Cboe’s New Cash-Settled Bitcoin ETF Options: Could This Spark A Move Beyond $100,000?

Cboe, the derivatives exchange for digital assets and securities trading, is set to make a big addition to the crypto landscape by launching the first cash-settled index options linked to Bitcoin’s (BTC) spot price movements. Scheduled to debut on December 2, these options will be based on the Cboe Bitcoin ETF Index, which tracks a selection of US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. What This Means For Traders The introduction of these options follows closely on the heels of Nasdaq’s recent listing of spot Bitcoin ETF options. This move allows US investors to utilize derivatives to speculate on or hedge against BTC’s price movements.

The availability of cash-settled options will provide institutions with effective tools to hedge their positions, potentially increasing overall market liquidity. This influx of options trading could also influence retail trading behavior, especially during bullish market conditions. Notably, the current surge in Bitcoin’s price, which reached an all-time high of $99,300, has been partly attributed to increased trading activity and market optimism. Therefore, introducing cash-settled options could further push Bitcoin over the $100,000 mark, especially given the increased buying pressure seen in recent days. Cboe’s options on the Bitcoin ETF Index will also enable market participants to gain exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs and, by extension, to Bitcoin itself. The cash-settled nature of these options is said to simplify the process, as positions will be resolved in cash at expiration. Additionally, the options will feature a “European-style exercise,” meaning they can only be exercised on the expiration date, thus minimizing the risks associated with early assignment. Cboe Mini Bitcoin ETF Options In conjunction with the standard-sized index options, Cboe plans to launch Cboe Mini Bitcoin ETF Index options (Ticker: MBTX), valued at one-tenth the notional value of the standard options. Moreover, Cboe will also offer cash-settled FLEX options on both the standard and mini index options. FLEX options enable traders to customize key contract terms such as exercise price, exercise style, and expiration date, providing further flexibility in trading strategies and allowing for larger positions than typically permitted with standard options contracts. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Set To Skyrocket By Saturday, Warns Crypto Analyst Rob Hocking, Cboe’s Global Head of Product Innovation, highlighted the benefits of cash settlement and the variety of index sizes available, which are expected to attract institutional and retail participants looking to hedge or capitalize on Bitcoin’s price movements without directly holding the asset. The exchange already lists cash-settled Bitcoin and Ether margin futures on Cboe Digital Exchange, with plans to transition these products to the Cboe Futures Exchange in the first half of 2025, pending regulatory approval. Cboe’s BZX Equities Exchange also holds a leading position in the US market for spot crypto ETFs, having captured a majority market share of available Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. When writing, the market’s leading cryptocurrency is trading at $99,240. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
