    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has proposed a rule change to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow the Franklin Crypto Index ETF to stake ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network. Staking involves locking ether to help validate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, which can result in earning additional ether as rewards. This change is expected to make the ETF more efficient by allowing it to generate more returns for its investors, similar to how dividends work with traditional stocks. The proposal notes that this activity will not impact competition and invites public comments before the SEC finalizes its decision.

    Simple Explanation

    Cboe BZX Exchange wants to change the rules so a special fund called the Franklin Crypto Index ETF can earn more money by using a kind of digital piggy bank with a magical coin called ether. This means they help keep the magic of Ethereum working smoothly, and in return, they get more ether coins as a thank-you!

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has changed the rules for letters of credit (LOCs) required for recipients of high-cost support under the Universal Service Fund programs. Previously, banks needed a specific safety rating to issue LOCs, but now they must be “well capitalized” according to federal bank standards. This change aims to make it easier for companies to secure LOCs, which are necessary to ensure rapid broadband deployment. Additionally, the FCC is allowing recipients to reduce the value of their LOCs faster if they meet certain deployment milestones, freeing up funds for more broadband expansion.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC changed the rules so that companies can get help faster for building internet in hard-to-reach places by making it easier for them to get special bank promises called "letters of credit."
