Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change To List and Trade Shares of the Global X Bitcoin Trust Under BZX 
Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares

September 29, 2021.
    On August 3, 2021, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (``BZX'') 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 list and trade 
shares of the Global X Bitcoin Trust under BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4). The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on August 23, 2021.\3\ The Commission has received comments on the 
proposed rule change.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92689 (Aug. 17, 
2021), 86 FR 47176 (Aug. 23, 2021).
    \4\ Comments received on the proposed rule change are available 
at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2021-052/srcboebzx2021052.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2021-052/srcboebzx2021052.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ 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 (i) as the Commission may 
designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and 
publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) 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 October 7, 2021. The Commission is 
extending this 45-day time period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer 
period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that 
it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the 
comments received. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\6\ the Commission designates November 21, 2021, as the date by 
which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute 
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule 
change (File No. SR-CboeBZX-2021-052).
