除了标准规模合约外，芝加哥期权交易所还将推出与其现货比特币ETF迷你指数挂钩的小型期权，名义价值将是大型期权的十分之一。Cboe global markets (CBOE) announced on Friday plans to launch the first cash-settled index options linked to the price of bitcoin. Public information indicates that these new contracts are expected to begin trading on December 2.
The above contracts do not directly track the price of bitcoin but are based on the cboe's bitcoin usa etf index. This index, designed by cboe, aims to track the prices of several spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (etfs) using a modified market cap weighting approach. The index is closely related to the actual spot price of bitcoin. Since it is based on the index rather than the etf, these new contracts are cash-settled.
Currently, bitcoin alternatives in the market only allow for delivery of etfs or stocks like microstrategy, which traders have long considered a substitute for bitcoin.
In addition to standard-sized contracts, cboe will launch small options tied to its spot bitcoin etf mini index, with a nominal value one-tenth that of large options.
