Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Anchorage Digital has filed with the National Futures Association for a CFTC swap dealer registration through its entity Anchorage Digital Swap Dealer, LLC, covering its crypto options business. The firm said its U.S. client options activity has surpassed the CFTC's $8 billion threshold, defined as the total notional amount of swap dealer-related transactions over the prior 12 months. Anchorage already offers digital asset options to institutions and attributes growth partly to public companies holding bitcoin and ether, along with asset managers and funds using options to manage exposure. The registration marks a step toward formalized U.S. derivatives oversight for a crypto-native institution as federal regulators tighten rules around digital asset trading. What to watch next is whether the NFA approves the application and whether other crypto options venues follow with their own swap dealer registrations.
