Ủy ban Chứng khoán Hoa Kỳ tạm dừng việc phê duyệt các tùy chọn bitcoin của Nasdaq giữa cuộc tranh chấp pháp lý từ CME

The Huoxing Finance report, citing CoinDesk, states that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has suspended its approval decision for the Nasdaq cash-settled Bitcoin index option (QBTC) and will reconsider it in response to a legal challenge filed by the CME Group. The SEC has frozen the approval until August 24 to solicit feedback from all parties. QBTC will remain suspended until the Commission completes its review. The SEC conditionally approved the product for listing in May this year, contingent upon obtaining a waiver from the CFTC. In June, CME filed an objection, arguing that Bitcoin is a commodity and that its options should fall exclusively under the CFTC’s jurisdiction, not the SEC’s. If CME’s argument is upheld, Nasdaq must either register as a futures platform regulated by the CFTC or redesign the contract.
