COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–94055; File No. SR– 

CboeBZX–2021–051] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

BZX Exchange, 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 ARK 

21Shares Bitcoin ETF Under BZX Rule 

14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust 

Shares 

January 25, 2022. 

On July 20, 2021, Cboe BZX 

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’ 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 

ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF under BZX 

Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based 

Trust Shares. The proposed rule change 

was published for comment in the 

Federal Register on August 6, 2021.3

On September 15, 2021, 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 November 2, 

2021, the Commission instituted 

proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of 

the Act 6 to determine whether to 

approve or disapprove the proposed 

rule change.7 On December 9, 2021, the 

Exchange filed Amendment No. 1, 

which replaced and superseded the 

proposed rule change as originally filed. 

On December 17, 2021, the Commission 

published notice of Amendment No. 1 

to the proposed rule change.8

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 9 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 August 6, 

2021.10 The 180th day after publication 

of the proposed rule change is February 

2, 2022. The Commission is extending 

the time period for approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change, 

as modified by Amendment No. 1, for 

an additional 60 days. 

The Commission finds that it is 

appropriate to designate a longer period 

within which to issue an order 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

rule change, as modified by Amendment 

No. 1, so that it has sufficient time to 

consider the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, and the 

issues raised in the comments that have 

been submitted in connection therewith. 

Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11

designates April 3, 2022, 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–CboeBZX–2021– 

051). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.12

Assistant Secretary.
