Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proceedings To
Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change, as
Modified by Amendment No. 1, To List and Trade Shares of the Grayscale
XRP Trust Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E (Commodity-Based Trust Shares)
August 18, 2025.
On January 30, 2025, 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 of the Grayscale XRP
Trust under NYSE Arca
[[Page 40870]]
Rule 8.201-E (Commodity-Based Trust Shares). On February 10, 2025, the
Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which
replaced and superseded the original filing in its entirety. The
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, was published for
comment in the Federal Register on February 20, 2025.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102420 (Feb. 13,
2025), 90 FR 10007. Comments received on the proposed rule change
are available at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2025-08/srnysearca202508.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2025-08/srnysearca202508.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 11, 2025, 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 May 20, 2025, the Commission initiated proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to approve or
disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102584, 90 FR 12408
(Mar. 17, 2025) (designating May 21, 2025, as the date by which the
Commission shall either approve, disapprove, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1).
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
\7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 103090, 90 FR 22434
(May 27, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 February
20, 2025.\9\ The 180th day after publication of the proposed rule
change is August 19, 2025. The Commission is extending the time period
for approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an
additional 60 days. The Commission finds it 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
October 18, 2025, as the date by which the Commission shall either
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1 (File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2025-08).
