Published Date: 3/9/2026

The update is effective immediately, so no waiting around, and it helps keep trading smooth and fair.

24X adopts national round‑lot rule
If you trade on 24X, the Exchange changed its Rule 11.6(q)(1) so that a "Round Lot" now follows the size assigned by the primary listing market under Rule 600 of Regulation NMS instead of defaulting to 100 shares. The Exchange also updated Rule 11.20(d)(1) so the "normal unit of trading" refers to that Round Lot definition.
New round‑lot sizes and schedule
Under Rule 600 of Regulation NMS (implemented November 3, 2025), a Round Lot for NMS stocks is set by average closing price: $250.00 or less = 100 shares; $250.01–$1,000.00 = 40 shares; $1,000.01–$10,000.00 = 10 shares; $10,000.01 or more = 1 share. Adjustments occur on a semiannual basis using a one‑month Evaluation Period (March for May assignments; September for November assignments), and a stock that becomes an NMS stock during an operative period has a Round Lot of 100 shares.
Rule change effective immediately
The Exchange filed the change on February 24, 2026 and requested a waiver of the usual 30‑day operative delay; the Commission waived the delay and designated the proposal operative upon filing, so the conforming rule changes are implemented immediately. The filing states there are no additional operational changes to the affected rules.

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."
