Bloomberg analysts predict that Bitcoin ETF options will be launched in Q1 2025
Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated that Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are likely to be launched in the United States in the first quarter of 2025. Seyffart said during a panel discussion at the Permissionless conference on October 9: "I think it's possible to launch options before the end of this year, but it's more likely to be in the first quarter of 2025."
In September, The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorized Nasdaq-listed options linked to BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). They are waiting for final approval from Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). Seyffart said: "Unlike regulations by SEC, CFTC and OCC do not have strict deadlines so they can further delay if they wish."

According to reports, since the middle of last week, Saudi Arabia has sold approximately 100 million barrels of crude oil to China, India, Japan, and South Korea, with delivery periods covering October and November.
