IEX Options Feed Added ($1,300/month)
The Exchange will add a new Investors Exchange (IEX) Options data feed at the Mahwah, New Jersey data center. The Exchange lists a monthly recurring connectivity fee of $1,300 for IEX Options and will not charge for the connection until the IEX Options feed is available; IEX intends to launch IEX Options on October 2, 2026. The Exchange filed the change on June 18, 2026 and expects the rule to be operative by August 31, 2026.

Cboe Feeds Broken Out by Asset Class
The Exchange will re-list certain Cboe third-party data feeds by asset class (for example, 'Cboe U.S. Equities' and 'Cboe Options') so a User can subscribe to all Cboe equities data or all Cboe options data without signing up for multiple third-party feeds. The Exchange states the monthly connectivity fees for each Cboe data feed would remain the same after the change.
