SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-103593; File No. SR-Phlx-2025-32]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Options 7, 
Section 9, B, Port Fees

July 30, 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 July 23, 2025, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 amend Phlx's Pricing Schedule at Options 
7, Section 9, B, Port Fees, in connection with a technology 
migration.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange filed SR-Phlx-2025-29 on July 15, 2025. On July 
23, 2025 the Exchange withdrew SR-Phlx-2025-29 and replaced it with 
this rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rulefilings">https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rulefilings</a> 
and at the principal office of the Exchange.

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
    Phlx is planning a technology migration commencing in November 
2025.\4\ As part of this technology migration, Phlx members and member 
organizations will need to acquire new ports to connect to the new 
technology platform to accommodate the symbol migration plan.\5\ 
Specifically, members and member organizations will need to utilize 
both existing or ``legacy'' \6\ ports and ``new'' \7\ ports during the 
technology migration rollout which will occur over a 5 week period on a 
symbol-by-symbol basis.\8\ Phlx currently assesses no fees for any pre-
production \9\ ports acquired in anticipation of a technology migration 
to enhance participation in testing. However, pre-production ports will 
become production ports \10\ once Phlx begins the technology migration 
in November 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Seehttps://<a href="http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/MicroNews.aspx?id=OTU2025-6">www.nasdaqtrader.com/MicroNews.aspx?id=OTU2025-6</a>.
    \5\ Phlx plans to migrate to the new platform on a symbol-by-
symbol basis over multiple weeks. See id.
    \6\ A ``legacy'' port refers to a port that was subscribed to by 
a Phlx member or member organization prior to the technology 
migration and connects to the existing technology platform.
    \7\ A ``new'' port refers to a port acquired for the Phlx 
technology migration and would connect to the new technology 
migration.
    \8\ For example, once the technology migration commences in 
November 2025, new ports will be utilized to enter order and quote 
for symbols that have migrated to the new platform and existing 
ports will be utilized to enter orders and quotes that have not yet 
migrated to the new platform. Once the 5 week rollout is complete, 
or a longer period as the Exchange may designate for the rollout, 
the Exchange would sunset the ports, on a defined date, that are 
connected to the current environment.
    \9\ A pre-production port may be used for port connectivity 
testing purposes only and is not connected to the Exchange's match 
engine that is currently in production for the execution of 
interest. A pre-production may not be used to enter an order or 
quote for execution or otherwise send a message through a pre-
production port that would be acted upon by the Exchange. Testing 
means the dates designated by the Exchange for user acceptance 
testing and final confidence tests.
    \10\ Production ports are used to submit quotes and orders for 
execution in the Exchange's match engine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At this time, Phlx proposes certain pricing for ``duplicate'' \11\ 
ports during the technology migration. Phlx will not assess the SQF 
Port,\12\ SQF Purge Port,\13\ and CTI Port \14\ fees in Options 7,

[[Page 36480]]

Section 9, B for any new SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports, 
which are duplicative of legacy SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI 
Ports, acquired as part of the migration from November 1, 2025 through 
December 31, 2025 (``Transition Period''). Phlx will continue to assess 
the SQF Port, SQF Purge Port, and CTI Port fees in Options 7, Section 
9, B for legacy SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports during the 
Transition Period including new SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI 
Ports. As of January 1, 2026, Phlx will assess the SQF Port, SQF Purge 
Port, and CTI Port fees in Options 7, Section 9, B for all new and 
legacy SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports to which they 
subscribe. Phlx members and member organizations may return legacy SQF 
Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports in December 2025 to avoid any 
fees. The legacy SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports would no 
longer be necessary after the Transition Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term duplicate means the type and quantity of their 
legacy ports. For example, a Phlx member organization with 3 legacy 
SQF Ports, 1 legacy SQF Purge Port, 1 legacy FIX Port, and 1 legacy 
CTI Port on October 1, 2025 could request the equivalent quantity 
and type of new ports (3 SQF Ports, 1 SQF Purge Port, 1 FIX Port, 
and 1 CTI Port) for the new environment at no additional cost.
    \12\ ``Specialized Quote Feed'' or ``SQF'' is an interface that 
allows Lead Market Makers, Streaming Quote Traders (``SQTs'') and 
Remote Streaming Quote Traders (``RSQTs'') to connect, send, and 
receive messages related to quotes, Immediate-or-Cancel Orders, and 
auction responses into and from the Exchange. Features include the 
following: (1) options symbol directory messages (e.g., underlying 
and complex instruments); (2) system event messages (e.g., start of 
trading hours messages and start of opening); (3) trading action 
messages (e.g., halts and resumes); (4) execution messages; (5) 
quote messages; (6) Immediate-or-Cancel Order messages; (7) risk 
protection triggers and purge notifications; (8) opening imbalance 
messages; (9) auction notifications; and (10) auction responses. The 
SQF Purge Interface only receives and notifies of purge requests 
from the Lead Market Maker, SQT or RSQT. Lead Market Makers, SQTs 
and RSQTs may only enter interest into SQF in their assigned options 
series. Immediate-or-Cancel Orders entered into SQF are not subject 
to the Order Price Protection, the Market Order Spread Protection, 
or Size Limitation in Options 3, Section 15(a)(1), (a)(2) and 
(b)(2), respectively. See Options 3, Section 7(a)(i)(B).
    \13\ An SQF Purge Interface only receives and notifies of purge 
request from the Market Maker.
    \14\ Clearing Trade Interface (``CTI'') is a real-time clearing 
trade update message that is sent to a member after an execution has 
occurred and contains trade details specific to that member. The 
information includes, among other things, the following: (i) The 
Clearing Member Trade Agreement or ``CMTA'' or ``OCC'' number; (ii) 
Exchange badge or house number; (iii) the Exchange internal firm 
identifier; (iv) an indicator which will distinguish electronic and 
non-electronically delivered orders; (v) liquidity indicators and 
transaction type for billing purposes; and (vi) capacity. See 
Options 3, Section 23(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, Phlx assesses a FIX Port Fee of $650 per month per mnemonic 
\15\ Today, Phlx does not assess fees for FIX Ports if there is not a 
mnemonic associated with the FIX Port. During the Transition Period, 
Phlx will not assess FIX Port fees to members and member organizations 
for mnemonics on new FIX Ports if the mnemonics existed on legacy FIX 
Ports on October 1, 2025.\16\ Once the Transition Period has ended, the 
Exchange would assess a FIX Port Fee based on each mnemonic associated 
with new and legacy FIX Ports. Phlx members and member organizations 
may return legacy FIX Ports in December 2025 to avoid any fees. The 
legacy FIX Ports would no longer be necessary after the Transition 
Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ A ``mnemonic'' means an acronym comprised of letters and/or 
numbers assigned to member organizations. A member organization 
account may be associated with multiple mnemonics. See Options 1, 
Section 1(b)(29). A mnemonic is necessary to utilize a FIX Port.
    \16\ If a member had 6 mnemonics associated with a legacy FIX 
Port and obtained a new FIEX Port and associated 8 mnemonics with 
the new FIX Port, the member would be assessed 2 FIX Ports Fees for 
the for the new ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx will assess the port fees for new OTTO \17\ Ports and new FIX 
Drop \18\ Ports commencing on November 1, 2025. Phlx adopted new OTTO 
Ports and OTTO Port Fees and FIX Drop Ports and FIX DROP Port Fees as 
part of the Exchange's technology migration.\19\ There are no existing 
legacy versions of these ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ As proposed, ``Ouch to Trade Options'' or ``OTTO'' is an 
interface that allows member organizations and their Sponsored 
Customers to connect, send, and receive messages related to orders, 
auction orders, and auction responses to the Exchange. Features 
include the following: (1) options symbol directory messages (e.g., 
underlying and complex instruments); (2) system event messages 
(e.g., start of trading hours messages and start of opening); (3) 
trading action messages (e.g., halts and resumes); (4) execution 
messages; (5) order messages; (6) risk protection triggers and 
cancel notifications; (7) auction notifications; (8) auction 
responses; and (9) post trade allocation messages. OTTO will be 
located in the Exchange's revised rules at Supplementary Material 
.03 of Options 3, Section 7. The Exchange will assess an OTTO Port 
fee of $400 per port, per month, per mnemonic, subject to a monthly 
cap of $4,000. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102337 
(February 4, 2025), 90 FR 9267 (February 10, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-05) 
(Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule 
Change To Adopt a New OTTO Protocol),
    \18\ FIX DROP is a real-time order and execution update message 
that is sent to a member after an order has been received/modified 
or an execution has occurred and contains trade details specific to 
that member. The information includes, among other things, the 
following: (i) executions; (ii) cancellations; (iii) modifications 
to an existing order; and (iv) busts or post-trade corrections. FIX 
Drop will be located in the Exchange's rules at Options 3, Section 
23(b)(3). The Exchange will assess a FIX Drop Fee of $500 per port, 
per month, per account number. See Securities Exchange Act Release 
No. 90 FR 8818 (February 3, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-04) (Notice of 
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt a FIX Drop Port and Related Fees).
    \19\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 102337 (February 
4, 2025), 90 FR 9267 (February 10, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-05) (Notice 
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt a New OTTO Protocol); and 102296 (January 28, 2025), 90 FR 
8818 (February 3, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-04) (Notice of Filing and 
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a FIX 
Drop Port and Related Fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, Phlx proposes to sunset legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF 
Purge Ports, and CTI Ports on February 27, 2026, after which time these 
ports will no longer be available.
    The duplicate new SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports and 
duplicate mnemonics that are being offered at no cost will allow 
members and member organizations time to test ports to the new 
environment as well as provide continuous connection to the Exchange's 
match engine during the migration.\20\ During the Transition Period, 
members and member organizations will be required to utilize their new 
ports on the new platform for symbols that have migrated to the new 
platform, while continuing to leverage legacy ports for symbols that 
have not yet migrated to the new platform.\21\ During the Transition 
Period, Phlx members and member organizations would be assessed only 
for legacy ports and mnemonics on legacy FIX Ports and would not be 
assessed for the new ports which are duplicative of the legacy ports or 
the duplicate mnemonics. Phlx members and member organizations may 
acquire additional legacy ports during the Transition Period or 
additional mnemonics that are not utilized on legacy FIX Ports and 
would be assessed the charges for those additional ports and mnemonics. 
Phlx members and member organizations will be assessed fees for new 
OTTO ports and new CTI Ports as they are not offered today and are 
optional.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Members would contact Market Operations to acquire ports 
for the technology migration.
    \21\ See supra notes 3 and 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The technology migration does not require Phlx members and member 
organizations to acquire additional ports or any new ports that are 
being offered, rather the technology migration requires a new port to 
connect to the new environment. Phlx members and member organizations 
may also elect to obtain fewer ports as only one order entry port is 
required to submit orders and only one quoting port is required to 
submit quotes.\22\ The technology migration is 1:1 and therefore would 
not require a member or member organization to acquire an additional 
quantity of new ports, nor would it reduce the total number of ports 
needed to connect to the match engine. This proposal is not intended to 
impose any additional fees on any Phlx member or member organization. 
Rather, this proposal is intended to permit a Phlx member or member 
organization to utilize the new environment with the same type and 
quantity of legacy ports, at no additional cost, during the Transition 
Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Phlx does not assess fees for the market data ports. See 
Options 7, Section 9, B(iii). Phlx members and member organizations 
may acquire any number of market data ports at no cost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx will sunset legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and 
CTI Ports on February 27, 2026.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\23\ in general, and furthers the objectives of 
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\24\ in particular, in that it 
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 
other charges among members and issuers and other

[[Page 36481]]

persons using any facility, and is not designed to permit unfair 
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \24\ See 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed amendments to Options 7, Section 9, B to permit Phlx 
members and member organizations to acquire a second set of SQF Ports, 
SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports and duplicate mnemonics for new FIX 
Ports, at no cost, as part of the technology migration are reasonable 
because they will permit Phlx members and member organizations to 
migrate to the new platform without a pricing impact. Specifically, the 
proposal is intended to permit Phlx members and member organizations to 
migrate their legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI 
Ports to new ports at no additional cost during the Transition Period. 
This proposal will allow Phlx members and member organizations to test 
their ports and maintain continuous connection to the Exchange's match 
engine during the migration.
    The proposed amendments to Options 7, Section 9, B to permit Phlx 
members and member organizations to acquire a second set of SQF Ports, 
SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports and duplicate mnemonics for new FIX 
Ports, at no cost, as part of the technology migration are equitable 
and not unfairly discriminatory because no Phlx member or member 
organization would have a pricing impact as a result of this proposal 
provided the Phlx member or member organization did not obtain 
additional new ports beyond the number of duplicate legacy ports or 
additional legacy ports for SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports 
beyond the quantity and type the member or member organization had on 
October 1, 2025, additional mnemonics for the new FIX Ports beyond 
those that exist on legacy FIX Ports as of October 1, 2025, or new 
optional OTTO or CTI Ports. No Phlx member or member organization would 
be assessed a fee for the new second set of ports for SQF Ports, SQF 
Purge Ports, and CTI Ports provided they acquired a new second set of 
ports commiserate with the type and quantity of ports they subscribed 
to as of October 1, 2025. No Phlx member or member organization would 
be assessed a fee for the new FIX Ports provided they did not acquire 
mnemonics beyond those that exist on legacy FIX Ports. Any Phlx member 
or member organization obtaining additional legacy ports, beyond the 
current type and quantity of ports they have as of October 1, 2025, 
would be assessed the fees noted in Options 7, Section 9, B as 
applicable.
    Phlx will sunset legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and 
CTI Ports on February 27, 2025 for all members and member 
organizations. Starting January 1, 2026, the Exchange would assess the 
SQF Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees in Options 7, Section 9, B 
for all SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI Ports that all members and 
member organizations continue to subscribe to after the Transition 
Period. Starting January 1, 2026, the Exchange would assess a FIX Port 
Fee based on each mnemonic associated with new and legacy FIX Ports for 
all members and member organizations. The proposed amendments to 
Options 7, Section 9, B to assess a FIX Port Fee based on each mnemonic 
associated with new and legacy FIX Ports and to assess SQF Port, SQF 
Purge Port and CTI Port Fees once the Transition Period has ended is 
reasonable because legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI 
Ports would no longer be necessary after the Transition Period and Phlx 
members and member organizations may return legacy FIX Ports, SQF 
Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI Ports in December 2025 to avoid any 
fees. The Exchange would need to reacquire all legacy FIX Ports, SQF 
Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI Ports from Phlx members and member 
organizations to sunset the legacy platform. Assessing fees will 
encourage Phlx members and member organizations to return their legacy 
FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI Ports to avoid a fee, 
thereby allowing Phlx to efficiently and timely sunset the legacy 
platform. Further, the Exchange's proposal to assess a FIX Port Fee 
based on each mnemonic associated with new and legacy FIX Ports and to 
assess SQF Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees once the Transition 
Period has ended is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory as all 
Phlx members and member organizations would be uniformly assessed FIX 
Port Fees based on each mnemonic associated with new and legacy FIX 
Ports as well as SQF Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees if they 
have not returned these ports in December 2025.
    The Exchange will assess the port fees for new OTTO Ports and new 
FIX Drop Ports commencing on November 1, 2025 uniformly to all members 
and member organizations as noted in the prior rule proposals.\25\ Phlx 
proposed to adopt a new OTTO port and FIX Drop as part of the 
Exchange's technology migration, therefore no member or member 
organization has existing legacy versions of these ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 102337 (February 
4, 2025), 90 FR 9267 (February 10, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-05) (Notice 
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt a New OTTO Protocol); and 102296 (January 28, 2025), 90 FR 
8818 (February 3, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-04) (Notice of Filing and 
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a FIX 
Drop Port and Related Fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Intermarket Competition
    The Exchange believes its proposal remains competitive with other 
options markets, and will offer market participants with another choice 
of venue to transact options. The Exchange notes that it operates in a 
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily 
favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to 
be excessive, or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be 
more favorable. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees 
in response, and because market participants may readily adjust their 
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which 
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is 
extremely limited.
Intramarket Competition
    The proposed amendments to Options 7, Section 9, B to permit Phlx 
members and member organizations to acquire a second set of SQF Ports, 
SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports and duplicate mnemonics for new FIX 
Ports, at no cost, as part of the technology migration do not impose an 
undue burden on competition because no Phlx member or member 
organization would have a pricing impact as a result of this proposal 
provided the Phlx member or member organization did not obtain 
additional new ports beyond the number of duplicate legacy ports or 
additional legacy ports for SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and CTI Ports 
beyond the quantity and type the member or member organization had on 
October 1, 2025, additional mnemonics for the new FIX Ports beyond 
those that exist on legacy FIX Ports as of October 1, 2025, or new 
optional OTTO or CTI Ports. No Phlx member or member organization would 
be assessed a fee for the new second set of ports for SQF Ports, SQF 
Purge Ports, and CTI Ports provided they acquired a new second set of 
ports commiserate with the type and quantity of ports they subscribed 
to as of October 1, 2025. No Phlx member or member organization would 
be assessed a fee for

[[Page 36482]]

the new FIX Ports provided they did not acquire mnemonics beyond those 
that exist on legacy FIX Ports. Any Phlx member or member organization 
obtaining additional legacy ports, beyond the current type and quantity 
of ports they have as of October 1, 2025, would be assessed the fees 
noted in Options 7, Section 9, B as applicable.
    Phlx will sunset legacy FIX Ports, SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports, and 
CTI Ports on February 27, 2025 for all members and member 
organizations. Starting January 1, 2026, the Exchange would assess the 
SQF Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees in Options 7, Section 9, B 
for all SQF Ports, SQF Purge Ports and CTI Ports that all members and 
member organizations continue to subscribe to after the Transition 
Period. The Exchange's proposal to assess a FIX Port Fee based on each 
mnemonic associated with new and legacy FIX Ports and to assess SQF 
Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees once the Transition Period has 
ended does not impose an undue burden on competition as all Phlx 
members and member organizations would be uniformly assessed FIX Port 
Fees based on each mnemonic associated with new and legacy FIX Ports as 
well as SQF Port, SQF Purge Port and CTI Port Fees if they have not 
returned these ports in December 2025.
    The Exchange will assess the port fees for new OTTO Ports and new 
FIX Drop Ports commencing on November 1, 2025 uniformly to all members 
and member organizations as noted in the prior rule proposals.\26\ Phlx 
proposed to adopt a new OTTO port and FIX Drop as part of the 
Exchange's technology migration, therefore no member or member 
organization has existing legacy versions of these ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 102337 (February 
4, 2025), 90 FR 9267 (February 10, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-05) (Notice 
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt a New OTTO Protocol); and 102296 (January 28, 2025), 90 FR

Drop Port and Related Fees).
