Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Fees Only When Port Is Live
If you are a trading firm or connect to Cboe, Cboe clarified that monthly Logical Port Fees apply only when the corresponding logical port type is available in the live production environment. The change was filed on January 29, 2026 and is effective upon filing, and it means you will not be charged the monthly fee for a logical port until that port type is live on the exchange.
Weekend Testing Ports Remain Free
If you use Cboe's weekend testing in the production environment, logical ports that support protocols not yet launched in the live production environment will be free during those weekend testing periods. Participation in weekend testing is voluntary, and Cboe will not assess the monthly Logical Port Fee for those ports until the port type is available in the live production environment.
