    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 August 29, 2025, MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX Pearl'' or

(``Commission'') a proposed rule change as described in Items I and II

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.
    \3\ All references to ``MIAX Pearl'' in this filing are to MIAX

See Exchange Rule 1901.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 2613 to specify the 
Exchange's source of market data for 24X National Exchange LLC 
(``24X'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/markets/us-equities/pearl-equities/rule-filings">https://www.miaxglobal.com/markets/us-equities/pearl-equities/rule-filings</a>, at MIAX Pearl's principal office.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, MIAX Pearl 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. MIAX Pearl 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 Exchange proposes to update and amend the use of data feeds 
table in Exchange Rule 2613, which sets forth on a market-by-market 
basis the specific securities information processor (``SIP'') and 
proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, 
execution, and routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory 
compliance checks related to each of those functions. Specifically, the 
Exchange proposes to amend the table in Rule 2613(a) to specify that, 
with respect to 24X, the Exchange will receive the SIP feed as its 
primary source of data for order handling, order execution, order 
routing, and regulatory compliance. The Exchange will not have a 
secondary source for data from 24X.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 24X announced that the first stage of 24 X National Exchange 
will launch on September 29, 2025. See 24 Exchange Announces Launch 
Date for First Stage of 24X National Exchange, the First SEC-
Approved 23/5 Stock Exchange, available at <a href="https://equities.24exchange.com/posts/24-exchange-announces-launch-date-for-first-stage-of-24x-national-exchange-the-first-sec-approved-235-stock-exchange">https://equities.24exchange.com/posts/24-exchange-announces-launch-date-for-first-stage-of-24x-national-exchange-the-first-sec-approved-235-stock-exchange</a>.

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

[[Page 44263]]

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\6\ 
in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and 
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with 
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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. The Exchange believes its proposal to amend the 
table in Exchange Rule 2613(a) to include the data feed source for 24X 
will ensure that Rule 2613 correctly identifies and publicly states on 
a market-by-market basis all of the specific SIP and proprietary data 
feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and 
routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks 
for each of those functions. The proposed rule change also removes 
impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and 
protects investors and the public interest by providing additional 
specificity, clarity, and transparency in the Exchange's rules.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not 
designed to address any competitive issue, but rather would provide the 
public and market participants with up-to-date information about the 
data feeds the Exchange will use for the handling, execution, and 
routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. 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 \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \8\ 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 after the date of filing, or such shorter time as the Commission 
may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 
of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 
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) \11\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\12\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal 
may become operative on September 29, 2025, the date on which 24X 
announced it will begin to trade equities securities. The Exchange 
states that the proposal is designed to identify the data feed to be 
used for 24X. For these reasons, and because this proposal does not 
raise any novel regulatory issues, the Commission finds that waiver of 
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby 
waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative 
upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ 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 under 
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \14\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
