Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
New Drop Copy Port Fee Introduced
NYSE Texas began charging $455 per month for each drop copy port starting July 1, 2025. Only one $455 fee applies per drop copy port even if it receives drop copies from multiple order/quote ports; backup-datacenter drop copy ports that are duplicative of another port would not be charged, and monthly fees are prorated to trading days; firms connecting via Brokerplex remain exempt from port fees.
Order/Quote Port Billing Changes
If your firm uses order/quote entry ports to connect to NYSE Texas, the Exchange changed how it bills those ports effective July 1, 2025. The monthly port fee remains $455 per port, but fees will not apply to backup-datacenter ports that are not used during a billing month and will be prorated to the number of trading days (including scheduled early-closing days) a port is connected; a backup port used while the primary datacenter is available would still be charged.
Changes Took Effect Immediately
The Exchange's fee changes were filed and made effective on July 1, 2025, so firms could see the new port billing rules and the new drop-copy fees on bills for that month. Participant Firms should check invoices for July 2025 and afterward to confirm proration, backup-datacenter treatment, and any new $455/month drop copy port charges.
