10Gb Ultra Monthly Fee Rises to $18,500
If you buy a 10Gb Ultra fiber connection to Nasdaq MRX, the ongoing monthly fee increases from $16,500 to $18,500 per month starting January 2, 2026. The installation fee remains $1,650.
MRX Price Still Lower Than NYSE Alternative
Even after the increase to $18,500 per month, Nasdaq MRX says its 10Gb Ultra monthly fee is lower than NYSE's comparable monthly fee of $22,000 and that MRX's installation fee of $1,650 is lower than NYSE's $15,000 installation fee. This comparison may affect firms choosing between exchange connectivity providers.
One Fee Covers Multiple Nasdaq Affiliates
One 10Gb Ultra fiber connection and its single monthly fee lets you access Nasdaq MRX plus listed affiliated exchanges (for example, Nasdaq Stock Market, Nasdaq Options Market, Nasdaq BX, and others) without paying an extra monthly fee per affiliate. That single-fee rule continues under the proposal.
