I. Introduction On January 25, 2022, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 17:22 Oct 13, 2022 Jkt 259001 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94184 (Feb. 8, 2022), 87 FR 8318 (‘‘Notice’’). Comments received on the proposed rule change are available at: https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2022006/srcboebzx2022006.htm. BZX previously filed, and the Commission disapproved, a substantially similar proposal to list and trade the Shares of the Trust. See Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change to List and Trade Shares of the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust Under BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91521 (Apr. 9, 2021), 86 FR 19917 (Apr. 15, 2021); Order Disapproving a Proposed Rule Change To List and Trade Shares of the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust Under BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93700 (Dec. 1, 2021), 86 FR 69322 (Dec. 7, 2021) (SR–CboeBZX– 2021–024) (‘‘WisdomTree Order’’). 4 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94476, 87 FR 16800 (Mar. 24, 2022). 6 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94907, 87 FR 30546 (May 19, 2022). 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95422, 87 FR 48738 (Aug. 10, 2022). 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 2 17 [FR Doc. 2022–22307 Filed 10–13–22; 8:45 am] VerDate Sep<11>2014 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 WisdomTree 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 February 14, 2022.3 On March 18, 2022, 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 May 13, 2022, 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 and on August 4, 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), which requires, in relevant part, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00108 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 analytical framework used in its orders considering previous proposals to list bitcoin 10-based commodity trusts and bitcoin-based trust issued receipts to assess whether a listing exchange of an exchange-traded product (‘‘ETP’’) can meet its obligations under Exchange Act Section 6(b)(5).11 As the Commission 10 Bitcoins are digital assets that are issued and transferred via a decentralized, 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.
