December 7, 2018.
    On October 9, 2018, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or 
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a 
proposed rule change to list and trade shares the WisdomTree Long-Term 
Treasury PutWrite Strategy Fund, WisdomTree Corporate Bond PutWrite 
Strategy Fund, WisdomTree International PutWrite Strategy Fund, and 
WisdomTree Emerging Markets PutWrite Strategy Fund, each a series of 
the WisdomTree Trust, pursuant to BZX Rule 14.11(i), which governs the 
listing and trading of Managed Fund Shares on the Exchange. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on October 25, 2018.\3\ On December 3, 2018, the Exchange filed 
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission has 
received no comment letters on the proposed rule change.

2018), 83 FR 53928.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \4\ provides that, within 45 days of 
the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or 
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate 
if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its 
reasons for so finding, or as to which the self-regulatory organization 
consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, 
disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 
45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change 
is December 9, 2018. The Commission is extending this 45-day time 
period.

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer 
period within which to take action on the proposal so that it has 
sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change in light of the 
recently filed Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant 
to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ designates January 23, 2019, as the 
date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed 
rule change (File No. SR-CboeBZX-2018-078), as modified by Amendment 
No. 1.
