SEC Delays Decision on IBIT Option Position and Exercise Contract Limit

BlockBeats News, January 8th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has designated a longer period to decide on a rule change proposal submitted by Nasdaq ISE. The proposal seeks to increase the position and exercise limits for iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options from the current 250,000 contracts to 1,000,000 contracts. The SEC has extended the decision deadline to February 24, 2026, to allow enough time to review the impact of significantly expanding the limits on the market.
