On February 3, 2025, NYSE Arca, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) [^1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, [^2] a proposed rule change to amend rules regarding the position and exercise limits for options on the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and the Bitcoin Bitwise ETF and to permit Flexible Exchange Options on the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF. On February 14, 2025, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended, was published for comment in the *Federal Register* on February 24, 2025. [^3] The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

[^3]*See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102441 (Feb. 18, 2025), 90 FR 10518.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act [^4] provides that within 45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be  disapproved. The 45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change is April 10, 2025. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.
