Summary
Anchorage Digital has applied for swap dealer registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer European-style options on Bitcoin and Ether, with contract terms of up to one year, according to the primary report. The National Futures Association (NFA) is still reviewing the application, and no approval has been granted.
The filing is intended to expand Anchorage Digital's options business, which the report says has grown significantly as publicly traded companies have accumulated Bitcoin and Ether holdings. Approval would allow the firm to provide a more diverse set of crypto derivatives to investors.
The report was published by Pluang alongside a market snapshot as of Nov 07, 2026, 08:21 WIB. Of 50 major cryptocurrencies tracked, 37 rose and 12 fell that day. CRV led gainers with a 4.77% increase to Rp4.807, while ALGO rose 4.64% to Rp1.760 and SNX rose 4.58% to Rp3.104. The snapshot also lists typical hold times for each asset, including 62 days for CRV, 131 days for ALGO and 71 days for SNX. These figures are market data unrelated to the Anchorage application and are not a sign of its outcome.
