Summary
Nasdaq MRX is changing how it charges for co-location services, which means companies that rent space in its data centers will pay based on power use instead of cabinet density.

Analyzed Economic Effects

Switch to $550 per kVA Billing
If you rent co-location space at Nasdaq MRX, the Exchange is replacing cabinet-density monthly fees with a uniform ongoing monthly charge of $550.00 per kilovolt-ampere (kVA) applied to each power circuit under Rule General 8, Section 1(c). This change was filed January 15, 2026 and is effective upon filing.
Lower Power Users Pay Less; High Users Pay More
Under examples Nasdaq MRX provided, a Low Density customer moves from $2,200/month to $1,320/month (a 40% decrease), while a Super High Density example moves from $8,800/month to about $11,888.45/month (a ~35% increase) or $12,650.53/month (~44% increase) depending on circuit choice. Other examples include Medium Density from $2,750 to $1,980 (-28%) and Ultra High Density from $7,230 to $7,906.58 (+9.36%).
Installation Fees Left Unchanged
The Exchange will keep existing cabinet and cabinet power circuit installation fees unchanged (for example, installation fees of $3,850 for certain NY11 cabinets and $5,940 for NY11-4 cabinets are retained). The Half Cabinet offering is retained but its ongoing monthly fee under Section 1(a) is removed.
Change Effective Immediately; Commission Review Window
The filing was submitted on January 15, 2026 and became effective upon filing under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii). The SEC may summarily suspend the rule within 60 days of filing, and public comments are invited through February 23, 2026.
