List and Trade Shares of the Grayscale Ethereum Futures Trust (ETH) ETF
Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.200-E, Commentary .02 (Trust Issued Receipts)
March 22, 2024.
On September 19, 2023, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or
``Exchange'') 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 (``Shares'') of the
Grayscale Ethereum Futures Trust (ETH) ETF (``Trust'') under NYSE Arca
Rule 8.200-E, Commentary .02 (Trust Issued Receipts). The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on October 3,
2023.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 98567 (Sept. 27,
2023), 88 FR 68171. Comments on the proposed rule change are
available at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2023-63/srnysearca202363.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2023-63/srnysearca202363.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 15, 2023, 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 December 18, 2023, 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. 98944, 88 FR 81171
(Nov. 21, 2023).

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 the Federal Register on October 3,
2023.\9\ The 180th day after publication of the proposed rule change is
March 31, 2024. The Commission is extending the time period for
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60
days.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 therein. Accordingly, the
Commission, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ designates May
30, 2024, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or
disapprove the proposed
