Monthly data‑feed fees changed

Examples: Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS) $750/month; Cboe CFE Futures $1,500/month; Long Term Stock Exchange $2,600/month; MEMX Equities $2,000/month; MEMX Options $2,000/month; Small Exchange $1,000/month; combined Cboe Canada $2,000/month; Nasdaq Stock Market (combined with ISE) $3,000/month; TMX Group (combined with Montreal Exchange) $2,500/month; and multiple MIAX feeds at $2,600/month each.
Connectivity partners can pass through fees
The Exchange added the phrase "and their partners" to clarify that third‑party data providers and their connectivity partners may charge redistribution fees, and the Exchange will pass those fees through to Users on invoices. The filing specifically notes the Exchange expects a BOATS connectivity partner will charge a redistribution fee that will be passed through to the User. This change took effect April 16, 2025.
New third‑party systems added
If you use NYSE Texas colocation services, the Exchange added these Third Party Systems at the Mahwah data center: Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Long Term Stock Exchange, MEMX, Pragma, and Small Exchange. This change took effect on April 16, 2025 and simply makes those systems available for Users to contract with and connect to via existing bandwidth options.
