BitMine Stock Rockets as Options Trading Launches on NYSE – Crypto Meets Wall Street
Wall Street just got a new playground for crypto bulls and bears. BitMine stock—the mining giant that's become a proxy for Bitcoin's volatility—is now live for options trading on the NYSE.
Why This Matters
Options mean leverage. Leverage means bigger bets. And for BitMine—already a favorite of retail traders—this opens the floodgates for institutional money to play (or manipulate) the crypto-equity hybrid.
The Cynical Take
Because nothing says 'mature asset class' like letting hedge funds pile into derivatives of a company that mines digital tokens. At least the NYSE gets its cut either way.
Watch the open interest. If volumes spike, BitMine could become the new casino chip for crypto’s Wall Street era—whether the underlying tech succeeds or not.

The firm maintains a business hybrid model that includes conventional mining infrastructure and advisory services. The firm provides synthetic Bitcoin mining, advisory, and aims to accumulate crypto assets through operations as well as capital market strategies.
BitMine’s mining activities are established in energy-efficient locations like Trinidad and Texas.
Investor interest in BitMine skyrocketed earlier this year when technology billionaire Peter Thiel announced a 9.1% holding in the company. A vanguard of investing in bitcoin and crypto startups early on, Thiel’s support adds further credibility to BitMine’s lofty ETH stockpiling plans.
As a result, BMNR stock ROSE 1.04% in initial Wednesday trading following the announcement.
With its shares now trading on the NYSE, BitMine can anticipate greater liquidity and investor demand. The move supports the company’s overall strategy of becoming an institutional leader in the Ethereum sector.
