Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Cap Removed from Fee Schedule
The Exchange removed the text in its Fee Schedule that capped how many Dedicated Cores Members and Sponsoring firms may obtain. Historically the Exchange had permitted up to 120 Dedicated Cores for Members and up to 35 Dedicated Cores per Sponsored Access relationship; after this change the caps will be described in the Cboe Titanium U.S. Equities Binary Order Entry Specification rather than the Fee Schedule.
Caps Will Be Set in Technical Spec
The Exchange will continue to apply maximum limits on Dedicated Cores, but those limits will be specified in the Cboe Titanium U.S. Equities Binary Order Entry Specification rather than the Fee Schedule. The Exchange says the same caps in the spec will apply to all participants (one cap for Members and another for Sponsoring Access firms) and that it will monitor capacity and adjust allotments based on demand and data center availability.
Fees for Dedicated Cores Remain Unchanged
The Exchange stated it does not propose to change the fee charged for Dedicated Cores that market participants may voluntarily purchase. Market participants who buy Dedicated Cores will continue to pay the same fees as specified in the Fee Schedule.
