Summary

Allow Match Trade Prevention on Auction Orders
If you place orders on the Cboe BYX Exchange, you would be allowed to use the exchange's Match Trade Prevention (MTP) feature when entering Periodic Auction Orders for execution. The exchange filed this proposed change on March 14, 2025 and it was published for comment on March 31, 2025; the SEC set June 29, 2025 as the deadline to act on the proposal.
Clarified Order Handling During Auctions
The proposed rule adds text explaining how the exchange system will handle Periodic Auction Orders with MTP instructions in three scenarios: when a Periodic Auction is not in progress, when a Periodic Auction is in progress, and when an order has both an MTP instruction and a Minimum Quantity instruction while an auction is in progress. These clarifications describe how such orders will behave or be processed during auctions.
