RMOs May Be Allowed to Act as Principal
On May 21, 2025, EDGX filed a proposed rule change to let a Retail Member Organization (RMO) enter a Retail Order onto the EDGX Exchange in a principal capacity if the RMO satisfies the requirements of proposed Rule 11.21(g). The SEC published the proposal on June 10, 2025, and set September 8, 2025, as the date by which it will act on the proposal.
New Compliance and Documentation Requirements
The proposed Rule 11.21(g) would add requirements that an RMO must meet to enter Retail Orders as principal, and EDGX proposes to amend Rule 11.21(b)(6) to require RMOs to have policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with Rule 11.21(g)(1). RMOs would also need to be able to produce documentation evidencing compliance upon the Exchange's request.
