On January 25, 2022, 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 WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust under BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4),
Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on February 14, 2022.\3\ The
Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

2022), 87 FR 8318.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (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 March 31, 2022. The Commission is
extending this 45-day time period.

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 any
comments received. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\5\ the Commission designates May 15, 2022, 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-2022-006).
