<h2 id="bitcoin-options-etfs-launching-today">Bitcoin Options ETFs Launching Today</h2> 
According to Bloomberg, Nasdaq is set to approve options trading for BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF starting today. This milestone allows investors to trade derivatives based on Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The approval follows the success of the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF, which recently recorded significant inflows, including $254.8 million on November 18, marking consecutive strong performances last week. 
During Bloomberg’s ETF IQ program, Alison Hennessy, Nasdaq ETP Listings Manager, confirmed that the options ETP would begin trading “tomorrow.” She expressed confidence in strong investor interest following its listing on IBIT. Another Nasdaq spokesperson also confirmed the launch, noting it comes shortly after the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) greenlit the Bitcoin Options ETF. This move has fueled widespread optimism in the market.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-70079 aligncenter" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/US-Spot-Bitcoin-ETF-Inflow-19-11-24.webp" alt="Bitcoin's Critical Trading Day: Will the Price React to New ETF Launches? = The Bit Journal" width="650" height="675" title="Bitcoin's Critical Trading Day: Will the Price React to New ETF Launches? 49">

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,800, experiencing a daily trading volume surge of 52%, reaching $73.59 billion. The leading cryptocurrency hit a 24-hour high of $92,596, posting a monthly gain of 34%. Additionally, open interest in BTC futures has risen by over 1.5%, signaling strong confidence in the crypto market. 
As anticipation builds around the Bitcoin Options ETF, experts believe it could further drive BTC prices. A recent BCA Research report predicts that Bitcoin’s price could reach $200,000 as it continues its march toward $100,000. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez echoed similar sentiments, suggesting Bitcoin could hit $150,000 in the next phase of its market cycle. Likewise, Crypto Rover and Fundstrat’s Tom Lee forecast an imminent rally, with BTC breaking past the $200,000 mark.
