Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
New Origin Multiplier for Market Makers
Market Makers on MIAX can set an Origin Multiplier (min 0, max 10, adjustable in 0.1 increments; default = 1) that is applied when calculating an option execution's percentage for the Aggregate Risk Manager (ARM). Multipliers may be set by MPID for all classes or by MPID+class, and are applied by contra-party origin type (Priority Customer; Firm; Broker-Dealer; Market Maker; Non-Member Market Maker; Non-Priority Customer). ARM triggers when the combined class percentage equals or exceeds the Market Maker's Allowable Engagement Percentage; the specified time period used for counts cannot exceed 15 seconds and default Allowable Engagement Percentage will be at least 100%.
Potential for Improved Market Liquidity
The Exchange states the Origin Multiplier enhancement is intended to help Market Makers better manage risk and may encourage them to provide greater depth and tighter spreads on the MIAX market. That could improve liquidity and market quality for investors and customers trading on MIAX.

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."
