Nasdaq is pushing to significantly increase trading limits on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), seeking to accommodate the growing demand from institutional investors. The exchange has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requesting a raise in options position and exercise limits, moving from 250,000 contracts to one million.
