    On January 12, 2024, Miami International Securities Exchange LLC

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 options on Exchange-Traded Fund Shares that represent 
interests in a trust that holds bitcoin. The proposed rule change was 
published for comment in the Federal Register on January 25, 2024.\3\ 
The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

    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 March 10, 2024. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ designates 
April 24, 2024 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-MIAX-2024-03).
