Extended tiered monthly DMM quoting credits
If you are a Designated Market Maker (DMM), the NYSE keeps the existing monthly credits for the first 12 months after an ETP lists ($4,000 for quoting 30%+ of the time or $2,000 for under 30%). For months 13 through 36 after listing, new tiered credits apply: a $2,000 monthly credit if you quote 30%+ and the ETP has CADV ≥ 100,000 shares and you provide ≥ 15% liquidity; a $2,000 monthly credit if you quote 30%+ and the ETP has CADV < 100,000 but you provide ≥ 40% liquidity; and a $500 monthly credit if you do not meet those post-12-month requirements. These rules take effect June 16, 2025 and apply only while the ETP remains listed on the Exchange.
One-time DMM assignment incentives by ETP count
DMMs will be eligible for a one-time payment based on how many ETPs they have assigned as of June 30, 2025: $15,000 if the DMM has 1–20 assigned ETPs as of that date, or $60,000 if the DMM has more than 20 assigned ETPs as of that date. The one-time incentive is part of the Price List changes the Exchange filed effective June 16, 2025.
