rules governing the listing and trading of shares of the ARK 21 Shares 
Bitcoin ETF and the 21 Shares Core Ethereum ETF to permit in-kind 
creations and redemptions. On February 5, 2025, the Exchange filed 
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which replaced and 
superseded the original filing in its entirety. On February 7, 2025, 
the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change, which 
replaced and superseded the proposed rule change as modified by 
Amendment No. 1 in its entirety. The proposed rule change, as modified 
by Amendment No. 2, was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on February 14, 2025.\3\ No comments have been received on the proposed

(File No. SR-CboeBZX-2025-010).
