NYSE Arca moves Franklin Gold ETF to generic listing standards
The Franklin Responsibly Sourced Gold ETF shares listed on NYSE Arca shift from non-generic to generic Rule 8.201-E standards effective immediately upon filing on Oct. 30 2026.
On November 9, 2026, NYSE Arca, Inc. filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Release No. 34-106861; File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2026-109) to amend the Franklin Responsibly Sourced Gold ETF. The filing was made on October 30, 2026.
The amendment would move the Fund's shares from listing and trading pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Non-Generic) to listing and trading pursuant to Rule 8.201-E (Generic). Rule 8.201-E (Generic) was amended on July 28, 2026 to permit up to 15% of a trust's net asset value to consist of digital commodities and to add "digital commodity" as a defined term.
NYSE Arca states that the shares will meet the requirements of Rule 8.201-E (Generic), as amended, on an initial and continued listing basis and that the change does not significantly affect investor protection or impose an undue burden on competition. No written comments were solicited or received.
Because the proposed change does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not impose a significant competition burden, and does not become operative prior to 30 days from the filing date, it is effective immediately pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6). The notice appears in the Federal Register, Volume 91, Number 218, pages 73373-73375 (FR Doc No. 2026-23106).
