Options data from Greeks.live shows that the implied volatility for Jan. 12 options, closely tied to the prospective launch of a spot BTC ETF, decreased instead of rising.
Chief data protection officer and vice president of legal, commercial and product at Yellow Card, Lasbery Oludimu, emphasized that the central bank guidelines could encourage collaboration with traditional financial institutions to explore opportunities within the crypto space.
Seven of the 13 applicants for spot Bitcoin ETFs filed revised S-1s with the SEC on the day of the deadline. An official decision is expected by Jan. 9, and trading should begin around Jan. 11. If a launch is approved, issuers may be notified as soon as Jan. 3.
