10 Gb Port Monthly Fee Rises $1,000
If your firm or trading operation buys a 10 Gb physical port from Cboe BZX, the monthly fee increased from $7,500 to $8,500 per port. The change was filed on July 29, 2025 and took effect immediately, so users should expect higher bills starting now.
One 10 Gb Port Fee Covers Multiple Affiliates
A single 10 Gb physical port to Cboe BZX can be used to access its affiliated exchanges (BYX, EDGX, EDGA, C2) and only one monthly fee applies per 10 Gb port regardless of how many Affiliate Exchanges are accessed through that port. That single-fee structure continues under the amended fee schedule.
1 Gb Port Pricing Left Unchanged
Cboe BZX is keeping the monthly fee for 1 Gb physical ports at $2,500 per port. Firms with modest capacity needs can continue to use the 1 Gb option at the existing price.
