SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-102278; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2025-004]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Allow the Exchange To List Options Certain ETFs That Hold Precious
Metals (Including Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum)
January 24, 2025.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 17, 2025, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Item I below, which Item has been
substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to allow the Exchange to list options certain
ETFs that hold precious metals (including gold, silver, palladium, and
platinum). The text of the proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit
5.
The proposed rule change, including the Exchange's statement of the
purpose of, and statutory basis for, the proposed rule change, is
available on the Exchange's website at <a href="http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/">http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/</a> and on the Commission's website
at <a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/self-regulatory-organization-rulemaking/national-securities-exchanges?file_number=SR-CboeEDGX-2025-004">https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/self-regulatory-organization-rulemaking/national-securities-exchanges?file_number=SR-CboeEDGX-2025-004</a>.
II. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \4\ thereunder. Because
the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; or (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \6\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 15 U.S.C. 78(b)(3)(A).
\4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five
business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \7\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\8\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission believes that waving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because rules of other options exchanges permit the listing and trading
of options on the Precious Metal ETFs and the proposal does not
introduce any novel regulatory issues. Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\9\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
III. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.\10\
