The Miami International Securities Exchange (MIAX) has proposed changes to their rules to permit the listing and trading of options on the Fidelity Ethereum Fund. These options aim to provide investors with new opportunities to interact with the cryptocurrency market, particularly Ethereum, in a more transparent and regulated environment rather than the over-the-counter market. To ensure investor protection and market integrity, the proposal also covers specific listing standards and includes position and exercise limits for these options. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has waived the 30-day waiting period, allowing the proposal to become immediately effective.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved rule changes proposed by Nasdaq to enhance the enforcement of listing standards for companies trading on its exchange. The approved changes involve the suspension of trading for companies that have not met the minimum bid price requirement after a second compliance period, even if they appeal the decision. Additionally, Nasdaq will not allow a compliance period for companies that fail to meet the bid price requirement within one year of a reverse stock split. These changes are intended to protect investors by reducing the risk of manipulation and ensuring the integrity of the stock market, particularly by addressing issues with companies that repeatedly fail to meet listing standards.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a new rule proposed by NYSE American LLC to strengthen its listing standards for companies that conduct reverse stock splits. According to the rule, a company will face immediate suspension and delisting if it has executed one or more reverse stock splits with a cumulative ratio of 200 shares or more to one in the past two years, or if its reverse stock split makes it fall below existing listing requirements. The SEC believes this measure will help protect investors by ensuring that companies with financial difficulties do not unduly remain on the exchange by manipulating their stock prices through reverse stock splits. Companies affected by this rule still have the opportunity to challenge delisting decisions.

Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission to change its rules to allow listing options on certain Bitcoin ETFs, such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.

These options will have a position limit of 25,000 contracts to prevent market manipulation, and the proposal includes provisions for initial and continued listing standards. The SEC is inviting public comments on this proposal.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing a proposal from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that would require companies to pay all outstanding fees before their compliance plans can be reviewed if they are below listing standards. If fees remain unpaid by a certain deadline, the NYSE could begin suspension and delisting procedures immediately. The SEC is concerned about whether this change is fair, promotes just and equitable trade principles, and protects investors. They are inviting comments from the public to help decide whether the rule should be approved.
