SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–94396; File No. SR– 

CboeBZX–2021–052] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

BZX Exchange, Inc.; Order 

Disapproving a Proposed Rule Change 

To List and Trade Shares of the Global 

X Bitcoin Trust Under BZX Rule 

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

Shares 

March 10, 2022. 

I. Introduction 

On August 3, 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 (‘‘Exchange 

Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a 

proposed rule change to list and trade 

shares (‘‘Shares’’) of the Global X 

Bitcoin Trust (‘‘Trust’’) 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 23, 2021.3

On September 29, 2021, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange 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 18, 2021, the Commission 

instituted proceedings under Section 

19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act 6 to 

determine whether to approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change.7

On February 9, 2022, the Commission 

designated a longer period for 

Commission action on the proposed rule 

change.8

This order disapproves the proposed 

rule change. The Commission concludes 

that BZX has not met its burden under 

the Exchange Act and the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice to demonstrate that its 

proposal is consistent with the 

requirements of Exchange Act Section 

6(b)(5), and in particular, the 

requirement that the rules of a national 

securities exchange be ‘‘designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices’’ and ‘‘to protect 

investors and the public interest.’’ 9

When considering whether BZX’s 

proposal to list and trade the Shares is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, the 

Commission applies the same standard 

used in its orders considering previous 

proposals to list bitcoin 10-based 

commodity trusts and bitcoin-based 

trust issued receipts.11 As the 

Commission has explained, an exchange 

that lists bitcoin-based exchange-traded 

products (‘‘ETPs’’) can meet its 

obligations under Exchange Act Section 

6(b)(5) by demonstrating that the 

exchange has a comprehensive 

surveillance-sharing agreement with a 

regulated market of significant size 

related to the underlying or reference 

bitcoin assets.12

The standard requires such 

surveillance-sharing agreements since 

they ‘‘provide a necessary deterrent to 

manipulation because they facilitate the 

availability of information needed to 

fully investigate a manipulation if it 

were to occur.’’ 13 The Commission has 

emphasized that it is essential for an 

exchange listing a derivative securities 

product to enter into a surveillancesharing agreement with markets trading 

the underlying assets for the listing 

exchange to have the ability to obtain 

information necessary to detect, 

investigate, and deter fraud and market 

manipulation, as well as violations of 

exchange rules and applicable federal 

securities laws and rules.14 The 

hallmarks of a surveillance-sharing 

agreement are that the agreement
