Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Routable Limit Orders Now Act Like Inside Limits
The Exchange amended Rule 7.31 so that routable Limit Orders will operate like Inside Limit Orders by default. This change was filed on June 16, 2026 and means routable Limit Orders will route only to the best displayed NBBO price and wait for NBBO updates before routing to additional price points.
Optional Multi-Price Routing Removed on Exchange
The Exchange will no longer offer the current optional behavior that simultaneously routes Limit Orders to multiple away-market price points as described in Rule 7.31(a)(2)(A). Market participants who want simultaneous routing to multiple protected away-market prices must seek that functionality on other trading venues.
Implementation Timing: Trader Update Expected
Although the rule change was filed on June 16, 2026, the Exchange will announce the implementation date by Trader Update and anticipates implementing the change before the end of the fourth quarter of 2026.
