Timestamp Exemption Extended to 2030
MEMX updated its rule to extend the exemptive relief for timestamp granularity from April 8, 2025 to April 8, 2030. Industry Members that capture timestamps more granular than nanoseconds must continue to truncate timestamps after the nanosecond level for submission to the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) rather than rounding, through April 8, 2030.
Rule Change Operative Immediately
MEMX filed the rule change on June 17, 2025 and the Commission designated the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing. That means the amended Rule 4.10 reflecting the April 8, 2030 expiration is effective immediately upon filing.
