Summary

Nasdaq Texas is rolling out new fees starting April 1, 2026, for its expanded co-location services—where traders can place their computers super close to the exchange’s servers for faster trading. This change affects traders and firms using these data centers in New Jersey, who’ll now pay set prices for the extra space and services. It’s all about boosting speed and options, with clear costs to match the upgrade.
