SEC Extends Review on Commodity Trust Options Rules
Published Date: 9/11/2025
Notice
Summary
The Miami International Securities Exchange and its siblings want to let people trade options on special trust shares tied to commodities like gold or oil. The SEC is taking extra time to decide if this rule change is a good idea, so no final call yet. This affects investors who like options and could open new ways to trade, but the wait means no changes or costs happen right now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Permit Options on Commodity Trusts
Exchanges filed on March 5, 2025 to allow listing and trading of options on units that represent interests in a Commodity-Based Trust. The proposal was published for comment on March 19, 2025 and, if approved, would let investors trade options tied to those trust units.
SEC Decision Delayed to November 14, 2025
The SEC extended its review period by 60 days and set November 14, 2025 as the deadline to approve or disapprove the proposed rule changes; the 180th day after publication would have been September 15, 2025. Because of the extension, no final approval or disapproval will occur before November 14, 2025.
