SEC Delays Decisions on Proposed Rules from Nasdaq and Cboe Exchanges
Published Date: 11/17/2025
Notice
Summary
The SEC is taking extra time to review rule changes proposed by several big stock and options exchanges, clearinghouses, and market boards. These groups, like Nasdaq and Cboe, want to update their rules, but the SEC needs more time to decide if these changes are good or not. This means the final decisions will come later than usual, but it helps ensure the rules are fair and clear for everyone involved.
