SEC Deadline on Spot Crypto ETF Options Listing Standards (ISE)
Nasdaq · TradFi · November 11, 2026
SEC must approve, reject or open proceedings on Nasdaq ISE generic listing standards for options on spot crypto ETFs by November 11, 2026.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) faces a November 11, 2026 deadline to approve, disapprove or institute proceedings on Nasdaq ISE's proposed rule change SR-ISE-2026-42, which would adopt generic listing criteria for options on commodity-based trusts that hold one or more digital commodities, such as spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and other spot crypto ETPs. Nasdaq ISE filed the proposal on July 28, 2026, and it was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2026 with no public comments received. The original 45-day review window ended on September 27, 2026, and the SEC extended it to November 11 (Release No. 34-106448). Approval would let the options exchange list crypto ETF options under standard criteria instead of case-by-case rule filings, while instituting proceedings would push the final decision further out.
