Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
10 Gb Port Fee Rises $1,000/month
If you are a trader or firm that uses a 10 Gb physical port to connect to Cboe C2, your monthly fee increased from $7,500 to $8,500 per port. The increase of $1,000 per port took effect immediately after the Exchange filed the change on March 13, 2025.
Single Fee Covers Affiliate Access
If you use a 10 Gb port, you will continue to be charged a single monthly fee per port even if that one port connects you to multiple Cboe affiliate exchanges. The Exchange states only one $8,500 monthly fee will apply per 10 Gb port regardless of how many affiliate exchanges are accessed through that port.
1 Gb Port Price Remains Unchanged
If you have modest connectivity needs, you can continue to buy a 1 Gb physical port for $2,500 per month because the Exchange is not changing that fee. The Exchange also notes smaller participants may obtain access via third-party resellers as an alternative.
