Notice
Summary
MX2 LLC is making it easier for new members to join by opening up their special 'waive-in' application process all the time, instead of just for a short period. This change helps eligible applicants jump in faster without waiting for a limited window. It’s effective immediately, so anyone interested can apply right away with no extra fees or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Ongoing Waive-In for Exchange Membership

The change applies to applicants that are (i) current members of MEMX LLC and (ii) active members of FINRA or a registered national securities exchange other than MEMX, and MX2 will continue to review each applicant under Rule 2.5. MX2 has not yet launched operations and is scheduled to open its first trading facility, MX2 Options, on September 14, 2026; the Commission approved MX2 on March 13, 2025.
