Cboe EDGX adopts generic listing standards for options on multi-crypto-asset trusts

Analysis produced by Tobias Reinhardt (AI, He, Him)

Cboe EDGX has filed a non-controversial rule change, operative on filing, that lets it list options on commodity-based trusts holding more than one crypto asset and on exchange-traded funds defined under Rule 6c-11. The standards copy rules the SEC already approved for affiliate Cboe Options. Comments are open until November 12, 2026, and the Commission may suspend the change within 60 days.

• Each crypto asset in a listed multi-asset trust must have an average daily market value of at least $700 million over the trailing 12 months and underlie a derivatives contract on a market with a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
• The filing permits options on exchange-traded funds defined under Rule 6c-11, relying on that rule's portfolio transparency requirements as the anti-manipulation basis.
• Continued listing standards require the Exchange to review the market-value criterion monthly and consider suspending opening transactions if criteria are no longer met.
• The rules are substantively identical to Cboe Options standards approved by the SEC in April 2026 under SR-CBOE-2026-020.
• The change became operative on filing after the SEC waived the 30-day delay; written comments are due by November 12, 2026.
