23Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the 

Securities Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law 

94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants the Commission 

flexibility to determine what type of proceeding— 

either oral or notice and opportunity for written 

comments—is appropriate for consideration of a 

particular proposal by a self-regulatory 

organization. See Securities Acts Amendments of 

1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban 

Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 

(1975). 24 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(57). 

(‘‘CME Bitcoin Futures ETPs’’). Do 

commenters agree that arguments to 

support the listing of CME Bitcoin 

Futures ETPs apply equally to the 

Shares? Are there particular features 

related to ether and its ecosystem, 

including its proof of stake consensus 

mechanism and concentration of control 

or influence by a few individuals or 

entities, that raise unique concerns 

about ether futures’ susceptibility to 

fraud and manipulation? 

3. What are commenters’ views on 

whether the proposed Trust and Shares 

would be susceptible to manipulation? 

What are commenters’ views generally 

on whether the Exchange’s proposal is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices? 

4. Based on data and analysis 

provided by the Exchange,18 do 

commenters agree with the Exchange 

that the CME represents a regulated 

market of significant size related to the 

holdings of the Trust? 19 Do commenters 

agree with the Exchange that trading in 

the Shares would not be the 

predominant influence on prices in the 

CME ether futures market? 20

5. The Exchange states that several 

exchange-traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’) 

registered under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 that hold ether 

futures contracts have filed registration 

statements with the Commission and 

that these ETFs would offer identical 

exposure to the Trust.21 The Exchange 

asserts that ‘‘if the Commission allows 

these ETFs to begin trading, then it 

should also approve the Trust for 

trading.’’ 22 Do commenters agree? Why 

or why not? 

III. Procedure: Request for Written 

Comments 

The Commission requests that 

interested persons provide written 

submissions of their views, data, and 

arguments with respect to the issues 

identified above, as well as any other 

concerns they may have with the 

proposal. In particular, the Commission 

invites the written views of interested 

persons concerning whether the 

proposal is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) or any other provision of the Act, 

and the rules and regulations 

thereunder. Although there do not 

appear to be any issues relevant to 

approval or disapproval that would be 

facilitated by an oral presentation of 

views, data, and arguments, the 

Commission will consider, pursuant to 

Rule 19b–4, any request for an 

opportunity to make an oral 

presentation.23

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments regarding whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

approved or disapproved by January 12, 

2024. Any person who wishes to file a
