the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared 
summaries,

[[Page 46949]]

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts 
of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to change the manner in which the shares of 
the Fund (``Shares'') are listed and traded on the Exchange. The Shares 
were originally approved to list and trade on the Exchange pursuant to 
Rule 8.500-E. The Exchange now proposes to list and trade Shares of the 
Fund on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Generic).
    The Commission approved the listing and trading of shares of the 
Fund (the ``Shares'') on the Exchange under Rule 8.500-E on November 
15, 2024.\4\ Rule 8.500-E governs the listing and trading of Trust 
Units, which are securities issued by a trust, limited liability 
company, or other similar entity that, if applicable, is constituted as 
a commodity pool and that holds investments comprising or otherwise 
based on any combination of futures contracts, options on futures 
contracts, forward contracts, swap contracts, commodities, and/or 
securities. Shares of the Fund have not yet listed and traded on the 
Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 101641 (November 15, 
2024), 89 FR 92252 (November 21, 2024) (Notice of Filing of 
Amendment No. 4 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a 
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 4, To List and 
Trade Shares of the 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF 
Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.500-E (Trust Units)) (the ``Original Approval 
Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 17, 2025, the Commission approved a proposed rule 
change to adopt Rule 8.201-E (Generic).\5\ Rule 8.201-E (Generic) 
provides for the generic listing and trading of Commodity-Based Trust 
Shares,\6\ which are permitted to be listed and traded on the Exchange 
without prior Commission approval order or notice of effectiveness 
pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 103995 (September 
17, 2025) (SR-NASDAQ-2025-056; SR-CboeBZX-2025-104; SR-NYSEARCA-
2025-54) (Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule 
Changes, as Modified by Amendments Thereto, to Adopt Generic Listing 
Standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares).
    \6\ Commodity-Based Trust Shares are securities issued by a 
trust, limited liability company, partnership, or other similar 
entity (``Trust'') that represents investors' discrete identifiable 
and undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets deposited 
into the Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to now list and trade the Shares of the Fund 
pursuant to the generic listing standards set forth in Rule 8.201-E 
(Generic), which would permit the Fund to operate in reliance on the 
generic listing standards in Rule 8.201-E (Generic) instead of the 
terms of the Original Approval Order. The Exchange represents that the 
Shares will meet the requirements of Rule 8.201-E (Generic) on an 
initial and continued listing basis. In addition, the Exchange will 
comply with the requirements of Rule 19b-4(e) to list and trade Shares 
of the Fund on the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the 
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) \7\ of 
the Act. Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change 
is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirements that the rules 
of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts 
and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to 
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, 
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and 
facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is designed to 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest 
because it would allow the Fund to be listed and traded under Rule 
8.201-E (Generic) instead of Rule 8.500-E. The proposed change would 
permit the Fund to operate in reliance on the generic listing standards 
in Rule 8.201-E (Generic) instead of the terms of the Original Approval 
Order, thereby facilitating the listing and trading of an exchange-
traded product that will enhance competition among market participants, 
to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. The Exchange 
represents that the Shares will meet the requirements of Rule 8.201-E 
(Generic) on an initial and continued listing basis.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. As discussed above, the 
proposed change is intended to facilitate the initial and continued 
listing and trading of the Shares on the Exchange, thereby promoting 
competition among exchange-traded products to the benefit of investors 
and the marketplace.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    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; and
    (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 \9\ and 
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
