BZX Exchange Updates Timestamps to Match New SEC Relief Until 2030
Published Date: 6/27/2025
Notice
Summary
Cboe BZX Exchange is updating its rule to match a new SEC exemption that extends special timing rules for trade data until 2030. This change affects traders and firms using the Exchange by giving them more time to follow simpler timestamp rules, helping keep things smooth and clear. The update is effective immediately, so no delays or extra costs are expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Timestamp exemption extended to 2030
If your firm reports trading data to the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) and your systems capture timestamps more granular than a nanosecond, you must truncate those timestamps after the nanosecond level (do not round) when submitting to CAT until April 8, 2030.
Amendment effective immediately upon filing
The Exchange filed the amendment on June 18, 2025 and the Commission waived the usual 30-day delay, so the change is operative upon filing and the April 8, 2030 expiration is effective immediately.
Rule applies equally to all Industry Members
The Exchange states the amendment and the exemptive relief will apply equally to all Industry Members that trade NMS Securities and OTC Equity Securities.
