Summary
NYSE Texas is updating its fee schedule to charge for connection ports the same way as its sister exchange, NYSE Arca.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
New Drop Copy Port Fee Introduced
NYSE Texas began charging $455 per month for each drop copy port starting July 1, 2025. Only one $455 fee applies per drop copy port even if it receives drop copies from multiple order/quote ports; backup-datacenter drop copy ports that are duplicative of another port would not be charged, and monthly fees are prorated to trading days; firms connecting via Brokerplex remain exempt from port fees.
Order/Quote Port Billing Changes
If your firm uses order/quote entry ports to connect to NYSE Texas, the Exchange changed how it bills those ports effective July 1, 2025. The monthly port fee remains $455 per port, but fees will not apply to backup-datacenter ports that are not used during a billing month and will be prorated to the number of trading days (including scheduled early-closing days) a port is connected; a backup port used while the primary datacenter is available would still be charged.
Changes Took Effect Immediately
The Exchange's fee changes were filed and made effective on July 1, 2025, so firms could see the new port billing rules and the new drop-copy fees on bills for that month. Participant Firms should check invoices for July 2025 and afterward to confirm proration, backup-datacenter treatment, and any new $455/month drop copy port charges.

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."
