of a broader trend of regulatory easing around crypto-derived derivatives. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has waived the standard 30-day waiting period, allowing the changes to take effect immediately.
The affected ETFs include those from major issuers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK. The removal of the cap is expected to enhance capital efficiency for institutions, market-makers, and sophisticated retail participants.
