Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Third-Party Systems List Updated
If you use NYSE American colocation services, the Exchange changed the list of third‑party execution systems you can connect to. The rule deletes systems that no User connects to (for example, Americas Trading Group (ATG), Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), Credit Suisse, Euronext Optiq Unicast entries, and OneChicago) and consolidates or renames others (e.g., Cboe exchanges combined as “Cboe US,” MIAX and MIAX Pearl combined as “MIAX,” Nasdaq and Nasdaq ISE combined as “Nasdaq US Stock Market,” and name changes like BM&F Bovespa to B3 Bovespa).
Third-Party Data Feeds List and Fees Clarified
If you pay for feed connectivity at the Mahwah data center, NYSE American updated the list of third‑party data feeds and removed feeds that no User connects to (for example: Canadian Securities Exchange feed, several Euronext Optiq feeds, MSCI 5 Mb and 25 Mb, OneChicago, and Vela SuperFeed 500 Mb–1.25 Gb). The filing also shows the monthly recurring connectivity fees for listed feeds (for example, B3 Bovespa $3,000; Nasdaq Global Index Data Service (GIDS) $100) and states the Exchange is not changing those fees.
No Change to Existing Connectivity Fees
The Exchange says it is not changing any monthly recurring connectivity fees for third‑party systems or data feeds, and that Users will not be charged more as a result of the list changes. Purchase of colocation services remains voluntary and the Fee Schedule is applied uniformly to all Users.
Rule Change Effective Immediately — Check Now
The changes took effect immediately upon filing on March 25, 2025, so traders and firms using colocation services should check the updated Connectivity Fee Schedule and lists to confirm which systems and feeds are listed going forward. The SEC published the filing on April 4, 2025 and invited comments by April 25, 2025.

2026-17183, Regulation Crypto Assets
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing new rules to create a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The proposed offering regime is intended to facilitate capital formation and accommodate innovation within the crypto asset markets while, at the same time, ensuring that investors are adequately protected and provided with the information they need to make informed investment decisions. The proposed rules would be set forth in a new regulation titled "Regulation Crypto Assets" and would include two exemptions from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The first exemption would permit offerings of up to $5 million during a four-year period. The second exemption would permit offerings of up to $75 million during each 12-month period. Under both exemptions, issuers would be required to make certain principles-based narrative disclosures available to their investors. In addition, issuers under the second exemption would be required to provide financial statements and would be subject to ongoing reporting requirements. Issuers that rely on these exemptions would remain subject to the antifraud and antimanipulation provisions of the Federal securities laws. The proposed rules also would include a conditional safe harbor from the term "investment contract" in the definitions of "security" in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If the conditions of that proposed safe harbor are satisfied, then a crypto asset would be deemed not to be subject to an investment contract for purposes of those definitions of "security."
