Under BZX Rule 14.11(f)(4), Trust 

Issued Receipts 

June 28, 2018. 

On January 5, 2018, Cboe BZX 

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’) 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 the shares of the 

GraniteShares Bitcoin ETF and the 

GraniteShares Short Bitcoin ETF under 

BZX Rule 14.11(f)(4). The proposed rule 

change was published for comment in 

the Federal Register on January 18, 

2018.3 On February 22, 2018, 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 April 5, 

2018, 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

The Commission has received eight 

comments on the proposed rule 

change.8

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 9 provides 

that, after initiating disapproval 

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 notice and 

comment in the Federal Register on 

January 18, 2018. July 17, 2018, is 180 

days from that date, and September 15, 

2018, is 240 days from that date. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within

disapproving the proposed rule change 

so that it has sufficient time to consider 

this proposed rule change. Accordingly, 

the Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,10 designates 

September 15, 2018, as the date by 

which the Commission shall either 

approve or disapprove the proposed 

rule change (File No. SR–CboeBZX– 

2018–001).
