SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-103416; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2025-038]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; 
Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Designation of a Longer Period 
for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by 
Amendment No. 1, To Amend the Rules Governing the Listing and Trading 
of Shares of the iShares Ethereum Trust To Permit In-Kind Creations and 
Redemptions

July 9, 2025.
    On May 9, 2025, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``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 amend the 
rules governing the listing and trading of shares of the iShares 
Ethereum Trust to permit in-kind creations and redemptions, to add an 
additional ether custodian, and to amend the Trust's name. The proposed 
rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 
28, 2025.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 103095 (May 21, 
2025), 90 FR 22525. The Commission has received no comments on the 
proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 1, 2025, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed 
rule change, which replaces and supersedes the original filing. The 
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is described in 
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the 
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, from interested 
persons.

[[Page 31508]]

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to update certain representations made in the 
proposed rule change previously filed with and approved by the 
Commission relating to the shares of the iShares Ethereum Trust (the 
``Trust'') to allow for ``in-kind'' transfers of the Trust's ether. 
Shares of the Trust (``Shares'') are currently listed and traded on the 
Exchange under Nasdaq Rule 5711(d). This Amendment No. 1 supersedes the 
original filing in its entirety.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/nasdaq/rulefilings">https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/nasdaq/rulefilings</a>, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the 
Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in 
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Commission approved the listing and trading of the Shares on 
the Exchange pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) \4\ on May 23, 2024.\5\ 
iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability 
company and an indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (``BlackRock''), 
is the sponsor of the Trust (the ``Sponsor'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) governs the listing and trading of 
Commodity-Based Trust Shares, which means a security (1) that is 
issued by a trust that holds (a) a specified commodity deposited 
with the trust, or (b) a specified commodity and, in addition to 
such specified commodity, cash; (2) that is issued by such trust in 
a specified aggregate minimum number in return for a deposit of a 
quantity of the underlying commodity and/or cash; and (3) that, when 
aggregated in the same specified minimum number, may be redeemed at 
a holder's request by such trust which will deliver to the redeeming 
holder the quantity of the underlying commodity and/or cash. See 
Nasdaq Rule 5711(d)(iv)(A).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100224 (May 23, 
2024), 89 FR 46937 (May 30, 2024) (Self-Regulatory Organizations; 
NYSE Arca, Inc.; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Cboe BZX Exchange, 
Inc.; Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Changes, 
as Modified by Amendments Thereto, To List and Trade Shares of 
Ether-Based Exchange-Traded Products) (``Spot ETH ETP Approval 
Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (the ``Ether Custodian'') is 
the custodian for the Trust's ether holdings, and maintains a custody 
account for the Trust (``Custody Account''); Coinbase, Inc. (the 
``Prime Execution Agent''), an affiliate of the Ether Custodian, is the 
prime broker for the Trust and maintains a trading account for the 
Trust (``Trading Account''); and The Bank of New York Mellon is the 
custodian for the Trust's cash holdings (the ``Cash Custodian'') and 
the administrator of the Trust (the ``Trust Administrator'').
    The Exchange now proposes to amend representations regarding the 
Trust's creation and redemption process as set forth in the previous 
rule filing to list and trade Shares to allow for in-kind transfers of 
the Trust's ether.\6\ The proposed in-kind transfer process will be an 
alternative to the Trust's current cash creation and redemption 
process. In order to effectuate the foregoing changes, the Exchange 
proposes a number of changes to the Original ETHA Filing in the manner 
described below. Except for the changes described below, all other 
representations in the Original ETHA Filing remain unchanged and will 
continue to constitute continued listing requirements. In addition, the 
Trust will continue to comply with the terms of the Original ETHA 
Filing and the requirements in Rule 5711(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100212 (May 22, 
2024), 89 FR 46556 (May 29, 2024) (SR-NASDAQ-2023-045) (Notice of 
Filing of Amendment No. 2 to a Proposed Rule Change To List and 
Trade Shares of the iShares Ethereum Trust Under Nasdaq Rule 
5711(d)) (the ``Original ETHA Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 1: Custody of the Trust's Ether and Creation and Redemption

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Original ETHA Filing section 
entitled ``Custody of the Trust's Ether and Creation and Redemption'' 
to add more detail on how the Trust will handle transfers of ether in 
connection with the proposed in-kind creation and redemption process, 
and make certain conforming changes to the description of the cash 
creation and redemption process. As proposed, the language in the 
``Custody of the Trust's Ether and Creation and Redemption'' section 
from the Original ETHA Filing will be deleted and replaced with the 
following language.
    An investment in the Shares is backed by ether held by the Ether 
Custodian on behalf of the Trust. All of the Trust's ether will be held 
in the Custody Account, other than the Trust's ether which is 
temporarily maintained in the Trading Account under limited 
circumstances, i.e., in connection with creation and redemption Basket 
\7\ activity or sales of ether deducted from the Trust's holdings in 
payment of Trust expenses or the Sponsor's fee (or, in extraordinary 
circumstances, upon liquidation of the Trust). The Custody Account 
includes all of the Trust's ether held at the Ether Custodian but does 
not include the Trust's ether temporarily maintained at the Prime 
Execution Agent in the Trading Account from time to time. The Ether 
Custodian will keep all of the private keys associated with the Trust's 
ether held in the Custody Account in ``cold storage''.\8\ The hardware, 
software, systems, and procedures of the Ether Custodian may not be 
available or cost-effective for many investors to access directly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in blocks of 40,000 
or integral multiples thereof. A block of 40,000 Shares is called a 
``Basket.'' These transactions take place in exchange for ether.
    \8\ The term ``cold storage'' refers to a safeguarding method by 
which the private keys corresponding to the Trust's ether are 
generated and stored in an offline manner, subject to layers of 
procedures designed to enhance security. Private keys are generated 
by the Ether Custodian in offline computers that are not connected 
to the internet so that they are more resistant to being hacked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Trust's ether holdings and cash holdings from time to time may 
temporarily be maintained in the Trading Account held with the Prime 
Execution Agent, an affiliate of the Ether Custodian. Coinbase Inc. 
serves as the Trust's Prime Execution Agent pursuant to the Trust's 
agreement with the Prime Execution Agent (``Prime Execution Agent 
Agreement''). In this capacity, the Prime Execution Agent facilitates 
(1) the buying and selling of ether by the Trust in response to cash 
creations and redemptions between the Trust and registered broker-
dealers that are Depositary Trust Company (``DTC'') participants that 
enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Sponsor and the 
Trustee (``Authorized Participants''), (2) the transfer of ether 
between the Trust and an Authorized Participant, its designated agent 
or client as part of in-kind creations and redemptions, and (3) the 
sale of ether to pay the Sponsor's fee, any other Trust expenses not 
assumed by the Sponsor, to the extent applicable, and in extraordinary 
circumstances, in connection with the liquidation of the Trust's ether.

[[Page 31509]]

    The Authorized Participants will deliver cash or ether to create 
shares and will receive cash or ether when redeeming shares.
    For a cash creation or redemption of a Basket of Shares, the 
Authorized Participant will be required to submit the cash creation or 
redemption order by an early order cutoff time (the ``Cash Order Cutoff 
Time''). The Cash Order Cutoff Time will initially be 6:00 p.m. ET on 
the business day prior to trade date.
    For an in-kind creation or redemption of a Basket of Shares, the 
Authorized Participant will be required to submit the in-kind creation 
or redemption order by an order cutoff (``In-Kind Order Cutoff Time''). 
The In-Kind Order Cutoff Time will initially be 3:59 p.m. ET on the 
trade date.
Cash Creations
    In connection with cash creations and cash redemptions, the 
Authorized Participants will submit orders to create or redeem Baskets 
of Shares exclusively in exchange for cash. The Trust will engage in 
ether transactions to convert cash into ether (in association with 
creation orders) and ether into cash (in association with redemption 
orders). The Trust will conduct its ether purchase and sale 
transactions by, in its sole discretion, choosing to trade directly 
with designated third parties (each, an ``Ether Trading 
Counterparty''), pursuant to written agreements between each such Ether 
Trading Counterparty and the Trust, or choosing to trade through the 
Prime Execution Agent acting in an agency capacity with third parties 
through its Coinbase Prime service \9\ pursuant to the Prime Execution 
Agent Agreement. Ether Trading Counterparties settle trades with the 
Trust using their own accounts at the Prime Execution Agent when 
trading with the Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Coinbase Prime service is an execution service pursuant 
to which Coinbase will execute ether orders for the Trust by 
accessing liquidity from sources such as ether trading platforms, 
which can include Coinbase's own platform, and other liquidity 
providers. Trades can be executed according to an algorithm or on 
the basis of firm quotes sought by requests-for-quote (``RFQ'') for 
a two-way price sent to liquidity providers. Algorithmic trades can 
be self-directed or executed by Coinbase's high touch execution 
desk, Coinbase Execution Services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following the Cash Order Cutoff Time for a creation order, the 
Trust will choose, in its sole discretion, to enter into a transaction 
with an Ether Trading Counterparty or the Prime Execution Agent to buy 
ether in exchange for the cash proceeds from such cash creation order. 
On settlement date for a cash creation, the Trust delivers Shares to 
the Authorized Participant in exchange for cash received from the 
Authorized Participant. Also, on or around the settlement date, the 
Ether Trading Counterparty or Prime Execution Agent, as applicable, 
deposits the required ether pursuant to its trade with the Trust into 
the Trust's Trading Account in exchange for cash. In the event the 
Trust has not been able to successfully execute and complete settlement 
of an ether transaction by the settlement date of the cash creation 
order, the Authorized Participant will be given the option to (1) 
cancel the cash creation order, or (2) accept that the Trust will 
continue to attempt to complete the execution, which will delay the 
settlement date of the cash creation order. With respect to a cash 
creation order, as between the Trust and the Authorized Participant, 
the Authorized Participant is responsible for the dollar cost of the 
difference between the ether price utilized in calculating NAV per 
Share on trade date and the price at which the Trust acquires the ether 
to the extent the price realized in buying the ether is higher than the 
ether price utilized in the NAV. To the extent the price realized in 
buying the ether is lower than the price utilized in the NAV, the 
Authorized Participant shall get to keep the dollar impact of any such 
difference.
    Because the Trust's Trading Account may not be funded with cash on 
trade date for the purchase of ether associated with a cash creation 
order, the Trust may borrow trade credits (``Trade Credits'') in the 
form of cash from Coinbase Credit, Inc. (the ``Trade Credit Lender''), 
an affiliate of the Prime Execution Agent, under the trade financing 
agreement (``Trade Financing Agreement'') or may require the Authorized 
Participant to deliver the required cash for the cash creation order on 
trade date. The extension of Trade Credits on trade date allows the 
Trust to purchase ether through the Prime Execution Agent on trade 
date, with such ether being deposited in the Trust's Trading Account. 
On settlement date for a cash creation order, the Trust delivers Shares 
to the Authorized Participant in exchange for cash received from the 
Authorized Participant. To the extent Trade Credits were utilized, the 
Trust uses the cash to repay the Trade Credits borrowed from the Trade 
Credit Lender. On settlement date for a cash creation order, the ether 
purchased is swept from the Trust's Trading Account to the Trust's 
Custody Account pursuant to a regular end-of-day sweep process.
In-Kind Creations
    In connection with in-kind creations, the Authorized Participants 
will submit orders by the In-Kind Order Cutoff Time to create Baskets 
of Shares in exchange for ether.
    On settlement date for an in-kind creation, the Trust delivers 
Shares to the Authorized Participant in exchange for ether received 
from the Authorized Participant, or its designated agent or client. The 
Authorized Participant or its designated agent or client will deposit 
such ether to the Trust's Trading Account at the Prime Execution Agent. 
In the event the Authorized Participant, its designated agent or 
client, has not deposited the ether to the Trust's Trading Account at 
the Prime Execution Agent by the applicable time on the settlement date 
of the in-kind creation order, the Authorized Participant will be given 
the option to (1) cancel the in-kind creation order, (2) delay 
settlement of the order to enable delivery of ether at a later date, or 
(3) accept that the Trust will execute a ether transaction required for 
the creation and the Authorized Participant will deliver the U.S. 
dollars required for this purchase. In the case of (3) only, the 
Authorized Participant is responsible for the dollar cost of the 
difference between the ether price utilized in calculating NAV per 
Share on trade date and the price at which the Trust acquires the ether 
to the extent the price realized in buying the ether is higher than the 
ether price utilized in the NAV. To the extent the price realized in 
buying the ether is lower than the price utilized in the NAV, the 
Authorized Participant shall get to keep the dollar impact of any such 
difference.
Cash Redemption
    Following the Cash Order Cutoff Time for a cash redemption order, 
the Trust may choose, in its sole discretion, to enter into a 
transaction with an Ether Trading Counterparty or the Prime Execution 
Agent, to sell ether in exchange for cash. After the Cash Order Cutoff 
Time, the Trust instructs the Ether Custodian to prepare to move the 
associated ether from the Trust's Custody Account to the Trust's 
Trading Account. On settlement date for a cash redemption order, the 
Authorized Participant delivers the necessary Shares to the Trust, and 
on or around settlement date, an Ether Trading Counterparty or Prime 
Execution Agent, as applicable, delivers the cash associated with the 
Trust's sale of ether to the Trust in exchange for the Trust's ether, 
and the Trust delivers cash to the Authorized Participant. In the event 
the

[[Page 31510]]

Trust has not been able to successfully execute and complete settlement 
of an ether transaction by the settlement date, the Authorized 
Participant will be given the option to (1) cancel the cash redemption 
order, or (2) accept that the Trust will continue to attempt to 
complete the execution, which will delay the settlement date. With 
respect to a cash redemption order, between the Trust and the 
Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant will be responsible 
for the dollar cost of the difference between the ether price utilized 
in calculating the NAV per Share on trade date and the price realized 
in selling the ether to raise the cash needed for the cash redemption 
order to the extent the price realized in selling the ether is lower 
than the ether price utilized in the NAV. To the extent the price 
realized in selling the ether is higher than the price utilized in the 
NAV, the Authorized Participant will get to keep the dollar impact of 
any such difference.
    The Trust may use financing in connection with a cash redemption 
order when ether remains in the Trust's Custody Account at the point of 
intended execution of a sale of ether. In those circumstances, the 
Trust may borrow Trade Credits in the form of ether from the Trade 
Credit Lender, which allows the Trust to sell ether through the Prime 
Execution Agent on trade date, and the cash proceeds are deposited in 
the Trust's Trading Account. On settlement date for a cash redemption 
order, the Trust delivers cash to the Authorized Participant in 
exchange for Shares received from the Authorized Participant. In the 
event financing was used, the Trust will use the ether moved from the 
Trust's Custody Account to the Trading Account to repay the Trade 
Credits borrowed from the Trade Credit Lender.
In-Kind Redemptions
    In connection with in-kind redemptions, the Authorized Participants 
will submit orders by the In-Kind Order Cutoff Time to redeem Baskets 
of Shares in exchange for ether.
    On settlement date for an in-kind redemption, the Trust delivers 
ether to the account of the Authorized Participant or its designated 
agent or client at the Prime Execution Agent in exchange for Shares 
received from the Authorized Participant.
Proposal 2: Creation and Redemption of Shares
    The Exchange also proposes to modify the Original ETHA Filing 
section ``Creation and Redemption of Shares'' to integrate the proposed 
in-kind creation and redemption process. Specifically, the Original 
ETHA Filing currently states that Baskets are only issued or redeemed 
in exchange for an amount of cash determined by the Trustee on each day 
that Nasdaq is open for regular trading. No Shares are issued unless 
the Cash Custodian has allocated to the Trust's account the 
corresponding amount of cash. The amount of cash necessary for the 
creation of a Basket, or to be received upon redemption of a Basket, 
will decrease over the life of the Trust, due to the payment or accrual 
of fees and other expenses or liabilities payable by the Trust.
    The Exchange now proposes to delete the above language from the 
Original ETHA Filing, and replace it with the following: Baskets are 
only issued or redeemed in exchange for an amount of ether and/or cash 
determined by the Trustee on each day that Nasdaq is open for regular 
trading. No Shares are issued unless the Authorized Participant has 
properly delivered the requisite amount of cash or ether to the Trust's 
account.\10\ The amount of ether or cash necessary for the creation of 
a Basket, or to be received upon redemption of a Basket, will decrease 
over the life of the Trust, due to the payment or accrual of fees and 
other expenses or liabilities payable by the Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The amount of cash or ether is based on the NAV of the 
Trust on the trade date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\11\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\ in particular, in that it is designed to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments 
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national 
market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public 
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that permitting in-kind transfers with 
respect to the Trust's creation and redemption process promotes just 
and equitable principles of trade and helps remove impediments to and 
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market 
system. As discussed above, the proposed changes would permit the Trust 
to utilize an in-kind creation and redemption process in addition to 
the cash creation and redemption process. This added ability would make 
the Trust (and the market more generally) operate more efficiently 
because Authorized Participants, their designated agents or clients, 
would be able to source ether rather than to provide cash to the Trust 
and/or receive ether from the Trust. This means that the Authorized 
Participant, its designated agent or client, would be responsible for 
buying and selling the ether rather than the Trust itself, which would 
potentially lessen the impact on the market of the Trust on both sides 
of the transaction by allowing the Authorized Participant to decide how 
and where to source the underlying ether for creations and deciding 
how, where, and whether to sell the underlying ether for redemptions. 
This could lead to improvements in the creation and redemption process 
for both Authorized Participants and the Trust, and could potentially 
increase efficiency, and ultimately benefit the end investors in the 
Trust.
    Except for the changes described above, all other representations 
in the Original ETHA Filing remain unchanged and will continue to 
constitute continued listing requirements. In addition, the Trust will 
continue to comply with the terms of the Original ETHA Filing and the 
requirements in Rule 5711(d).

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As discussed above, the 
proposed amendments are intended to allow for in-kind transfers. The 
Exchange believes that the proposed changes would increase operational 
efficiencies for the Trust (and the market more generally). The 
Exchange believes the changes proposed herein will not impose any 
burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Notice of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \13\ 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

[[Page 31511]]

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 July 12, 2025. The Commission is extending this 
45-day time period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it 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 the issues 
raised therein. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 
19(b)(2) of the Act,\14\ designates August 26, 2025, as the date by 
which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute 
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule 
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
