Removal of $0.05 Digital-Asset Options Discount
NYSE Arca removed a special pricing incentive that gave a $0.05 per-contract discount (or $0.05 credit on certain post-liquidity executions) for options on NYSE Arca Equities-listed digital asset ETFs. The change was filed January 30, 2026 and is effective upon filing, so those executions no longer receive the $0.05 adjustment. The incentive previously did not apply to QCC transactions and was excluded from the daily fee cap and Manual Billable Rebate Program.
