SEC Delays Decision on Canary PENGU ETF

The Securities and Exchange Commission extended its review and set March 11, 2026 as the new deadline to approve or disapprove Cboe BZX’s proposal to list the Canary PENGU ETF. The extension adds the 60-day extra review period beyond the 180-day window that ended on January 10, 2026, which delays when investors and traders can buy or sell the ETF but does not yet change any prices or fees.
