Notice
Summary
NYSE American is giving floor brokers a sweet deal by waiving the usual cap on credits and rebates for QCC trades in January and February 2026. This means brokers can earn more without hitting a limit during these two months. If you’re a floor broker or involved in these trades, get ready for some extra savings early next year!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Waiver of $4,000,000 Monthly Cap
If you are a Floor Broker firm, NYSE American will waive the monthly combined cap (previously set at $4,000,000) on Floor Broker credits for QCC trades and rebates through the Manual Billable Rebate Program for January and February 2026. That means a Floor Broker firm can receive credits and rebates above the $4,000,000 monthly limit during those two months.
Expected Liquidity and Tighter Spreads
NYSE American says the waiver for January and February 2026 is intended to keep Floor Brokers directing order flow to the Exchange, which the Exchange states would increase liquidity and provide more trading opportunities and tighter spreads for market participants during that period.
