Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of the Registrant, in connection with the establishment of ten new series of Calamos ETF Trust, we are filing today by electronic submission via EDGAR pursuant to Rule 485(a)(2) three post-effective amendments (Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 45, 46, and 47) to the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A a copy of each of the following:

1. Prospectuses relating to the ten new ETFs (the “Prospectuses”); and

2. Statements of additional information relating to the ten new ETFs (the “SAIs”).

Except as indicated below, the disclosure for each of the ETFs is based on and substantially similar to disclosure previously reviewed by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Registrant’s filing on Form N-1A (SEC Accession Number 0001104659-24-102657) filed on September 25, 2024 pursuant to Rule 485(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) (the “Precedent Filing”).

The Registrant requests selective review of Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 45, 46, and 47 in accordance with the SEC’s release on selective review, Revised Procedures For Processing Registration Statements, Post-Effective Amendments and Preliminary Proxy Materials Filed by Registered Investment Companies, Investment Company Act Release No. 13768 (February 15, 1984).

Prospectuses

The Precedent Filing registered the following ETFs which had the following characteristics:

Fund Name Launch Date Start of Outcome Period

Calamos Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF — Month TBD 1 TBD TBD

Calamos Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF — Month TBD 2 TBD TBD

Calamos Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF — Month TBD 3 TBD TBD

Calamos Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF — Month TBD 4 TBD TBD

The Registrant requests selective review of the Prospectuses listed below. The Prospectuses are substantially similar to the prospectuses in the Precedent Filing. The primary differences are the ETF names, launch dates, downside protection limits, the investment objective and strategy with respect to the underlying ETP(s) and index, the types of options the Fund may use to implement its strategy and the dates on which the respective outcome periods begin and reset for each of the ten new ETFs:1

As explained in more detail in the Prospectus of each new series, the outcome period is an approximate six-month or one-year period, depending on the series, over which each Fund seeks to produce a targeted result. The Funds will not terminate after the conclusion of the Outcome Period. After the conclusion of the Outcome Period, another will begin.

SAIs

The Registrant requests selective review of the SAIs, which are being filed with language that is substantially similar to the Precedent Filing. The differences in the disclosure in these SAIs is that the new SAIs will contain new ETF names, launch dates, downside protection limits, the investment objective and strategy with respect to the underlying ETP(s) and index, the types of options the Fund may use to implement its strategy and the dates on which the outcome periods begin and reset.
