New Hosted Solutions Program: Waivers and Fees
Cboe created a Small Retail Broker Hosted Solutions Program that gives fee credits and waivers when a Hosting Small Retail Broker provides data to at least one External Hosted Subscriber. Hosting brokers get a credit of their Distribution Fee ($750/month for EDGX Top and $3,500/month for Cboe One Summary). The External Hosted Subscriber gets the Distribution Fee waived (same amounts), the Cboe One Data Consolidation Fee waived ($350/month), and instead of per-user Non-Professional fees pays a flat monthly fee of $750 for EDGX Top and $850 for Cboe One Summary; Professional User fees do not change.
Higher Non-Professional User Cap (5,000 → 10,000)
The Exchange raises the maximum Non-Professional Data User count for the Small Retail Broker Program from 5,000 to 10,000 for both the Cboe One Summary Feed and the EDGX Top Data Feed. The proposed Program also uses a 10,000 Non-Professional Data User cap for External Hosted Subscribers.
Eligibility Cutoff if Users Exceed 10,000
An External Hosted Subscriber that exceeds 10,000 Non-Professional Data Users for Cboe One Summary or EDGX Top will no longer be eligible for the program and must directly license the Applicable Feed from the Exchange. The 10,000-user limit is applied at the firm level for both Hosting brokers and each External Hosted Subscriber separately.
