On February 24, 2025, NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) and NYSE Arca Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) (each an “Exchange,” and, collectively, the “Exchanges”) 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] proposed rule changes to amend their respective rules to allow the Exchanges to list and trade options on Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The proposed rule changes were published for comment in the *Federal Register* on March 14, 2025 and March 17, 2025. [^3] On April 25, 2025, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, [^4] the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule changes, disapprove the proposed rule changes, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule changes. [^5] On June 12, 2025, the Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act [^6] to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule changes. [^7] The Commission has not received any comments on the proposed rule changes.

The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination.
