Allow up to 15% in digital assets
A Commodity-Based Trust Share listed under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E may hold up to 15% of its net asset value (NAV) in the aggregate in (i) digital commodities that do not meet the rule's commodity criteria or (ii) securities that do not meet the rule's securities criteria. For calculating the 15% limit, any derivative held by the trust is calculated based on its gross notional value.
Active management allowed for commodity trusts
NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E is amended to permit actively managed Commodity-Based Trust Shares to be listed and traded pursuant to the generic standards, provided the trust's holdings are consistent with its investment objective and policies. The Commission approved this amendment on an accelerated basis on July 28, 2026, enabling such actively managed trusts to commence trading without a separate Section 19(b) filing when they meet the generic standards.
New trading-halt and firewall protections
The Exchange will halt trading in a Commodity-Based Trust Share if required portfolio information is not disseminated to all market participants at the same time, and persons (including a Reporting Authority) with access to non-public portfolio information must be subject to procedures preventing misuse or dissemination. These rules apply in addition to existing Rule 8.201-E requirements.
