Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Tier Calculations Use Prior Billing Month
If you trade on NYSE Arca as an ETP Holder, fees and credits for a billing month will be calculated based on your trading activity in the prior billing month. This rule change is effective February 6, 2026 and is intended to let market participants determine the applicable fee or rebate at the time of execution.
CADV and ETP Price Use Second Prior Month
For Lead Market Maker (LMM) transaction fees and credits, NYSE Arca will calculate CADV (consolidated average daily volume) and ETP Price using the second prior month rather than the prior month. This change takes effect February 6, 2026 and applies to how LMM transaction fees and credits are determined.
LMM Base Credit Timing Changes
The base credit an LMM earns for adding liquidity will be based on whether the LMM met performance metrics in the prior month, instead of being based on meeting those metrics in the billing month. This amendment is effective February 6, 2026.
Tape B Credits Use Prior Billing Month
Additional Tape B credits for LMMs and Market Makers will use tier calculations based on an ETP Holder's trading activity in the prior billing month, unless noted otherwise. This change is effective February 6, 2026 and modifies how tiered credits are determined.
