Notice
Summary

This change affects anyone using these Dedicated Cores and takes effect immediately, meaning users should expect new fees starting now. It’s all about keeping the system fair and clear on costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Tiered monthly Dedicated Core fees
If your firm uses more than two Dedicated Cores, the Exchange will charge monthly per‑core fees: $650 per core for 3–15 cores, $850 per core for 16–30 cores, and $1,050 per core for 31 or more cores. The fees are assessed in full each month and are not prorated (for example, 16 cores would cost $9,300 per month: ($0 * 2) + ($650 * 13) + ($850 * 1)).
BOE logical port fee remains $550/month
The standard Binary Order Entry (BOE) logical port fee of $550 per port per month continues to apply and will still be charged even for the first two Dedicated Cores that the Exchange provides at no additional Dedicated Core charge. Port fees remain unchanged and continue to be billed monthly.
Two Dedicated Cores provided free
The Exchange will provide up to two Dedicated Cores to all Users at no additional cost. Using Dedicated Cores is voluntary — Users may continue to use shared CPU Cores instead, and the offering is available to any User who wishes to purchase Dedicated Cores.
Limits on total Dedicated Cores per User
The Exchange set maximum allocations for Dedicated Cores: Members are limited to 120 Dedicated Cores (effective December 1, 2024), and Sponsoring Members are limited to 35 Dedicated Cores for each Sponsored Access relationship. These caps are intended to manage finite data center space and are applied uniformly to similarly situated Users.

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."
