No, the SEC has not ordered SLV (iShares Silver Trust) to delist; in fact, recent filings show discussions and rule changes by exchanges (like Nasdaq) to expand options trading on SLV, indicating continued listing and market activity, not delisting. The SEC’s involvement with SLV has focused on approving new options trading rules for products like SLV, not removing them from trading.
Key Points:
- No Delisting Order: There are no records or news indicating the SEC ordered SLV to delist.
- Continued Trading: Exchanges are proposing rule changes to facilitate more options trading on SLV, alongside other major ETFs like GLD and TLT, suggesting ongoing market interest and regulatory approval.
- SEC’s Role: The SEC reviews and approves these proposed rule changes from exchanges (Self-Regulatory Organizations or SROs), as seen in their filings related to SLV options.
In essence, the opposite of delisting is happening – the market is looking to enhance trading opportunities for SLV options.
