As a seasoned financial analyst with over two decades of experience in the market, I find myself both intrigued and somewhat puzzled by the US SEC’s latest move regarding the NYSE’s proposed rule change for options trading on Ethereum ETFs. Having witnessed the approval of Bitcoin ETF options earlier this year, one might expect a similar swift decision for Ethereum. However, it seems that the regulatory process is proving to be more complex than initially anticipated.

Once more, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision regarding the New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) suggested adjustment to enable options trading. This action occurs even though the U.S. SEC has previously given approval for options trading in Bitcoin ETFs.
