V. Conclusion 

Based on the previously mentioned 

considerations, the NRC has determined 

that, pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7, the 

exemptions are authorized by law, will 

not endanger life or property or the 

common defense and security, and are 

otherwise in the public interest. 

Therefore, the NRC grants Maine 

Yankee the exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 

72.212(b)(3), 72.212(b)(5)(i), 

72.212(b)(11), and 72.214. 

These exemptions are effective upon 

publication.

7Bitcoins are digital assets that are issued and 

transferred via a distributed, open-source protocol 

used by a peer-to-peer computer network through 

which transactions are recorded on a public 

transaction ledger known as the ‘‘Bitcoin 

blockchain.’’ The Bitcoin protocol governs the 

creation of new bitcoins and the cryptographic 

system that secures and verifies bitcoin 

transactions. 

8Ether is a digital asset that is native to, and 

minted and transferred via, a distributed, opensource protocol used by a peer-to-peer computer 

network through which transactions are recorded 

on a public transaction ledger known as 

‘‘Ethereum.’’ The Ethereum protocol governs the 

creation of new ether and the cryptographic system 

that secures and verifies transactions on Ethereum. 

9See Amendment No. 1 at 4. The Trust is a 

Delaware statutory trust and will operate pursuant 

to a trust agreement between Bitwise Investment 

Advisers, LLC (‘‘Sponsor’’) and Delaware Trust 

Company, as trustee. Coinbase Custody Trust 

Company, LLC will maintain custody of the Trust’s 

bitcoin and ether. Bank of New York Mellon will 

be the custodian for the Trust’s cash holdings, the 

administrator of the Trust, and the transfer agent for 

the Trust. See id. 

10See id. As of the date of the filing, the relative 

market capitalization of bitcoin and ether were 83% 

bitcoin and 17% ether. The Exchange states that the 

Trust will calculate the market capitalization of 

bitcoin and ether by multiplying the Pricing 

Benchmarks (as defined herein) by the current 

circulating supply of bitcoin and ether respectively, 

as determined by the Sponsor, and will calculate 

the relative market capitalization by dividing each 

of bitcoin and ether’s market capitalization by the 

combined market capitalization of both. See id. at 

4 n.8. 

11See id. at 5. 

12See id. at 7. 

13See id. at 4–5, 7. The Pricing Benchmarks are 

calculated by CF Benchmarks Ltd. based on an 

aggregation of executed trade flow of major bitcoin 

and ether trading platforms and are designed to 

provide a daily, 4:00 p.m. E.T. reference rate of the 

U.S. dollar price of one bitcoin or one ether. See 

id. at 5 n.9. 

consistent with the policies of title 39. 

Applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements include 39 U.S.C. 3632, 39 

U.S.C. 3633, 39 U.S.C. 3642, 39 CFR 

part 3035, and 39 CFR part 3041. 

Comment deadline(s) for each such 

request, if any, appear in Section II. 

Section III identifies the docket 

number(s) associated with each Postal 

Service request, if any, to add a 

standardized distinct product to the 

Competitive product list or to amend a 

standardized distinct product, the title 

of each such request, the request’s 

acceptance date, and the authority cited 

by the Postal Service for each request. 

Standardized distinct products are 

negotiated service agreements that are 

variations of one or more Competitive 

products, and for which financial 

models, minimum rates, and 

classification criteria have undergone 

advance Commission review. See 39 

CFR 3041.110(n); 39 CFR 3041.205(a).

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE

Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting 

Accelerated Approval of a Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1, To List and Trade 

Shares of the Bitwise Bitcoin and 

Ethereum ETF Under NYSE Arca Rule 

8.201–E (Commodity-Based Trust 

Shares) 

January 30, 2025. 

I. Introduction 

On November 26, 2024, NYSE Arca, 

Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant 

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

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’ or 

‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

list and trade shares (‘‘Shares’’) of the 

Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF 

(‘‘Trust’’) under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201– 

E (Commodity-Based Trust Shares). The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

December 16, 2024.3 On January 21, 

2025, the Exchange filed Amendment 

No. 1 to the proposed rule change,4

which superseded the original proposed 

rule change in its entirety. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on Amendment No. 1 

from interested persons and is 

approving the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1 

(‘‘Proposal’’), on an accelerated basis.5

II. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change, as Modified by Amendment 

No. 1 

As described in more detail in 

Amendment No. 1,6 the Exchange 

proposes to list and trade Shares of the 

Trust under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201–E 

(Commodity-Based Trust Shares). The 

Trust will hold both spot bitcoin 7 and 

spot ether.8

According to the Exchange, the 

investment objective of the Trust is to 

seek to provide exposure to the value of 

bitcoin and ether held by the Trust, less 

the expenses of the Trust’s operations 

and other liabilities.9 The Trust’s 

allocation of its assets to bitcoin and 

ether will approximate the relative 

market capitalization of bitcoin and 

ether to one another.10 The Trust’s only 

assets will be bitcoin, ether, and cash.11

The Trust’s net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) and 

NAV per Share will be determined by 

the Administrator once each Exchange 

trading day as of 4:00 p.m. E.T., or as 

soon thereafter as practicable.12 For 

purposes of calculating the Trust’s NAV, 

the Administrator will determine the 

price of the Trust’s bitcoin and ether by 

reference to the CME CF Bitcoin—New 

York Variant for its bitcoin holdings and 

to the CME CF Ether—Dollar Reference 

Rate—New York Variant for its ether 

holdings (the ‘‘Pricing Benchmarks’’).13

The Trust will create and redeem Shares 

from time to time, but only in one or 

more ‘‘Creation Units,’’ which will
