Summary
NYSE Texas wants to make it easier to trade Commodity-Based Trust Shares by creating a new rule that lets these shares be listed and traded without separate approvals each time. This change affects investors and traders who deal with these shares and could speed up trading processes starting soon after approval. No new fees or costs are mentioned, just a smoother way to get these shares on the market.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Faster Listing of Commodity Trust Shares
If you invest in commodity-based trust shares, NYSE Texas would allow some new series to be listed and traded without a separate SEC approval order or notice of effectiveness under Section 19(b). That means new Commodity-Based Trust Shares that meet the rule’s standards could start trading on the Exchange without filing a separate proposed rule change.
Liquidity Rules and Protocol Staking Disclosure
If a Trust has on a daily basis less than 85% of its assets readily available to meet redemptions, it must maintain written liquidity risk policies reviewed at least annually that cover strategy, cash holdings and funding sources, and the percentage and description of assets that are restricted; for crypto-based series, these policies must describe any protocol-staked assets and the percentage staked.
Required Public Website Disclosures
If you hold or trade these Trust shares, the Trust must publish on its website, free of charge and publicly, items such as ticker, holdings and quantities, percentage weightings, the Trust's current net asset value per share, market price and premium/discount as of the end of the prior business day, a table and line graph of premium/discount history, the Trust's prior-day trading volume, the effective prospectus, and a median-ask spread calculation based on 10-second intervals over the last 30 calendar days.
No Leveraged or Inverse Trusts Allowed
The rule would bar a Commodity-Based Trust from seeking to provide investment returns that are a specified multiple or an inverse (or multiple inverse) of an index, benchmark, or reference value over a predetermined period. That means leveraged or inverse commodity-tracking Trust series cannot be listed under this generic standard.
Delisting Risk Thresholds Specified
If you own a Commodity-Based Trust listed under the rule, the Exchange may suspend trading or delist the series if certain thresholds are breached after the initial 12-month trading period: the Trust has fewer than 50 record/beneficial holders while more than 60 days remain until termination; or there are fewer than 50,000 shares outstanding; or the market value of all shares is under $1,000,000.

2026-17183, Regulation Crypto Assets
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing new rules to create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The proposed offering regime is intended to facilitate capital formation and accommodate innovation within the crypto asset markets while, at the same time, ensuring that investors are adequately protected and provided with the information they need to make informed investment decisions. The proposed rules would be set forth in a new regulation titled "Regulation Crypto Assets" and would include two exemptions from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The first exemption would permit offerings of up to $5 million during a four-year period. The second exemption would permit offerings of up to $75 million during each 12-month period. Under both exemptions, issuers would be required to make certain principles-based narrative disclosures available to their investors. In addition, issuers under the second exemption would be required to provide financial statements and would be subject to ongoing reporting requirements. Issuers that rely on these exemptions would remain subject to the antifraud and antimanipulation provisions of the Federal securities laws. The proposed rules also would include a conditional safe harbor from the term "investment contract" in the definitions of "security" in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If the conditions of that proposed safe harbor are satisfied, then a crypto asset would be deemed not to be subject to an investment contract for purposes of those definitions of "security."
