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 revise the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of 24X 
Bermuda Holdings LLC (the ``24X Bermuda Holdco Agreement'') to provide 
a brief two-month extension of the temporary exemption from the 
ownership and voting limitations set forth in Section 9.2(g) of the 24X 
Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement with respect to Dmitri Galinov and his 
Related Persons. 24X Bermuda Holdings LLC (``24X Bermuda Holdco'') 
wholly owns 24X US Holdings LLC (``24X US Holdco''), which, in turn, 
wholly owns the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is 
available on the Exchange's website (<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 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 Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposed rule change 
to revise the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of 24X 
Bermuda Holdings LLC (the ``24X Bermuda Holdco Agreement'') to provide 
a brief two-month extension of the temporary exemption from the 
ownership and voting limitations set forth in Section 9.2(g) of the 24X 
Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement with respect to Dmitri Galinov and his 
Related Persons. 24X Bermuda Holdings LLC (``24X Bermuda Holdco'') 
wholly owns 24X US Holdings LLC (``24X US Holdco''), which, in turn, 
wholly owns the Exchange.
a. Background
i. Temporary Exemption From Ownership and Voting Limitations
    The 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement includes restrictions on the 
ability to own and vote units in 24X Bermuda Holdco (``Units'').\5\ As 
the SEC stated in its approval order for the registration of the 
Exchange, ``[t]hese limitations are designed to prevent any party to 
the 24X Bermuda LLC Agreement from exercising undue control over the 
operation of the Exchange and to ensure that the Exchange and the 
Commission are able to carry out their regulatory obligations under the 
Exchange Act.'' \6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Section 9.2 of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement.
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Rel. No. 101777 (Nov. 27, 2024), 
89 FR 97092, 97095 (Dec. 6, 2024) (``24X Registration Approval 
Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The relevant ownership limitation in the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC 
Agreement provides that, for so long as 24X Bermuda Holdco shall 
control, directly or indirectly, 24X, no Person, either alone or 
together with its Related

[[Page 47112]]

Persons,\7\ are permitted to own, directly or indirectly, of record or 
beneficially, more than forty percent of the then issued and 
outstanding Units.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For the definition of a Related Person, see Section 1.49 of 
the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement.
    \8\ Section 9.2(a)(i) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement. 
While Section 9.2(a)(ii) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement 
also sets forth an ownership restriction that applies to 24X 
Exchange Members, this provision does not apply to Dmitri Galinov; 
the ownership limitation that does apply to Dmitri Galinov and his 
Related Persons is set forth in Section 9.2(a)(i) of the 24X Bermuda 
Holdco LLC Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, with regard to the voting limitation, the 24X Bermuda 
Holdco LLC Agreement provides that no Person, alone or together with 
its Related Persons, may, directly, indirectly, or pursuant to any 
voting trust, agreement, plan or other arrangement, vote or cause the 
voting of Units or give any consent or proxy with respect to Units 
representing more than 20% of the voting power of the then issued and 
outstanding Units.\9\ Nor may any Person, either alone or together with 
its Related Persons, enter into any agreement, plan or other 
arrangement with any other Person, either alone or together with its 
Related Persons, under circumstances that would result in the Units 
that are subject to such agreement, plan or other arrangement not being 
voted on any matter or matters or any proxy relating thereto being 
withheld, where the effect of such agreement, plan or other arrangement 
would be to enable any Person, either alone or together with its 
Related Persons, to vote, possess the right to vote, or cause the 
voting of Units that would represent more than 20% of such voting 
power.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement.
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As set forth in the Section 9.2(g)(i) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC 
Agreement, Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons have a temporary 
exemption from the ownership limitation set forth in Section 9.2 of the 
24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement until nine months after the Commission 
grants 24X's application for registration as a national securities 
exchange or until 24X commences operation, if later than nine 
months.\11\ Further, the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement states that 
if Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons do not comply with the 
ownership limitation in Section 9.2 of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC 
Agreement within the applicable time period, then 24X Bermuda shall 
redeem all of the Units the holding of which by Dmitri Galinov and/or 
his Related Persons results in a violation of Section 9.2 for a price 
per Unit, as applicable, equal to the lesser of (a) book value or (b) 
Fair Market Value of such Units.\12\

    \11\ Section 9.2(g)(i) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement.
    \12\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons also have a temporary 
exemption from the voting limitation set forth in Section 9.2 of the 
24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement until nine months after the Commission 
grants 24X's application for registration as a national securities 
exchange or until 24X commences operation, if later than nine months, 
but only with respect to any vote regarding any merger, consolidation 
or dissolution of the 24X Bermuda or any sale of all or substantially 
all of the assets of the 24X Bermuda.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Section 9.2(g)(ii) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When the Commission approved the limited temporary exemption in 
Section 9.2(g) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement from the 
ownership limitation and voting imitations set forth in Section 9.2 of 
the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement for Dmitri Galinov and his Related 
Persons as consistent with the Exchange Act, the Commission determined 
that the limited, defined period time in which the exemption would be 
in place would prevent Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons from 
exercising undue control over 24X and minimize the possibility that 
24X's ability to carry out its self-regulatory responsibilities under 
the Exchange Act could be impaired.\14\ In addition, the Commission 
noted that, because the exemption from the voting limitation applies 
only with respect to the limited situations involving any merger, 
consolidation or dissolution of 24X Bermuda Holdco or any sale of all 
or substantially all of the assets of the 24X Bermuda Holdco, the 
exemption would not permit undue control over 24X or impair the 
regulatory responsibilities of 24X.\15\ The Commission further noted 
that the ``temporary exemption is designed to afford Dmitri Galinov and 
his Related Persons the ability to protect the investment they have 
already made in the establishment of 24X that is over the current 
ownership limitation, represented by 24X to be 3.29% of the Units of 
all outstanding Units.'' \16\ Finally, the Commission noted that the 
Commission has approved other temporary exemptions from the ownership 
or voting limitations included in the governance documents of owners of 
a national securities exchange.\17\

the LLC Operating Agreement of the Proposed New Exchange Facility to 
be Operated by the Boston Options Exchange Group LLC) (approval of 
an exemption from a voting limitation for a period of 10 years for 
an owner of the BOX facility).

from an ownership limitation for period of 10 years for certain 
founders of the exchange).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ii. Ownership by Dmitri Galinov and Related Persons
    Exhibit K of 24X's Form 1 describes Dmitri Galinov and his Related 
Person's 43.07% ownership of 24X Bermuda Holdco. Absent the exemption, 
such ownership would exceed the 40% ownership limitation set forth in 
the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement. Specifically, Exhibit K of 24X's 
Form 1 describes their ownership as follows:
    Dmitri Galinov owns 7,000,000 Common Units and 179,215 Seed-3 
Preferred Units, for a total of 7,179,215 Units for all classes 
outstanding. Dmitri Galinov is a Related Person of KNG CAPITAL LLC, 
Tanya Nazarov-Kenneally, and Vladimir Nazarov. KNG CAPITAL LLC owns 
320,616 Seed-1 Preferred Units, which represents 1.84% of all classes 
of outstanding Units. Tanya Nazarov-Kenneally owns 1794 Seed-3 
Preferred Units, which represents 0.01% of all classes of outstanding 
Units. Vladimir Nazarov owns 7176 Seed-3 Preferred Units, which 
represents 0.04% of all classes of outstanding Units. Accordingly, on 
an aggregate basis, Dmitri Galinov, together with his Related Persons, 
owns 43.07% of the Units of all classes of outstanding Units.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Exhibit K of 24X Form 1 at footnote 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

iii. Expiration of Temporary Exemption
    The Commission granted 24X's application for registration as a 
national securities exchange on November 27, 2024; therefore, nine 
months after such date is August 27, 2025. 24X plans to commence 
operation on September 29, 2025, which is the later of the two dates. 
Therefore, the temporary exemption is expected to expire on September 
29, 2025.
b. Short Extension of Temporary Exemption From Ownership and Voting 
Limitations
    The Exchange proposes to revise the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC 
Agreement to provide a brief two-month extension of the temporary 
exemption from the

[[Page 47113]]

ownership and voting limitations set forth in Section 9.2(g) of the 24X 
Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement with respect to Dmitri Galinov and his 
Related Persons. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend Sections 
9.2(g)(i) and (ii) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC Agreement to state 
that the temporary exemptions would be in place until nine months after 
the date of approval by the SEC of 24X National Exchange's Form 1 
application to register as a national securities exchange or until two 
months after commencement of the operation of the national securities 
exchange, if later than nine months. Accordingly, with this change and 
the expected go-live date for the Exchange of September 29, 2025, the 
temporary exemption would be in place until November 29, 2025, rather 
than September 29, 2025. This brief two-month extension would allow the 
Exchange to finalize a transaction to dilute Dmitri Galinnov and his 
Related Person's indirect ownership in the Exchange, make the necessary 
rule filings to implement such transaction, and for the Commission to 
consider such filings.
    The proposed two-month extension of the temporary exemption would 
provide a reasonable and limited accommodation to a new entrant in the 
exchange market, allowing the Exchange to commence operation as 
scheduled on September 29, 2025 while it addresses the regulatory 
requirements related to the pending dilution transaction. The brief 
extension also would allow 24X Bermuda Holdco to avoid the potentially 
significant expense of redeeming all of the Units the holding of which 
by Dmitri Galinov and/or his Related Persons results in a violation of 
Section 9.2 for a price per Unit, as applicable, equal to the lesser of 
(a) book value or (b) Fair Market Value of such Units. Incurring such 
an expense, particularly for the indirect parent of a new Exchange 
seeking to commence operations, is unnecessary in light of the pendency 
of a transaction to dilute the ownership percentages of Dmitri Galinov 
and his Related Persons. Moreover, the proposed dilution transaction is 
intended to provide additional funds for 24X US Holdco, which may be 
used with regard to the operation and regulation of the Exchange.
    Furthermore, the reasons that the Commission cited for approving 
the temporary exemption in Section 9.2(g) of the 24X Bermuda Holdco LLC 
Agreement as consistent with the Exchange Act also support the approval 
of the brief, two-month extension of the exemption. First, the limited, 
defined short period of time in which the extension would be in place 
would serve to prevent Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons from 
exercising undue control over 24X and minimize the possibility that 
24X's ability to carry out its self-regulatory responsibilities under 
the Exchange Act could be impaired. Second, because the exemption from 
the voting limitation would continue to apply only with respect to the 
limited situations involving any merger, consolidation or dissolution 
of 24X Bermuda Holdco or any sale of all or substantially all of the 
assets of the 24X Bermuda Holdco, it would not permit undue control 
over 24X or impair the regulatory responsibilities of 24X. Third, the 
extension of the temporary exemption is designed to afford Dmitri 
Galinov and his Related Persons the ability to protect the investment 
they have already made in the establishment of 24X that is over the 
current ownership limitation, which is only by 3.07% of the Units of 
all outstanding Units. Fourth, as the Commission previously noted, the 
Commission has approved other temporary exemptions from the ownership 
or voting limitations included in the governance documents of owners of 
a national securities exchange.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49067 (Jan. 13, 
2004), 69 FR 2761 (Jan. 20, 2004) (order granting approval to a 
proposed rule change by the Boston Stock Exchange Inc. Relating to 
the LLC Operating Agreement of the Proposed New Exchange Facility to 
be Operated by the Boston Options Exchange Group LLC) (approval of 
an exemption from a voting limitation for a period of 10 years for 
an owner of the BOX facility).
    See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 42455 (Feb. 24, 
2000), 65 FR 11388 (Mar. 2, 2000) (File No. 10-127) (order granting 
registration of the International Securities Exchange LLC) (approval 
of an exemption from an ownership limitation for period of 10 years 
for certain founders of the exchange).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act \20\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act \21\ in particular, 
in that 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 
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and, 
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, 
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act \22\ requirement that the rules of 
an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between 
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange also believes 
that the proposed rule change would further the objectives of Section 
6(b)(1) of the Act,\23\ in particular, in that such amendments enable 
the Exchange to be so organized as to have the capacity to be able to 
carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply with the provisions of 
the Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of the 
Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \22\ See id.
    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The brief two-month extension of the temporary exemption would 
provide a reasonable and limited accommodation to a new entrant in the 
exchange market, allowing the Exchange to commence operation as 
scheduled on September 29, 2025. The two-month extension would allow 
the Exchange to address the regulatory requirements related to the 
pending transaction without incurring the potentially significant 
expense of redeeming all of the Units in excess of the ownership 
limitations of Dmitri Galinov and/or his Related Persons.
    Furthermore, the brief, two-month extension of the exemption would 
not undermine the goals of the ownership and voting limitations. Such a 
brief extension would serve to prevent Dmitri Galinov and his Related 
Persons from exercising undue control over 24X and minimize the 
possibility that 24X's ability to carry out its self-regulatory 
responsibilities under the Exchange Act could be impaired. Second, 
because the exemption from the voting limitation would continue to 
apply only with respect to the limited situations involving any merger, 
consolidation or dissolution of 24X Bermuda Holdco or any sale of all 
or substantially all of the assets of the 24X Bermuda Holdco, it would 
not permit undue control over 24X or impair the regulatory 
responsibilities of 24X. Third, the extension of the temporary 
exemption is designed to afford Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons 
the ability to protect the investment they have already made in the 
establishment of 24X that is over the current ownership limitation, 
which is only by 3.07% of the Units of all outstanding Units. Fourth, 
the temporary exemption is consistent with other temporary exemptions 
from the ownership or voting limitations approved by the Commission 
with regard to other national securities exchanges.

[[Page 47114]]

    Finally, the extension of the temporary exemption would provide 
additional time to facilitate additional investment and funding in 24X 
US Holdco. Such investment could be used by 24X US Holdco and its 
subsidiary, the Exchange, for general corporate expenses, including to 
support the operations and regulation of the Exchange. Such additional 
funding would enable the Exchange to be organized as to have the 
capacity to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply with the 
provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and the 
rules of the Exchange, and, in turn, would protect investors and the 
public interest.

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 Exchange Act. The Exchange 
believes that the proposed brief, two-month extension of the temporary 
exemption from the ownership and voting limitations would enhance 
competition. By providing 24X, a new entrant to the exchange market, 
with limited additional time to address the regulatory requirements 
regarding the dilution of the indirect ownership interest of Dmitri 
Galinov and his Related Persons in the Exchange, the Exchange may 
commence operation as planned, thereby bringing a new exchange to 
market without delay. In doing so, however, the extension is short 
enough to limit adverse competitive consequences related to the 
exemption from the intended regulatory goals of the ownership and 
voting limitations. Furthermore, the proposed rule change would enhance 
competition by allowing additional time for the Exchange to seek to 
increase the diversity of indirect ownership of the Exchange.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the 
proposed rule change.

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 \24\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \25\ 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 \26\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \27\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \25\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \27\ 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) \28\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\29\ 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 waiving the 30-day operative delay is 
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest 
because the proposal provides a brief extension of time for the 
Exchange to finalize a transaction, and the accompanying regulatory 
requirements, that would dilute Dmitri Galinov and his Related Persons' 
ownership interest and bring them within the ownership limitation set 
forth in the 24X Bermuda Holdco Agreement. Further, the proposal will 
allow the Exchange to commence operations on September 29, 2025 and 
does not introduce any novel regulatory issues. Accordingly, the 
Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon 
filing.\30\

    \29\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \30\ 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
