    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given 
that, on August 27, 2025, 24X National Exchange LLC (``24X'' 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 self-regulatory 
organization. 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 proposes to adopt the initial fees and rebates 
applicable to Members \4\ of the Exchange pursuant to Exchange Rule 
15.1(a) and (c). The proposed rule change is available on the 
Exchange's website at <a href="https://equities.24exchange.com/regulation">https://equities.24exchange.com/regulation</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 self-regulatory organization 
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to implement a fee schedule (the ``Fee 
Schedule'') applicable to use of the Exchange. The Exchange will 
commence operations as a national securities exchange on September 29, 
2025, and will implement the Fee Schedule as of that date.
    The Exchange first notes that upon commencement of operations as a 
national securities exchange, it will operate 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 will be only one of several equities 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 13% of total market share.\5\ Thus, in such a 
diffuse and highly competitive market, no single equities exchange 
possesses significant pricing power in the execution of order flow, and 
as it commences operations the Exchange anticipates representing a 
small percentage of the overall market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Market share percentage calculated as of July 15, 2025; see 
Cboe Global Markets, U.S. Equities Market Volume Summary, available 
at: <a href="https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/market_share/">https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/market_share/</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction Fees
    Below is a description of the fees and rebates that the Exchange 
intends to impose under the initial proposed Fee Schedule, which will 
be applicable to transactions executed in all trading sessions. Under 
the proposed Fee Schedule, the Exchange will operate a ``Maker-Taker'' 
model whereby it provides rebates to Members that provide liquidity and 
charges fees to those that remove liquidity, as further described 
below. The Exchange does not initially propose to charge different fees 
or provide different rebates depending on the number of orders 
submitted to, or transactions executed on or through, the Exchange. 
Accordingly, all fees and rebates described below are applicable to all 
Members, regardless of the overall volume of a Member's trading 
activities on the Exchange.
(1) Standard Fee for Removed Volume
    The Exchange proposes to charge a standard fee of $0.00295 per 
share for executions of orders that remove

[[Page 43713]]

liquidity from the 24X Book \6\ (``Removed Volume'') in all securities 
traded on the Exchange priced at or above $1.00 per share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ``24X Book'' refers to the Exchange system's electronic file 
of orders. See Exchange Rule 1.5(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Standard Rebate for Added Displayed Volume
    The Exchange proposes to provide a standard rebate of $0.00295 per 
share in all securities traded on the Exchange priced at or above $1.00 
per share and 0.075% of total dollar value for all securities traded on 
the Exchange priced below $1.00 per share for executions of orders 
that: (i) are displayed on the 24X Book and (ii) add liquidity to the 
Exchange (``Added Displayed Volume'').\7\ The proposed standard rebate 
for Added Displayed Volume would apply to the Reserve Quantity \8\ of 
an order such that any replenishment amount of the Reserve Quantity of 
an order that is executed against would be treated as Added Displayed 
Volume even though such portion of the order was not displayed on the 
24X Book prior to the order being replenished in accordance with the 
Member's instructions and the Exchange's rules. The entire portion of 
the Reserve Quantity of an order would be eligible for this rebate, but 
a Member would only receive such rebate for any portions of the Reserve 
Quantity that are executed against.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Such executions will be indicated by a fee code of ``1'' in 
execution reports provided by the Exchange.
    \8\ ``Reserve Quantity'' refers to the portion of an order that 
includes a Non-Displayed instruction in which a portion of that 
order is also displayed on the 24X Book. See Exchange Rule 11.6(k).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) Standard Rebate for Added Non-Displayed Volume
    The Exchange proposes to provide a standard rebate of $0.0025 per 
share for executions of orders that: (i) are not displayed on the 24X 
Book and (ii) add liquidity to the Exchange (``Added Non-Displayed 
Volume''), in all securities traded on the Exchange priced at or above 
$1.00 per share that do not include a Midpoint Peg instruction.\9\ The 
proposed Fee Schedule will provide a standard rebate of $0.00295 per 
share for Added Non-Displayed Volume that includes a Midpoint Peg 
instruction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ This pricing is referred to on the proposed Fee Schedule as 
``Added non-displayed volume'' and indicated by fee code ``51'' in 
execution reports provided by the Exchange.
    \10\ This pricing is referred to on the proposed Fee Schedule as 
``Added Midpoint'' and indicated by fee code ``52'' in execution 
reports provided by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to provide a higher rebate for executions of 
Added Displayed Volume than for executions of Added Non-Displayed 
Volume to incentivize displayed liquidity over non-displayed liquidity 
on the Exchange, including orders with a displayed component and a non-
displayed component (i.e., orders with a Reserve Quantity), in order to 
encourage and facilitate price discovery and price formation, which the 
Exchange believes benefits all Members and investors. The Exchange 
additionally proposes to provide a higher rebate for executions of 
orders that include a Midpoint Peg instruction in order to encourage 
Members to submit liquidity-providing orders designed to execute at the 
midpoint to the Exchange, which the Exchange believes will deepen 
liquidity and increase execution opportunities at the midpoint on the 
Exchange, thereby improving the Exchange's market quality to the 
benefit of all Members and enhancing its attractiveness as a trading 
venue.
(4) Standard Fee for Routed Removed Volume
    The Exchange proposes to charge a standard fee of $0.0030 per share 
for all orders routed to another market that (i) are executed on an 
away market and (ii) remove liquidity from the market to which it was 
routed (``Routed Removed Volume''), in all securities traded on the 
Exchange priced at or above $1.00 per share.\11\ All charges by the 
Exchange for routing are applicable only in the event that an order is 
executed; there is no charge for orders that are routed away from the 
Exchange but are not filled. The Exchange notes that the fees for 
routing relate to orders routed through the Exchange's third-party 
broker-dealers. Routing services offered by the Exchange are completely 
optional and market participants can readily select between various 
providers of routing services, including other exchanges and broker-
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ This pricing is referred to on the proposed Fee Schedule as 
``Routed removed volume'' and indicated by fee code ``3'' in 
execution reports provided by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(5) Securities Priced Below $1.00 per Share
    The Exchange proposes to charge a standard fee of 0.28% of the 
total dollar value of any transaction in securities priced below $1.00 
per share (``Sub-Dollar Securities'') that removes liquidity from the 
Exchange (``Removed Sub-Dollar Volume''). The Exchange also proposes to 
provide a standard rebate of 0.075% of the total dollar value of any 
transaction (including a Retail Order) in Sub-Dollar Securities that 
adds displayed liquidity or non-displayed midpoint liquidity to the 
Exchange (``Added Sub-Dollar Volume''). The Exchange proposes to 
provide a standard rebate of 0.065% of the total dollar value of any 
transaction that adds non-displayed liquidity to the Exchange and does 
not include a Midpoint Peg instruction. The Exchange proposes to charge 
a standard fee of 0.30% of the total dollar value of any transaction in 
Sub-Dollar Securities that is routed to and executed at another market 
center.
    The proposed rebate for executions of Added Sub-Dollar Volume is 
intended to promote order flow in Sub-Dollar Securities to the Exchange 
by incentivizing Members to increase the liquidity-providing orders in 
Sub-Dollar Securities they submit to the Exchange, which would support 
price discovery on the Exchange and provide additional liquidity for 
incoming orders.
    The proposed rule change does not include different fees or rebates 
for transactions in Sub-Dollar Securities that depend on the number of 
orders submitted to, or transactions executed on or through, the 
Exchange. Accordingly, all fees and rebates described above are 
applicable to all Members, regardless of the overall volume of a 
Member's trading activities on the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the provisions of Section 6(b) \12\ of the Act in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \13\ of the Act, in 
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable 
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its 
Members and other persons using its facilities. Additionally, the 
Exchange believes that the proposed fees and rebates are consistent 
with the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \14\ of the Act in that they are 
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster 
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, 
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and 
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and 
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and national market 
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest, 
and, particularly, are not designed to permit unfair

[[Page 43714]]

discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

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

    Upon its commencement of operations as a national securities 
exchange, the Exchange will operate 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. The Exchange believes that the proposed 
Fee Schedule reflects a simple and competitive pricing structure 
designed to incentivize market participants to add aggressively priced 
displayed liquidity and direct their order flow to the Exchange, which 
the Exchange believes would promote price discovery and price formation 
and deepen liquidity that is subject to the Exchange's transparency, 
regulation, and oversight as an exchange, thereby enhancing market 
quality to the benefit of all Members and investors.
    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, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market 
model, 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\

70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting 
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is appropriate, reasonable, and 
consistent with the Act to charge a standard fee of $0.00295 per share 
for Removed Volume, and a standard fee of 0.28% of the total dollar 
value for Removed Sub-Dollar Volume, because they are comparable to the 
transaction fees charged by other exchanges for removing liquidity.\16\ 
The Exchange further believes that these fees are equitably allocated 
and not unfairly discriminatory because they apply equally to all 
Members and, when coupled with higher rebates for adding liquidity, as 
described below, are designed to facilitate increased activity on the 
Exchange to the benefit of all Members by providing more trading 
opportunities and promoting price discovery.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that it is appropriate, reasonable, and 
consistent with the Act to provide a standard rebate of $0.00295 per 
share for Added Displayed Volume, and a standard rebate of 0.075% of 
the total dollar value for Added Sub-Dollar Volume, because these 
rebates are consistent with transaction rebates provided by other 
exchanges.\17\ The Exchange further believes that this rebate structure 
is equitably allocated and not unfairly discriminatory because it 
applies equally to all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that charging a fee to the liquidity remover, 
and providing a rebate to the liquidity adder, is reasonable, 
equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory because it incentivizes 
liquidity provision on the Exchange. The Exchange also notes that 
several other exchanges charge fees for removing liquidity and provide 
rebates for adding liquidity, and that this aspect of the Exchange's 
proposed Fee Schedule does not raise any new or novel issues that have 
not previously been considered by the Commission in connection with the 
fees and rebates of other exchanges.
    The Exchange also believes that it is reasonable, equitable, and 
not unfairly discriminatory to provide a higher rebate for executions 
of Added Displayed Volume than for executions of Added Non-Displayed 
Volume as this rebate structure is designed to incentivize Members to 
send the Exchange displayable orders, thereby contributing to price 
discovery and price formation, consistent with the overall goal of 
enhancing market quality. Moreover, the Exchange notes that there are 
precedents for exchanges to provide rebates that distinguish between 
displayed and non-displayed volume to incentivize displayed orders and 
facilitate price discovery.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See, e.g., Long-Term Stock Exchange Inc. fee schedule, 
available at: <a href="https://ltse.com/trading/fee-schedules">https://ltse.com/trading/fee-schedules</a>; MIAX PEARL LLC 
fee schedule, available at: <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Equities_Fee_Schedule_08012025.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Equities_Fee_Schedule_08012025.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that under the initial proposed Fee Schedule it 
will pay the same rebate for Added Displayed Volume as the fee it 
charges for removing such volume for transactions priced at or above 
$1.00 per share, and as such the Exchange will have no net capture 
(i.e., will not make money) with respect to such transactions. As noted 
above, the Exchange will operate in a highly competitive market, and 
the Exchange believes this initial pricing structure will enable it to 
effectively compete with other exchanges by attracting Members and 
order flow to the Exchange, which will help the Exchange to gain market 
share for executions. The Exchange may determine to modify its pricing 
structure after it has gained sufficient participation from market 
participants to instead be profitable with respect to such 
transactions. The Exchange believes the initial pricing structure, 
including the zero net capture for Added Displayed Volume transactions 
priced at or above $1.00 per share, is designed to incentivize market 
participants to add aggressively priced displayed liquidity and direct 
their order flow to the Exchange, which the Exchange believes would 
promote price discovery and price formation and deepen liquidity that 
is subject to the Exchange's transparency, regulation, and oversight as 
an exchange, thereby enhancing market quality to the benefit of all 
Members and investors. The Exchange does not believe that the zero net 
capture with respect to Added Displayed Volume transactions priced at 
or above $1.00 per share will materially impact the capitalization of 
the Exchange or otherwise impair the Exchange's ability to operate or 
regulate itself. The Exchange is well-capitalized and the Exchange's 
parent company, 24X US Holdings LLC, has agreed to provide adequate 
funding for the Exchange's operations, including the regulation of the 
Exchange.
    With respect to orders routed to other markets, the Exchange also 
believes that it is appropriate, reasonable, and consistent with the 
Act to charge a standard fee of $0.0030 for Routed Removed Volume 
because this fee is similar to the fees charged by other exchanges for 
routed orders that remove liquidity from the destination market.\19\ 
The Exchange's initial fee for routing is intended to be a simple and 
transparent fee for Members that wish to use routing services provided 
by the Exchange. The Exchange reiterates that the routing services 
offered by the Exchange are completely optional and that the Exchange 
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants 
can readily select between various providers of routing services with 
different product offerings and different pricing. The Exchange 
believes that its flat fee structure for orders routed to all away 
venues is a fair and equitable approach to pricing, as it will provide 
certainty with respect to execution fees. The Exchange also believes 
the standard fee for Routed

[[Page 43715]]

Removed Volume is an equitable and not an unfairly discriminatory 
allocation of fees because it applies equally to all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ For example, the New York Stock Exchange trading fee 
schedule on its public website reflects a standard fee for routing 
of $0.0035, with a tier that provides a member firm the ability to 
pay a reduced routing fee of $0.0030; see <a href="https://www.nyse.com/markets/nyse/trading-info/fees">https://www.nyse.com/markets/nyse/trading-info/fees</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In conclusion, the Exchange submits that its proposed fee structure 
satisfies the requirements of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act 
for the reasons discussed above in that it provides for the equitable 
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its 
Members and other persons using its facilities, does not permit unfair 
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers, and is 
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove 
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and 
a national market system and in general to protect investors and the 
public interest, particularly as the proposal neither targets nor will 
it have a disparate impact on any particular category of market 
participant. As described more fully below in the Exchange's statement 
regarding the burden on competition, the Exchange believes that it is 
subject to significant competitive forces, and that its proposed fee 
and rebate structure is an appropriate effort to address such forces.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Rather, as 
discussed above, the Exchange believes that the proposed change would 
encourage the submission of additional order flow to a public exchange, 
thereby promoting market depth, execution incentives, and enhanced 
execution opportunities, as well as price discovery and transparency 
for all Members. As a result, the Exchange believes that the proposed 
change 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.'' \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Regulation NMS Adopting Release at 37499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, 
the Exchange believes that the proposed pricing structure will increase 
competition and is intended to draw volume to the Exchange as it 
commences operations. 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 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, and 
market participants can readily trade on competing venues if they deem 
pricing levels at those other venues to be more favorable. As a new 
exchange, the Exchange expects to face intense competition from 
existing exchanges and other non-exchange venues that provide markets 
for equities trading. With respect to the Exchange's initial pricing 
whereby it will operate with no net capture with respect to 
transactions involving Added Displayed Volume priced at or above $1.00 
per share, the Exchange is proposing this pricing initially upon its 
launch and for a limited time thereafter in an effort to encourage 
market participants to join, connect to, and participate on the 
Exchange. The Exchange expects to modify its pricing structure after it 
has gained sufficient participation from market participants to 
eliminate the negative net capture and instead be profitable with 
respect to such transactions.
    Although this pricing incentive is intended to attract liquidity to 
the Exchange, most other exchanges in operation today already offer 
multiple incentives to their participants, including tiered pricing 
that provides higher rebates or discounted executions, and other 
exchanges will be able to modify such incentives in order to compete 
with the Exchange. With respect to the specific pricing resulting in 
the negative net capture, the Exchange also notes that the proposed fee 
for Removed Volume is neither the lowest fee in the market today, nor 
is the proposed rebate provided to Added Displayed Volume the highest 
rebate in the market today.\21\ Accordingly, with respect to a market 
participant deciding to either submit an order to add or remove 
liquidity, there are multiple exchanges that will continue to be 
competitively priced for such orders when compared to the Exchange's 
pricing. Further, while pricing incentives do cause shifts of liquidity 
between trading centers, market participants make determinations on 
where to provide liquidity or route orders to take liquidity based on 
factors other than pricing, including technology, functionality, and 
other considerations. Consequently, the Exchange believes that the 
degree to which its fees and rebates could impose any burden on 
competition is extremely limited, and does not believe that such fees 
would burden competition of Members or competing venues in a manner 
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of 
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For example, the Investors Exchange fee schedule reflects 
standard fees for matched liquidity of $0.0010 for shares executed 
at or above $1.00, which would apply to all orders removing 
liquidity; see <a href="https://iextrading.com/trading/fees/">https://iextrading.com/trading/fees/</a>. Other markets 
offering ``taker/maker'' pricing provide rebates to provide 
liquidity; see, e.g., Nasdaq BX fee schedule, available at: <a href="https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=bx_pricing">https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=bx_pricing</a>; Cboe BYX fee 
schedule, available at: <a href="https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/byx/">https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/byx/</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the 
proposed fees and rebates apply equally to all Members. The proposed 
pricing structure is intended to encourage market participants to add 
displayed and non-displayed liquidity to the Exchange by providing 
rebates that are comparable to those offered by other exchanges as well 
as to provide a competitive rate charged for removing liquidity, which 
the Exchange believes will help to encourage Members to send orders to 
the Exchange to the benefit of all Exchange participants. As the 
proposed rates are equally applicable to all market participants, the 
Exchange does not believe there is any burden on intramarket 
competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \22\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(2) \23\ thereunder, the Exchange has designated this proposal as 
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the 
self-regulatory organization on any person, whether or not the person 
is a member of the self-regulatory organization, which renders the 
proposed rule change effective upon filing. At any time within 60 days 
of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission summarily 
may

[[Page 43716]]

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 shall institute proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) \24\ 
of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be 
approved or disapproved.
