COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–102279; File No. SR– 

CboeBZX–2025–006] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

and Immediate Effectiveness of a 

Proposed Rule Change To Allow the 

Exchange To List Options Certain 

ETFs That Hold Precious Metals 

(Including Gold, Silver, Palladium, and 

Platinum) 

January 24, 2025. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

notice is hereby given that on January 

16, 2025, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. 

(‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Item I below, 

which Item has been substantially 

prepared by the Exchange. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to allow the 

Exchange to list options certain ETFs 

that hold precious metals (including 

gold, silver, palladium, and platinum). 

The text of the proposed rule change is 

provided in Exhibit 5. 

The proposed rule change, including 

the Exchange’s statement of the purpose 

of, and statutory basis for, the proposed 

rule change, is available on the 

Exchange’s website at http://

markets.cboe.com/us/equities/ 

regulation/rule_filings/bzx/ and on the 

Commission’s website at https://

www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/selfregulatory-organization-rulemaking/ 

national-securities-exchanges?file_

number=SR-CboeBZX-2025-006. 

II. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed 

Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 4 thereunder. 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; or (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 5 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 6 thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 7 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),8 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposed rule change may become 

operative immediately upon filing. The 

Commission believes that waving the 

30-day operative delay is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest because rules of other 

options exchanges permit the listing and 

trading of options on the Precious Metal 

ETFs and the proposal does not 

introduce any novel regulatory issues. 

Accordingly, the Commission 

designates the proposed rule change to 

be operative upon filing.9

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission will institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

III. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.10

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

and Immediate Effectiveness of a 

Proposed Rule Change To Allow the 

Exchange To List Options Certain 

ETFs That Hold Precious Metals 

(Including Gold, Silver, Palladium, and 

Platinum) 

January 24, 2025. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

notice is hereby given that on January 

17, 2025, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. 

(‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Item I below, 

which Item has been substantially 

prepared by the Exchange. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to allow the 

Exchange to list options certain ETFs 

that hold precious metals (including 

gold, silver, palladium, and platinum). 

The text of the proposed rule change is 

provided in Exhibit 5. 

The proposed rule change, including 

the Exchange’s statement of the purpose 

of, and statutory basis for, the proposed 

rule change, is available on the 

Exchange’s website at http://

number=SR-CboeEDGX-2025-004. 

II. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed 

Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 4 thereunder. 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; or (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 5 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 6 thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 7 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),8 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposed rule change may become 

operative immediately upon filing. The 

Commission believes that waving the 

30-day operative delay is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest because rules of other 

options exchanges permit the listing and 

trading of options on the Precious Metal 

ETFs and the proposal does not 

introduce any novel regulatory issues. 

Accordingly, the Commission 

designates the proposed rule change to 

be operative upon filing.9

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission will institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

III. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.10
