[Release No. 34-104302; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2025-035]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice 
of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proceedings 
To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change, 
as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend Rule 11.21 To Allow a Retail 
Member Organization To Enter a Retail Order Onto the Exchange in a 
Principal Capacity

December 3, 2025.
    On May 21, 2025, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'') filed with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ 
and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to (i) amend Rule 
11.21(a)(2) to allow a Retail Member Organization to enter a Retail 
Order onto the Exchange in a principal capacity, provided the 
requirements of proposed Rule 11.21(g) are satisfied; (ii) codify in 
proposed new Rule 11.21(g) additional requirements a Retail Member 
Organization must comply with in order to enter Retail Orders as 
principal; and (iii) amend Rule 11.21(b)(6) to require that Retail 
Member Organizations have in place policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to ensure compliance with proposed Rule 11.21(g), as well as 
to ensure that the Retail Member Organization can, upon request by the 
Exchange, produce documentation evidencing compliance with the 
requirements of Rule 11.21(g).\3\ The Commission has not received any 
comments on the proposed rule change. On July 25, 2025, pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the Commission designated a longer 
period within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the 
proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to 
disapprove the proposed rule change.\5\ On September 4, 2025, the 
Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which 
amended and superseded the proposed rule change in its entirety.\6\ On 
September 5, 2025, the Commission published notice of Amendment No. 1 
and instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \7\ to 
determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as 
modified by Amendment No. 1.\8\

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \9\ provides that, after initiating 
proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving or 
disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after the 
date of publication of the notice of filing of the proposed rule 
change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not 
more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is 
appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on June 10, 2025.\10\ The 180th day after publication of the Notice is 
December 7, 2025. The Commission is extending the time period for 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60 
days.

    The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer 
period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the 
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the 
proposed rule change and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates 
February 5, 2026, as the date by which the Commission shall either 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by 
Amendment
