Options Allowed on Rule 6c-11 ETFs
MIAX PEARL amended Exchange Rule 402 to allow the listing and trading of options on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that qualify as “ETF Shares” under SEC Rule 6c-11. The change was filed on September 9, 2025 and applies to ETFs listed pursuant to the generic listing standards described in Rule 19b-4(e).
Faster Time-to-Market for ETF Options
Under the amended rule, options on qualifying Rule 6c-11 ETF Shares can be listed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) without a separate SEC approval, which can reduce the time needed to bring those options to market. The Commission waived the usual 30-day operative delay and made the filing operative upon filing (filed September 9, 2025).
Existing Surveillance and Limits Still Apply
Options on ETF Shares listed under the amended standard will be traded under MIAX PEARL's existing options trading rules and surveillance programs, including position limits such as those in MIAX Rule 307. The listing change does not remove current surveillance or position limit protections.
