SEC Order 34-106268 Advances Nasdaq Texas Rule 5711(d)
The Federal Register published document 2026-18291 on September 9, 2026, placing the Nasdaq Texas rule change for commodity-based trust shares into a 21-day public comment period.
Community hosts on the daily broadcast flagged the Federal Register entry as the next item for watchers to track in real time. Wed Sep. 9 brings Federal Register 2026-18291 (91 FR 57392) that publishes the Nasdaq Texas Rule 5711(d) approval notice, and the 21-day comment clock begins immediately. The amendment adds a 15 percent NAV buffer for digital commodities that fall short of strict listing standards, with BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP named only as examples inside the trust-share framework.
What the filing actually changes
The document stems from Order 34-106268 dated September 3 and does not create a new federal commodity classification. It simply lets commodity-based trusts operate with a modest buffer when the underlying asset meets the exchange definition of digital commodity. Readers can open the Federal Register link and the 247wallst.com explainer to see the exact language and the limits of this step.
Price snapshot at publication
CoinGecko recorded the majors near 10:53 p.m. ET on the same day: BTC at $78,290 down 0.6 percent, ETH at $2,472.97 down 0.9 percent, XRP at $1.39 down 2.0 percent, SOL at $101.75 down 1.8 percent, and DOGE at $0.085936 down 4.6 percent. The market showed modest declines across the board while attention stayed on the regulatory filing rather than price movement.
What readers should do next
Pull the official Federal Register document and the 247wallst.com breakdown before the comment window closes. Note the 15 percent buffer details and the fact that the cited tokens serve only as examples, not as new statutory definitions. Watch for any formal comments that arrive in the next three weeks and check CoinGecko or the exchange site for updates on how trust products might list under the revised rule.
Key distinctions to keep in mind
This filing stays separate from other dockets such as W140, W158, or W176 Prelogar. It addresses an exchange-specific rule amendment for trust shares, not a broader commodity reclassification. Keeping those lines clear helps readers avoid mixing separate regulatory tracks.
The immediate action is straightforward: read the source documents, mark the 21-day deadline, and monitor how the majors react once comments begin to appear. That sequence keeps the focus on the filing itself and the next steps available to anyone following the majors.
