Data‑feed monthly fee changes
If you are a User who buys connectivity to third‑party data feeds, NYSE Arca changed the monthly recurring connectivity fees for many feeds and added new feeds with stated monthly prices. Examples added or changed in the filing include: Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS) for $750/month; Cboe CFE Futures for $1,500/month; Long Term Stock Exchange for $2,600/month; MEMX Equities for $2,000/month; MEMX Options for $2,000/month; Small Exchange for $1,000/month; Cboe Canada (combined) at $2,000/month; Nasdaq Stock Market (combined) at $3,000/month; TMX Group (combined) at $2,500/month; and multiple MIAX feeds at $2,600/month each. These new fees are part of the April 16, 2025 filing and are effective upon that filing.
Connectivity partners may 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 charges through to Users on their invoices without change. The filing specifically notes that the Exchange expects the connectivity partner of BOATS will charge a redistribution fee that will be passed through to the User.
More third‑party systems available
If you are a market participant that uses NYSE Arca colocation services (a "User"), the Exchange added new Third Party Systems you can connect to: Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Long Term Stock Exchange, MEMX, Pragma, and Small Exchange, and it combined Cboe MATCHNow into Cboe Canada. The filing says the monthly recurring fees for access to Third Party Systems will not change and no User would be charged more because of the combinations.

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."
