SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-102238; File No. SR-C2-2025-001]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt
Cboe Timestamping Service Which Is a Market Data Service Comprised of
Two Distinct Market Data Reports
January 17, 2025.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 10, 2025, Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Item I below, which Item has been
substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to adopt the Cboe Timestamping Service, which
is a market data service comprised of two distinct market data
reports.\3\ The Cboe Timestamping Service will provide timestamp
information for orders,\4\ quotes and cancels for market participants.
More specifically, the Cboe Timestamping Service reports will provide
various timestamps relating to the message lifecycle throughout the
exchange system. The first report--the Missed Liquidity Report--will
cover order and quote messages and the second report--Cancels Report--
will cover cancel messages. The proposed reports are optional products
that will be available to all Members and Members may opt to choose
both reports, one report, or neither report. Corresponding fees will be
assessed based on the number of reports selected.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Exchange previously submitted the proposed rule change
on December 13, 2024 (SR-C2-2024-022). See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 102046 (December 27, 2024), 90 FR 346, (January 3, 2025)
(SR-C2-2024-022). The Exchange is withdrawing SR-C2-2024-022 and
submitting this filing to make clarifying, non-substantive changes
to more clearly reflect the excluded trades in the Missed Liquidity
Report, which the Exchange believes will avoid potential confusion.
\4\ Orders shall include both complex and simple orders.
\5\ The Exchange plans to submit a separate filing with the
Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) to propose fees for the
Missed Liquidity Report and Cancels Report.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed rule change, including the Exchange's statement of the
purpose of, and statutory basis for, the proposed rule change, is
available on the Exchange's website (<a href="http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/ctwo/">http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/ctwo/</a>), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and on the Commission's website at <a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/self-regulatory-organization-rulemaking/national-securities-exchanges?file_number=SR-C2-2025-001">https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/self-regulatory-organization-rulemaking/national-securities-exchanges?file_number=SR-C2-2025-001</a>.
II. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \7\ thereunder. Because
the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; or (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78(b)(3)(A).
\7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five
business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ normally
does not
[[Page 8071]]
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\11\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with protection
of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission believes that waving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow the Exchange to launch the proposed Missed
Liquidity Report and Cancels Report on January 27, 2025. The Commission
recognizes that the Exchange previously submitted the proposed rule
change on December 13, 2024 (SR-C2-2024-022), which would have resulted
in an operative date of January 13, 2025. The Exchange withdrew filing
SR-C2-2024-022 on January 10, 2025, and the Commission did not receive
any comments related to that filing. The Exchange submitted this filing
to make a clarifying, non-substantive change to more clearly reflect
the excluded trades under the Missed Liquidity Report, which the
Exchange believes will avoid potential confusion. Further, this filing
does not introduce any novel regulatory issues. Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon
filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
III. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.\13\ Comments may be submitted
