BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Regains Weekly Options Expiries After Rule Overhaul
BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has regained its key weekly options expiries after a rule overhaul by MIAX, the U.S. options exchange group.
The new Tier 2 framework lowers the qualifying gates to $25 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) and 5 million monthly options sides, compared to the previous thresholds of $50 billion and 10 million respectively.
Under this new framework, IBIT expirations are limited to Monday and Wednesday short-term expiries. MIAX initially dropped IBIT from its third-quarter roster but restored it after it qualified under the Tier 2 framework on August 18, 2026.
