Hashdex Bitcoin ETF Moves to Generic Listing
The Hashdex Bitcoin ETF shares will move from listing under Rule 8.500-E (Trust Units) to listing under Rule 8.201-E (Generic Commodity-Based Trust Shares). The Exchange says this transition will allow the Fund to rely on the generic listing standards and facilitate the continued listing and trading of the Shares; the change was filed December 22, 2025.
Listing Rule Change Effective Immediately
The Commission waived the usual 30-day operative delay and designated the proposed rule change operative upon filing, so the transition to Rule 8.201-E was effective when NYSE Arca filed the change on December 22, 2025. That means the Exchange may operate the Fund under the generic listing rule without waiting 30 days.
