[Release No. 34-102789; File No. SR-MEMX-2025-09]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; MEMX LLC; Notice of Filing and 
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the 
Exchange's Equities Fee Schedule Concerning Additive Rebates

April 8, 2025.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\

[[Page 15601]]

notice is hereby given that on April 4, 2025, MEMX LLC (``MEMX'' or the 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, 
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The 
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the 
proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposed rule change 
to amend the Exchange's fee schedule applicable to Members \3\ (the 
``Fee Schedule'') pursuant to Exchange Rules 15.1(a) and (c). As is 
further described below, the Exchange proposes to adopt a new Tape C 
Quoting Tier that provides an additive rebate for executions of orders 
in Tape C securities priced at or above $1.00 per share that add 
displayed liquidity to the Exchange, and reorganize the Fee Schedule to 
present each additive rebate into a single pricing table. The Exchange 
proposes to implement the changes to the Fee Schedule pursuant to this 
proposal immediately. The text of the proposed rule change is provided 
in Exhibit 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(p).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in 
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Fee 
Schedule to: (1) adopt a new Tape C Quoting Tier that provides an 
additive rebate for executions of orders in Tape C securities \4\ 
priced at or above $1.00 per share that add displayed liquidity to the 
Exchange (such orders, ``Added Displayed Volume''), and (2) re-organize 
the Fee Schedule to include all of the Exchange's additive rebates into 
a single table and make relevant corresponding updates to the ``Notes'' 
sections of the Fee Schedule; as further described below.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Tape C securities are those that are listed on Nasdaq.
    \5\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed Fee Schedule 
changes on March 31, 2025 (SR-MEMX-2025-08). On April 4, 2025, the 
Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive 
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to 
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be 
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the 
Exchange is only one of 18 registered equities exchanges, as well as a 
number of alternative trading systems and other off-exchange venues, to 
which market participants may direct their order flow. Based on 
publicly available information, no single registered equities exchange 
currently has more than approximately 15.1% of the total market share 
of executed volume of equities trading.\6\ Thus, in such a low-
concentrated and highly competitive market, no single equities exchange 
possesses significant pricing power in the execution of order flow, and 
the Exchange currently represents approximately 1.9% of the overall 
market share.\7\ The Exchange in particular operates a ``Maker-Taker'' 
model whereby it provides rebates to Members that add liquidity to the 
Exchange and charges fees to Members that remove liquidity from the 
Exchange. The Fee Schedule sets forth the standard rebates and fees 
applied per share for orders that add and remove liquidity, 
respectively. Additionally, in response to the competitive environment, 
the Exchange also offers tiered pricing, which provides Members with 
opportunities to qualify for higher rebates or lower fees where certain 
volume criteria and thresholds are met. Tiered pricing provides an 
incremental incentive for Members to strive for higher tier levels, 
which provides increasingly higher benefits or discounts for satisfying 
increasingly more stringent criteria.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Market share percentage calculated as of March 26, 2025. The 
Exchange receives and processes data made available through 
consolidated data feeds (i.e., CTS and UTDF).
    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adoption of Tape C Quoting Tier
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a new tier applicable to Member 
participation in Tape C securities, referred to by the Exchange as the 
Tape C Quoting Tier, in which the Exchange will provide an additive 
rebate for executions of Added Displayed Volume (excluding Retail 
Orders) in Tape C securities (such orders, ``Tape C Volume'') for 
Members that qualify for the Tier by meeting certain quoting 
requirements in Tape C securities. Under the proposed Tape C Quoting 
Tier, the Exchange will provide an additive rebate of $0.0002 per share 
for executions of Tape C Volume for a Member that qualifies for the 
Tape C Quoting Tier by achieving an NBBO Time \8\ of at least 50% in an 
average of at least 500 Tape C securities per trading day during the 
month. The $0.0002 per share additive rebate will be provided in 
addition to the rebate that is otherwise applicable to each of a 
qualifying Members' orders that constitutes Tape C Volume (including a 
rebate provided under another pricing tier/incentive).\9\ The Exchange 
notes that the additive rebate will not apply to executions of orders 
in Tape C securities priced below $1.00 per share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The term ``NBBO Time'' is currently defined on the Fee 
Schedule as the aggregate of the percentage of time during regular 
trading hours during which one of a Members' market participant 
identifier (``MPIDs'') has a displayed order of at least one round 
lot at the national best bid or the national best offer.
    \9\ The proposed pricing for the Tape C Quoting Tier is referred 
to by the Exchange on the Fee Schedule under the new description 
``Tape C Quoting Tier'' with a Fee Code of ``c'' to be appended to 
the otherwise applicable Fee Code assigned by the Exchange on the 
monthly invoices for qualifying executions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to exclude Tape C securities that have a 
closing price less than $1.00 per share from its calculation of a 
Member's NBBO Time in said security on that trading day, and it will 
include this in a note under the Additive Rebates pricing table on the 
Fee Schedule.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange emphasizes that apart from this exclusion that 
is applicable only to the Tape C Quoting Tier, the otherwise 
existing definitions related to calculating the quoting requirement 
shall continue to apply. Specifically, as noted in the Definitions 
section under the Transaction Fees Pricing Table: On a daily basis, 
MEMX will determine the number of securities in which each of a 
Member's MPIDs meets the quoting requirement for that day. MEMX will 
aggregate the number of securities in which each of a Member's MPIDs 
meets the quoting requirement to determine the number of securities 
in which such Member meets the quoting requirement for that day, 
provided that a single security in which more than one of such 
Member's MPIDs meets the quoting requirement for that day will only 
be counted once for this purpose. The quoting requirement with 
respect to a security must be met by a single MPID and MEMX will not 
aggregate the NBBO Time across all of a Member's MPIDs to determine 
if the quoting requirement has been met.
    In order to determine whether a Member meets the applicable 
securities requirements during a month, the average number of 
securities in which such Member meets the quoting requirement per 
trading day during the month will be calculated by summing the 
number of securities in which each of such Member's MPIDs met the 
quoting requirement for each trading day during the month then 
dividing the resulting sum by the total number of trading days in 
the month.
    With prior notice to the Exchange, a Member may aggregate the 
quoting activity (but not the NBBO Time) of its MPIDs, consistent 
with the above, with that of the MPIDs of other Members that 
control, are controlled by, or are under common control with such 
Member (as evidenced on such Member's Form BD).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 15602]]

    The proposed Tape C Quoting Tier is designed to encourage Members, 
through the provision of an additive rebate for executions of Tape C 
Volume, to promote price discovery and market quality by quoting at the 
NBBO for a significant portion of each day in Tape C securities, 
thereby benefitting the Exchange and investors by providing improved 
trading conditions for all market participants through narrower bid-ask 
spreads and increased depth of liquidity available at the NBBO in these 
securities. The Exchange notes that the proposed Tape C Quoting Tier is 
comparable to other quoting-based incentives and discounts, which have 
been widely adopted by exchanges (including the Exchange), including 
similar pricing incentives applicable to a specific set of 
securities.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77846 (May 
17, 2016) 81 FR 32356 (May 23, 2016) (SR-BatsBZX-2016-18) (Notice of 
filing and immediate effectiveness of a proposed rule change to 
Rules 15.1(a) and (c) in order to implement a Tape B Quoting Tier).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Additive Rebates Table
    The proposed Tape C Quoting Tier will become the fourth additive 
rebate currently offered to Members on the Exchange. The current 
additive rebates include an NBBO Setter Tier, a Tape A Quoting Tier, 
and a Tape B Volume Tier. Given the similarities between these Tiers, 
the Exchange believes the presentation of these additive rebates in a 
single table would be more efficient and easier for Members to read. As 
such, the Exchange is proposing to re-organize the placement of these 
existing Tiers within the Fee Schedule by deleting them from their 
current locations and placing them in a table under the heading 
``Additive Rebates'' along with the newly proposed Tape C Quoting Tier. 
In making this non-substantive change, the Exchange will consolidate 
and/or re-state the footnotes which previously followed each of the 
NBBO Setter Tier, Tape A Quoting Tier, and Tape B Volume Tier pricing 
tables as new footnotes under the Additive Rebates table. Specifically, 
the Exchange proposes to delete the ``NBBO Setter Tier'' table, the 
``Tape A Quoting Tier'' table, and the ``Tape B Volume Tier'' table 
along with the accompanying footnote beneath each such table. The 
Exchange proposes to create the ``Additive Rebates'' table with rows 
corresponding to each of the NBBO Setter Tier, the Tape A Quoting Tier, 
the Tape B Volume Tier, and the new Tape C Quoting Tier. The Exchange 
does not propose any changes to the additive rebate amount or required 
criteria for the previously existing NBBO Setter Tier, the Tape A 
Quoting Tier, nor the Tape B Volume Tier. Further, the Exchange 
proposes new footnotes to the ``Additive Rebates'' table which 
consolidate or re-state the footnotes previously listed under the 
former ``NBBO Setter Tier'' table, the ``Tape A Quoting Tier'' table, 
and the ``Tape B Volume Tier'' table and which provide information 
regarding the new Tape C Quoting Tier.
    Lastly, the Exchange is proposing to delete ``Tape A Quoting Tier'' 
from the second Note under the Transaction Fees pricing table and 
replace it with ``Additive Rebates'' to cover all current and future 
Additive Rebates to which that note applies.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Specifically, this note indicates that the Exchange 
excludes (1) any trading day that the Exchange's system experiences 
a disruption that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular 
trading hours; (2) the day that Russell Investments reconstitutes 
its family of indexes (i.e., the last Friday in June); (3) any day 
that the MSCI Equities Indexes are rebalanced (i.e., on a quarterly 
basis); (4) any day that the S&P 400, S&P 500, and S&P 600 Indexes 
are rebalanced (i.e., on a quarterly basis); and (5) any day with a 
scheduled early market close from its calculation of ADAV, ADV, TCV, 
and for purposes of determining qualification of the Displayed 
Liquidity Incentive and, as proposed, the Additive Rebates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\13\ in general, and with 
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\14\ in particular, in that it 
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 
other charges among its Members and other persons using its facilities 
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, 
issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed above, the Exchange operates in a highly fragmented 
and competitive market in which market participants can readily direct 
order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular 
venue to be excessive or incentives to be insufficient, and the 
Exchange represents only a small percentage of the overall market. The 
Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their preference 
for competition over regulatory intervention in determining prices, 
products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation NMS, 
the Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in 
determining prices and SRO revenues and also recognized that current 
regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in 
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most 
important to investors and listed companies.'' \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005), 
70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the ever-shifting market share among the 
exchanges from month to month demonstrates that market participants can 
shift order flow or discontinue use of certain categories of products, 
in response to new or different pricing structures being introduced 
into the market. Accordingly, competitive forces constrain the 
Exchange's transaction fees and rebates, and market participants can 
readily trade on competing venues if they deem pricing levels at those 
other venues to be more favorable. The Exchange believes the proposal 
reflects a reasonable and competitive pricing structure designed to 
incentivize market participants to direct their order flow to the 
Exchange, to enhance market quality in both a broad manner and in a 
targeted manner with respect to Tape C securities, which the Exchange 
believes would promote price discovery and enhance liquidity and market 
quality on the Exchange to the benefit of all Members and market 
participants.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed change to adopt the Tape C 
Quoting Tier that would provide an additive rebate for executions Tape 
C Volume is reasonable because, as described above, such change is 
designed to encourage Members to increase their order flow, including 
in the form of displayed, NBBO-setting orders under the required 
criteria, as applicable, to the Exchange, which the Exchange believes 
would promote price discovery, enhance liquidity and market quality, 
and contribute to a more robust and well balanced market ecosystem on 
the Exchange to the benefit of all Members and market participants. In 
addition, the Exchange believes that it is reasonable and consistent 
with an equitable allocation of fees to pay a higher rebate for 
executions of Tape C Volume to Members that qualify for the Tape C 
Quoting Tier because of the additional commitment to market

[[Page 15603]]

quality reflected in the associated quoting requirements.
    The Exchange notes that volume and quoting-based incentives (such 
as tiers) have been widely adopted by exchanges, including the 
Exchange, and are reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory 
because they are open to all members on an equal basis and provide 
additional benefits that are reasonably related to the value to an 
exchange's market quality associated with higher levels of market 
activity, such as higher levels of liquidity provision and/or growth 
patterns, and the introduction of higher volumes of orders into the 
price and volume discovery process. Furthermore, as noted above, the 
proposed Tape C Quoting Tier is similar in structure and purpose to 
pricing programs in place at other exchanges that are designed to 
enhance market quality.\16\ Specifically, these programs provide a 
higher and/or additive rebate for executions of a certain subset of 
securities (i.e., Tape A, B, or C) that achieve minimum quoting 
standards, including minimum quoting at the NBBO in a large number of 
securities, generally, or certain designated securities, in particular.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See supra note 11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that its reorganization of the Fee 
Schedule to include the NBBO Setter Tier, Tape A Quoting Tier, and Tape 
B Volume Tier in a single ``Additive Rebates'' table along with the 
newly proposed Tape C Quoting Tier is reasonable, equitable and non-
discriminatory because combining these tiers into a single location 
provides a more concise presentation of the information therein and 
serves to make the Fee Schedule as clear and as easily understandable 
as possible with respect to the requirements of the each of these 
Additive Rebates.
    For the reasons discussed above, the Exchange submits that the 
proposal satisfies the requirements of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of 
the Act \17\ in that it provides for the equitable allocation of 
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Members and other 
persons using its facilities and is not designed to unfairly 
discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. As 
described more fully below in the Exchange's statement regarding the 
burden on competition, the Exchange believes that its transaction 
pricing is subject to significant competitive forces, and that the 
proposed additive rebate described herein is appropriate to address 
such forces.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposal will result in any 
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Instead, as discussed above, 
the proposal is intended to enhance market quality on the Exchange in a 
large number of securities, generally, and in Tape C securities in 
particular, and to incentivize market participants to direct additional 
order flow to the Exchange, thereby enhancing liquidity and market 
quality on the Exchange to the benefit of all Members and market 
participants. As a result, the Exchange believes the proposal would 
enhance its competitiveness as a market that attracts actionable 
orders, thereby making it a more desirable destination venue for its 
customers. For these reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal 
furthers the Commission's goal in adopting Regulation NMS of fostering 
competition among orders, which promotes ``more efficient pricing of 
individual stocks for all types of orders, large and small.'' \18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See supra note 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intramarket Competition
    As discussed above, the Exchange believes that the proposal would 
incentivize Members to promote price discovery and market quality by 
quoting at the NBBO for a significant portion of each day in Tape C 
securities, thereby contributing to a deeper and more liquid market to 
the benefit of all market participants and enhancing the attractiveness 
of the Exchange as a trading venue, which the Exchange believes, in 
turn, would continue to encourage market participants to direct 
additional order flow to the Exchange. The opportunity to qualify for 
the Tape C Quoting Tier and thus receive the corresponding additive 
rebate for executions of Tape C Volume would be available to all 
Members that meet the associated criteria for the Tape C Quoting Tier 
in any month. The Exchange believes that the proposed criteria for the 
Tape C Quoting Tier is attainable for several Members that actively 
quote on exchanges. As such, the Exchange believes the proposed changes 
would not impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not 
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Intermarket Competition
    As noted above, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive 
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to 
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be 
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. Members have numerous 
alternative venues that they may participate on and direct their order 
flow to, including 17 other equities exchanges and numerous alternative 
trading systems and other off-exchange venues. As noted above, no 
single registered equities exchange currently has more than 
approximately 15.1% of the total market share of executed volume of 
equities trading. Thus, in such a low-concentrated and highly 
competitive market, no single equities exchange possesses significant 
pricing power in the execution of order flow. Moreover, the Exchange 
believes that the ever-shifting market share among the exchanges from 
month to month demonstrates that market participants can shift order 
flow or discontinue to reduce use of certain categories of products, in 
response to new or different pricing structures being introduced into 
the market. Accordingly, competitive forces constrain the Exchange's 
transaction fees and rebates, including with respect to executions of 
Added Displayed Volume, and market participants can readily choose to 
send their orders to other exchange and off-exchange venues if they 
deem fee levels at those other venues to be more favorable. As 
described above, the proposed change is a competitive proposal through 
which the Exchange is seeking to encourage additional order flow and 
quoting activity on the Exchange and to promote market quality through 
pricing incentives that are comparable to incentives in place at other 
exchanges.\19\ Accordingly, the Exchange believes the proposal would 
not burden, but rather promote, intermarket competition by enabling it 
to better compete with other exchanges that offer similar incentives to 
market participants that enhance market quality and/or achieve certain 
quoting requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See supra note 11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the Commission has repeatedly expressed its 
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining 
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. Specifically, 
in Regulation NMS, the Commission highlighted the importance of market 
forces in determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized 
that current

[[Page 15604]]

regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in 
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most 
important to investors and listed companies.'' \20\ The fact that this 
market is competitive has also long been recognized by the courts. In 
NetCoalition v. SEC, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows: ``[n]o one 
disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC 
explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and sellers of 
securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-routing 
agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders for 
execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share 
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly, 
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker 
dealers' . . . .''.\21\ Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its 
proposed pricing changes impose any burden on competition that is not 
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
