In a recent interview, Michael Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy, predicted a significant boost for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) with the advent of options trading on ETFs. This forecast comes amidst ongoing discussions about the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions and their potential impact on Bitcoin prices.

“The next big jolt to bitcoin is going to be when we have options that trade on the ETFs. The SEC said they are coming. I don’t know if it’s in three weeks or a month,” Novogratz said.

Novogratz highlighted that platforms are gradually beginning to offer these options, and this trend is expected to continue. He drew a parallel to MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR), which offers leverage on Bitcoin for retail investors and trades at more than twice the value of its Bitcoin holdings, largely due to options trading.
