10 Gb Port Monthly Fee Increase

One Port Fee Covers Affiliate Access
A single 10 Gb physical port to Cboe EDGX can be used to access the Exchange's affiliated exchanges, and only one monthly fee applies per 10 Gb port regardless of how many Affiliate Exchanges you access. That structure continues under the new $8,500 per month price.
1 Gb Port Fee Remains Unchanged
The Exchange continues to charge $2,500 per month for each 1 Gb physical port and is not changing that fee. Firms with modest capacity needs can continue to use the 1 Gb port option at $2,500 per month.
