    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has proposed a rule change to allow the listing of options on Commodity-Based Trust Shares, which are shares that represent interests in commodities held in trusts, on their exchange. This aims to reduce listing times and costs by eliminating the need for separate approvals, enabling options on these trusts to be traded similarly to other ETFs. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking public comments on this proposal to determine whether it aligns with trading regulations and if it should be approved. If successful, this would provide investors with more tools for hedging and trading in a regulated market environment.
