Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proceedings To
Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change To
List and Trade Shares of the Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund Under NYSE Arca Rule
8.201-E
November 1, 2021.
On April 23, 2021, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'') 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 Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E
(Commodity-Based Trust Shares). The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on May 12, 2021.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91771 (May 6, 2021),
86 FR 26073 (May 12, 2021). Comments on the proposed rule change can
be found at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2021-31/srnysearca202131.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2021-31/srnysearca202131.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 22, 2021, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the
Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule
change.\5\ On August 9, 2021, the Commission instituted proceedings
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92233 (June 22,
2021), 86 FR 34107 (June 28, 2021).
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
\7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92610 (Aug. 9,
2021), 86 FR 44763 (Aug. 13, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \8\ provides that, after initiating
proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving or
disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after the
date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule change.
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. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in
[[Page 61345]]
the Federal Register on May 12, 2021.\9\ The 180th day after
publication of the proposed rule change is November 8, 2021. The
Commission is extending the time period for approving or disapproving
the proposed rule change for an additional 60 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
\9\ See supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer
period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the
proposed rule change and the issues raised in the comment letters that
have been submitted in connection therewith. Accordingly, the
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ designates
January 7, 2022, as the date by which the Commission shall either
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File Number SR-
NYSEArca-2021-31).

\10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\
