Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
New RT‑Auction Fee Calculation and Thresholds
If you are an ETP Holder, the Exchange will change the RT‑Auction Fee calculation effective August 29, 2025: the fee will be based on total cancelled shares (not a cancellation-to-execution ratio), include only marketable Auction‑Only Orders, exclude orders entered by Market Makers, and apply time‑based weights so cancellations closer to the Opening or Closing Auction are weighted more heavily. ETP Holders with an average daily 500,000 or more cancelled shares for each auction and a Weighted Ratio Shares Threshold of 25 or greater may be charged a fee calculated as the Weighted Ratio Shares Threshold (in dollars) multiplied by (Ratio Share Differential/100,000); the fee for an individual auction is capped at $500,000 per month (a $1,000,000 monthly cap across both auctions).
Elimination of RT‑Display Fee
If you are an ETP Holder that previously could be charged the Ratio Threshold Display Fee (RT‑Display Fee), the Exchange is removing that fee from its Fee Schedule and will no longer charge it. This change is effective August 29, 2025 and is intended to simplify the Fee Schedule.
One‑Month Exemption from RT‑Auction Fee
If you are an ETP Holder, the Exchange will not assess the RT‑Auction Fee for the first month you become subject to the fee in any rolling 12‑month period. This exemption is intended to protect firms that first encounter higher cancellation levels when new to the platform, deploying new technology, or testing strategies.
