(“NYSE Arca” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

The Exchange proposes to amend the Franklin Responsibly Sourced Gold ETF (the “Fund”), shares of which are currently listed and traded on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic), to list and trade on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Generic).

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 self-regulatory organization 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 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. ( printed page 73374)

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

1. Purpose

The Exchange proposes to amend the Fund, shares of which are currently listed and traded on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic), to list and trade on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Generic).^[4]

The Commission approved the listing and trading of shares of the Fund (the “Shares”) on the Exchange under Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic) on April 19, 2022.^[5] Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic) governs the listing and trading of Commodity-Based Trust Shares, which are securities issued by a trust (“Trust”) that holds a specified commodity, or a specified commodity and, in addition to such specified commodity, cash, 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 that, when aggregated in the same specified minimum amount, may be redeemed by such Trust.

On July 28, 2026, the Commission approved a proposed rule change to amend Rule 8.201-E (Generic).^[6] Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, allows for up to 15% of a trust's net asset value (NAV) to consist of digital commodities or securities that do not independently meet the core generic eligibility criteria; adds “digital commodity” ^[7] as a defined term; and allows for actively managed Commodity-Based Trust Shares.^[8]

The Exchange proposes to now list and trade the Shares of the Fund pursuant to the generic listing standards set forth in Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, which would permit the Fund to operate in reliance on the generic listing standards in Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, instead of the terms of the Original Approval Order. The Exchange represents that the Shares will meet the requirements of Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, on an initial and continued listing basis. In addition, the Exchange will comply with the requirements of Rule 19b-4(e) to list and trade Shares of the Fund on the Exchange.

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) ^[9] of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) ^[10] 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 allow the Fund to be listed and traded under Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, instead of Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic). The proposed change would permit the Fund to operate in reliance on the generic listing standards in Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, instead of the terms of the Original Approval Order, thereby facilitating the listing and trading of an exchange-traded product that will enhance competition among market participants, to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. The Exchange represents that the Shares will meet the requirements of Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, on an initial and continued listing basis.

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 purpose of the Act. As discussed above, the proposed change is intended to facilitate the initial and continued listing and trading of the Shares on the Exchange, thereby promoting competition among exchange-traded products to the benefit of investors and the marketplace.

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

No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.

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

Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act ^[11] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.^[12]

At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
