SEC Begins Reviewing a Very Important Bitcoin (BTC) Filing! Here Are the Details

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a review process for a rule change proposed by the CBOE exchange.

SEC Begins Reviewing Proposed Bitcoin ETF Amendment!

According to Chinese cryptocurrency journalist Wu Blockchain, the SEC has begun reviewing CBOE’s proposed changes to Bitcoin ETF option trading sizes to either approve or reject them.

The SEC announced it has begun reviewing Cboe Options Exchange’s (CBOE) proposal to change the price increase range (tick size) of Mini Bitcoin US ETF Index (MBTX) options.

The proposal includes setting a minimum price increment range of $0.01 for options below $3; and $0.05 for options priced at $3 or higher.

The SEC stated that it will further evaluate whether the proposal complies with the Securities Exchange Act’s requirements to prevent manipulation, promote fair trade, and protect investors, and that it awaits public feedback.

The deadline for submitting public opinions has been set as January 21, 2026.

CBOE submitted the proposal to the SEC in late September, arguing that the change was necessary to ensure consistency with BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF IBIT, which already uses a narrower price increase range.
