II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

The Commission approved the listing and trading of shares (the “Bitcoin ETP Shares”) of the Bitcoin Fund on the Exchange pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, on January 10, 2024.[4] The Commission approved the listing and trading of shares (the “Eth ETP Shares”) of the Eth Fund on the Exchange pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, on May 23, 2024.[5] The Commission also approved the listing and trading of shares (the “Crypto Index ETP Shares”) of the Crypto Index Fund on the Exchange pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, on December 19, 2024.[6] Exchange Rule 14.11(e)(4) governs the listing and trading of Commodity-Based Trust Shares, which means a security (a) that is issued by a trust that holds (1) a specified commodity deposited with the trust, or (2) a specified commodity and, in addition to such specified commodity, cash; (b) that is issued by such trust in a specified aggregate minimum number in return for a deposit of a quantity of the underlying commodity and/or cash; and (c) that, when aggregated in the same specified minimum number, may be redeemed at a holder's request by such trust which will deliver to the redeeming holder the quantity of the underlying commodity and/or cash. The Bitcoin ETP Shares are issued by the Bitcoin Fund, the Eth ETP Shares are issued by the Eth Fund, and the Crypto Index ETP Shares are issued by the Crypto Index Fund. The Bitcoin Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on September 6, 2023, the Eth Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on February 8, 2024, and the Crypto Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 13, 2024.

Bitcoin Fund

The Exchange proposes to amend several portions of the Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1, as amended, in order to permit in-kind creation and redemptions.

Representations

The Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1 included specific representations making clear that the Bitcoin Fund would only process creations and redemptions in cash. Specifically, the “Franklin Templeton Digital Holdings Trust” section of Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1 stated:

When the Fund sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in cash transactions in large blocks of 50,000 Shares (a “Creation Basket”) at the Fund's NAV. In such cases, a third party that is unaffiliated with the Fund and the Sponsor will use cash to buy and deliver bitcoin to create Shares or withdraw and sell bitcoin for cash to redeem Shares, on behalf of the Fund. Authorized participants will deliver, or ( print page 15500) facilitate the delivery of, cash to the Fund's account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares when they purchase Shares, and the Fund, through the Cash Custodian, will deliver cash to such authorized participants when they redeem Shares. Authorized participants may then offer Shares to the public at prices that depend on various factors, including the supply and demand for Shares, the value of the Fund's assets, and market conditions at the time of a transaction. Shareholders who buy or sell Shares during the day from their broker may do so at a premium or discount relative to the NAV of the Shares of the Fund.[7]

The Exchange proposes to replace the above paragraph as follows:

Creation and Redemption of Shares

Additionally, the “Creation and Redemption of Shares” section of the filing, as amended, includes a detailed description of how the cash-only creation and redemption process works.[10] The Exchange proposes to replace this section as follows:

Creation and Redemption of Shares

When the Fund sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in Creation Baskets that are based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to each Share (net of the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities). Creation Baskets are issued and redeemed in exchange for bitcoin or cash. According to the Registration Statement, on any business day, an authorized participant may place an order to create one or more Creation Baskets. Purchase orders for cash transaction Creation Baskets must be placed by 2:00 p.m. ET (or such other time as disclosed in the Prospectus), or the close of regular trading on the Exchange, whichever is earlier. Purchase orders for in-kind transaction Creation Baskets must be placed by 4:00 p.m. ET (or such other time as disclosed in the Prospectus), or the close of regular trading on the Exchange, whichever is earlier. The day on which an order is properly received is considered the purchase order date.

For cash creations, authorized participants will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to the Fund's account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares. Upon receipt of an approved cash creation order, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, will submit to one or more previously onboarded trading partners an order to buy the amount of bitcoin represented by a Creation Basket. For in-kind creations, authorized participants or their designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, bitcoin to the Fund's account with the bitcoin Custodian in exchange for Shares.

For a cash creation order, the total deposit of cash required is based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date, in an amount sufficient to purchase the requisite amount of bitcoin (as described below). For a creation order in-kind, the total in-kind transfer of bitcoin is based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date. The Administrator determines the quantity of bitcoin associated with a Creation Basket for a given day by dividing the number of bitcoin held by the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, adjusted for the amount of bitcoin constituting estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses of the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, by the quotient of the number of Shares outstanding at the opening of business divided by the number of Shares in a Creation Basket.

The procedures by which an authorized participant can redeem one or more Creation Baskets mirror the procedures for the creation of Creation Baskets. For a cash creation order, an authorized participant will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to create Shares. For an in-kind creation order, an authorized participant or its designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, bitcoin to create Shares. For a cash redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and will receive cash for the Shares delivered. For an in-kind redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and the authorized participant or its designee will receive bitcoin for the Shares delivered.

The Sponsor (including its delegates) will maintain ownership and control of the Fund's bitcoin in a manner consistent with good delivery requirements for spot commodity transactions.

Eth Fund

Similarly, the Exchange proposes to amend several portions of the Eth ETP Amendment No. 1 in order to permit in-kind creations and redemptions.

Representations

The Eth ETP Amendment No. 1 included specific representations making clear that the Eth Fund would only process creations and redemptions in cash. Specifically, the “Franklin Ethereum ETF” section of the Eth ETP Amendment No. 1 stated:

The Exchange proposes to replace the above with the following:

Creation and Redemption of Shares

Additionally, the “Creation and Redemption of Shares” section of the filing includes a detailed description of how the cash-only creation and redemption process works.[15] The Exchange proposes to replace this section as follows:

Crypto Index Fund

The Exchange proposes to amend several portions of the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 in order to permit in-kind creations and redemptions.

Representations

The Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 included specific representations making clear that the Crypto Index Fund would only process creations and redemptions in cash. Specifically, the “Franklin Crypto Index ETF” section of the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 stated:

The Exchange proposes to replace the above with the following:

Creation and Redemption of Shares

Additionally, the “Creation and Redemption of Shares” section of the filing includes a detailed description of how the cash-only creation and redemption process works.[20] The Exchange proposes to replace this section as follows:

Creation and Redemption of Shares

When the Fund sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in Creation Baskets that are based on the quantity of bitcoin and ether attributable to each Share (net of the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities). Creation Baskets are issued and redeemed in exchange for (i) bitcoin and ether or (ii) cash. According to the Registration Statement, on any business day, an authorized participant may place an order to create one or more Creation Baskets. Purchase orders for cash transaction Creation Baskets must be placed by 2:00 p.m. ET (or such other time as disclosed in the Prospectus), or the close of regular trading on the Exchange, whichever is earlier. Purchase orders for in-kind transaction Creation Baskets must be placed by 4:00 p.m. ET (or such other time as disclosed in the Prospectus), or the close of regular trading on the Exchange, whichever is earlier. The day on which an order is properly received is considered the purchase order date.

For cash creations, authorized participants will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to the Fund's account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares. Upon receipt of an approved cash creation order, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, will submit to one or more previously onboarded trading partners an order to buy the amount of bitcoin and ether represented by a Creation Basket. For in-kind creations, authorized participants or their designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, bitcoin and ether to the Fund's account with the Custodian in exchange for Shares.

For a cash creation order, the total deposit of cash required is based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date, in an amount sufficient to purchase the requisite amount of bitcoin and ether (as described below). For a creation order in-kind, the total in-kind transfer of bitcoin and ether is based on the quantity of bitcoin and ether attributable to the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date. The Administrator determines the quantity of bitcoin and ether associated with a Creation Basket for a given day by dividing the number of bitcoin and ether held by the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, adjusted for the amount of bitcoin and ether constituting estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses of the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, by the quotient of the number of Shares outstanding at the opening of business divided by the number of Shares in a Creation Basket.

The procedures by which an authorized participant can redeem one or more Creation Baskets mirror the procedures for the creation of Creation Baskets. For a cash creation order, an authorized participant will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to create Shares. For an in-kind creation order, an authorized participant or its designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, bitcoin and ether to create Shares. For a cash redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and will receive cash for the Shares delivered. For an in-kind redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and the authorized participant or its designee will receive bitcoin and ether for the Shares delivered.

The Sponsor (including its delegates) will maintain ownership and control of the Fund's bitcoin and ether in a manner consistent with good delivery requirements for spot commodity transactions.

Conclusion

Except for the above changes, all other representations in the Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1, as amended, the Eth ETP Amendment No. 1, and the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 remain unchanged and will continue to constitute continuing listing requirements. In addition, the Bitcoin Fund will continue to comply with the terms of Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1, as amended, the Eth Fund will continue to comply with the terms of Eth ETP Amendment No. 1, and the Crypto Index Fund will continue to comply with the terms of the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No.1 and the Funds will continue to comply with the requirements of Rule 14.11(e)(4).

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.[21] Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) [22] requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is designed to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest because it would update representations in the Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1, as amended, the Eth ETP Amendment No. 1, and the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 such that the Funds would be able to engage in in-kind creation and redemptions with authorized participants or their designees, as described above. This ability would make the Funds (and the market more generally) operate more efficiently because authorized participants would be able to source bitcoin and/or ether, as applicable, rather than to provide ( print page 15503) cash to the applicable Fund and to receive bitcoin and/or ether from the Funds. This means that the authorized participant would be responsible for buying and selling the applicable crypto asset(s) rather than the Fund itself, which would potentially lessen the impact on the market of the Funds on both sides of the transaction by allowing the authorized participant to decide how and where to source the underlying crypto asset for creations and deciding how, where, and whether to sell the underlying crypto asset received for redemptions. This would improve the creation and redemption process for both authorized participants and the Funds, increase efficiency, and ultimately benefit the end investors in the Funds.

Except for the addition of in-kind creation and redemption for the Bitcoin Fund as specifically set forth herein, all other representations made in the Bitcoin ETP Amendment No. 1, as amended, remain unchanged, and will continue to constitute continuing listing requirements for the Bitcoin Fund. Except for the addition of in-kind creation and redemption for the Eth Fund as specifically set forth herein, all other representations made in the Eth ETP Amendment No. 1 remain unchanged and will continue to constitute continuing listing requirements for the Eth Fund. Similarly, except for the addition of in-kind creation and redemption for the Crypto Index Fund as specifically set forth herein, all other representations made in the Crypto Index ETP Amendment No. 1 remain unchanged and will continue to constitute continuing listing requirements for the Crypto Index Fund.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As noted above, the proposed amendment is intended to allow the Funds to operate more efficiently by allowing for in-kind creation and redemption. The Exchange believes these changes will not impose any burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action

A. by order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or

B. institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

For creations, authorized participants will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to the Fund's account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares. Upon receipt of an approved creation order, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, will submit an order to buy the amount of ether represented by a Creation Basket. Based off ether executions, the Cash Custodian will request the required cash from the authorized participant. Following receipt by the Cash Custodian of the cash from an authorized participant, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, will approve an order with one or more previously onboarded trading partners to purchase the amount of ether represented by the Creation ( print page 15501) Basket.[11] Authorized participants may then offer Shares to the public at prices that depend on various factors, including the supply and demand for Shares, the value of the Fund's assets, and market conditions at the time of a transaction. Shareholders who buy or sell Shares during the day from their broker may do so at a premium or discount relative to the NAV of the Shares of the Fund.[12]

Creation and Redemption of Shares

When the Fund sells or redeems its Shares, it will do so in Creation Baskets that are based on the quantity of ETH attributable to each Share (net of the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities). Creation Baskets are issued and redeemed in exchange for ETH or cash. According to the Registration Statement, on any business day, an authorized participant may place an order to create one or more Creation Baskets. Purchase orders for cash transaction Creation Baskets must be placed by 2:00 p.m. ET (or such other time as disclosed in the Prospectus), or the close of regular trading on the Exchange, whichever is earlier.

For cash creations, authorized participants will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to the Fund's account with the Cash Custodian in exchange for Shares. Upon receipt of an approved cash creation order, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Fund, will submit to one or more previously onboarded trading partners an order to buy the amount of ETH represented by a Creation Basket. For in-kind creations, authorized participants or their designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, ETH to the Fund's account with the Custodian in exchange for Shares.

For a cash creation order, the total deposit of cash required is based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date, in an amount sufficient to purchase the requisite amount of ETH (as described below). For a creation order in-kind, the total in-kind transfer of ETH is based on the quantity of bitcoin attributable to the Creation Baskets being created determined as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the purchase order date. The Administrator determines the quantity of ETH associated with a Creation Basket for a given day by dividing the number of ETH held by the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, adjusted for the amount of ETH constituting estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses of the Fund as of the opening of business on that business day, by the quotient of the number of Shares outstanding at the opening of business divided by the number of Shares in a Creation Basket.

The procedures by which an authorized participant can redeem one or more Creation Baskets mirror the procedures for the creation of Creation Baskets. For a cash creation order, an authorized participant will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, cash to create Shares. For an in-kind creation order, an authorized participant or its designee will deliver, or facilitate the delivery of, ETH to create Shares. For a cash redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and will receive cash for the Shares delivered. For an in-kind redemption order, an authorized participant will deliver Shares to the Fund and the authorized participant or its designee will receive ETH for the Shares delivered.
