Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Modify the 
NYSE Arca Options Fee Schedule

December 5, 2025.
    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 December 1, 2025, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II 
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 modify the NYSE Arca Options Fee Schedule 
(``Fee Schedule'') to (1) adopt a new pricing tier for Firm and Broker 
Dealer posted interest in Penny Issues; and (2) adopt an additional 
incentive for Market Makers to post liquidity in certain actively-
traded options classes. The Exchange proposes to implement the fee 
changes effective December 1, 2025. The proposed rule change is 
available on the Exchange's website at <a href="http://www.nyse.com">www.nyse.com</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 purpose of this filing is to modify the Fee Schedule to (1) 
adopt a new pricing tier for Firm and Broker Dealer posted interest in 
Penny Issues, and (2) adopt an additional incentive for Market Makers 
to post liquidity in certain actively-traded options classes, and more 
specifically, in the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (``IWM''), the Invesco 
QQQ Trust, Series 1 (``QQQ'') and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (``SPY'').
Firm and Broker Dealer Incentive
    The Exchange has adopted an incentive program under which the 
Exchange provides credits for posted Firm and Broker Dealer interest in 
Penny Issues (the ``FBD Posting Incentive'').\4\ Under this incentive 
program, the Exchange currently provides a base credit of $0.28 per 
contract on electronic executions of Firm and Broker Dealer posted 
interest in Penny Issues. Further, under current Tier 1 of the FBD 
Posting Incentive, OTP Holders that execute at least 0.30% of Total 
Customer Average Daily Volume (``TCADV'') \5\ from Firm and Broker 
Dealer posted interest in all issues receive a credit of $0.35 per 
contract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Fee Schedule, FIRM AND BROKER DEALER PENNY POSTING 
CREDIT TIERS (providing in the preamble that ``OTP Holders and OTP 
Firms meeting the qualifications below will receive corresponding 
credit on all electronic executions of Firm and Broker Dealer posted 
interest in Penny Issues'').
    \5\ TCADV includes OCC calculated Customer volume of all types, 
including Complex Order Transactions and QCC transactions, in equity 
and ETF options. See Fee Schedule, Endnote 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to adopt a new pricing tier under the FBD 
Posting Incentive. Under proposed new Tier 1 of the FBD Posting 
Incentive, OTP Holders that execute at least 0.20% of TCADV from Firm 
and Broker Dealer posted interest in all issues would receive a credit 
of $0.32 per contract.\6\ As is the case with current posting credit 
tiers, OTP Holders may aggregate their volume with affiliated OTPs to 
achieve the proposed credit under the new pricing tier.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ With the proposed adoption of the new pricing tier as Tier 
1, the Exchange proposes to rename current Tier 1 as Tier 2.
    \7\ See Fee Schedule, Endnotes 8 (providing that the proposed 
incentives will include the activity of affiliates) and 15 (defining 
affiliates referenced in Endnote 8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed new pricing tier under the FBD 
Posting Incentive is reasonable because OTP Holders (and their 
affiliates) can bring a variety of order flow to the Exchange, which 
may result in increased volume and liquidity. The Exchange's fees are 
constrained by intermarket competition, as OTP Holders may direct their 
order flow to any of the 18 options exchanges, including those with 
similar posting incentives.\8\ The Exchange notes that all market 
participants stand to benefit from increased transaction volume, which 
promotes market depth, facilitates tighter spreads and enhances price 
discovery, and may lead to a corresponding increase in order flow from 
other market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See, e.g., MIAX Pearl Options Exchange, Fee Schedule, 
available here, <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Options_Fee_Schedule_09232025_1.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Options_Fee_Schedule_09232025_1.pdf</a> 
(setting forth volume tiers for Non-Priority Customer, Firm, Broker 
Dealer and Non-MIAX Pearl Market Makers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange cannot predict with certainty whether any OTP Holders 
would avail themselves of this proposed fee change by achieving the 
requirement to qualify for the proposed new pricing tier under the FBD 
Posting Incentive. The Exchange notes that whether or when an OTP 
Holder qualifies for the various incentive tiers in a given month is 
dependent on market activity and an OTP Holder's mix of order flow. 
Thus, the Exchange cannot predict with any certainty the number of OTP 
Holders that may qualify for the proposed new tier. However, given the 
proposed new pricing tier may be achieved by meeting lesser volume 
criteria, the Exchange believes that OTP Holders would be encouraged to 
take advantage of the newly proposed pricing tier and its associated 
credit.
Market Maker Incentive
    Currently, Market Makers receive a $0.28 per contract credit for 
executions against Market Maker posted liquidity in Penny Pilot Issues 
and Lead Market Makers (``LMMs'') may receive an additional $0.05 per 
contract credit (for a total of $0.33 per contract credit) for posted 
liquidity in Penny Pilot Issues.\9\ Similarly, Market Makers may 
receive a $0.28 per contract credit for executions against their posted 
liquidity in SPY

[[Page 57261]]

and LMMs may receive an additional $0.04 per contract credit (for a 
total of $0.32 per contract credit) for posted liquidity in SPY if it 
is in the LMM's appointment.\10\ The Exchange currently offers 
additional incentives (i.e., enhanced credits) to Market Makers to post 
liquidity.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Fee Schedule, Transaction Fee for Electronic Executions, 
Per Contract. See also Market Maker Monthly Penny and SPY Posting 
Credit Tiers (the ``MM Credit Tiers'').
    \10\ See Fee Schedule, the MM Credit Tiers, Base Rate.
    \11\ See e.g., MM Credit Tiers, Super Tier (which provides a 
$0.39 per contract credit for executions of Market Maker posted 
interest in SPY provided the Market Maker achieves at least 0.55% of 
TCADV from Market Maker posted interest in all issues, or at least 
1.60% of TCADV from all interest in all issues, all account types, 
with at least 0.15% TCADV from Market Maker posted interest in all 
issues) and Super Select Tier (which provides a $0.40 per contract 
credit for executions of Market Maker posted interest in SPY 
provided the Market Maker achieves at least 0.25% of total combined 
IWM, QQQ, and SPY industry ADV from Market Maker posted interest in 
IWM, QQQ, and SPY, combined with an ETP Holder and Market Maker 
posted volume in Tape B Adding ADV that is equal to at least 1.55% 
of US Tape B CADV executed on NYSE Arca Equity Market).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also offers an incentive to encourage Market Makers to 
post interest in SPY. A Market Maker that has posted interest of at 
least 0.15% of TCADV in SPY during a calendar month currently receives 
a per contract credit of $0.36 for electronic executions against such 
posted interest. In addition, a Market Maker that has posted interest 
of at least 0.20% of TCADV in SPY during a calendar month currently 
receives a per contract credit of $0.45 for electronic executions 
against such posted interest. Given the heightened trading in IWM, QQQ 
and SPY, the Exchange proposes to add another incentive by offering any 
Market Maker that has posted Market Maker interest in IWM, QQQ, and SPY 
of at least 0.90% of total combined IWM, QQQ, and SPY industry ADV 
during a calendar month, a per contract credit of $0.36 for electronic 
executions against posted interest in IWM and QQQ, and a per contract 
credit of $0.45 for electronic executions against posted interest in 
SPY.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See proposed Fee Schedule, Market Maker Incentives for SPY 
(including reference to Endnote 8, which sets forth the calculations 
for monthly posting credits).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As is the case today, a Market Maker that qualifies for more than 
one available credit will always receive the highest rebate applicable 
to a transaction. For example, a Market Maker that is eligible to 
receive both the $0.40 per contract credit under the Super Select Tier 
as well as the proposed $0.45 per contract credit via the Market Maker 
Incentive for SPY would receive the latter (higher) credit.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\13\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\14\ in particular, 
because it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and other persons 
using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate between 
customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed change is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly 
discriminatory. As a threshold matter, the Exchange is subject to 
significant competitive forces in the market for options securities 
transaction services that constrain its pricing determinations in that 
market. The Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for 
competition over regulatory intervention in determining prices, 
products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation NMS, 
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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 
2005), 70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (S7-10-04) (``Reg NMS 
Adopting Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are currently 18 registered options exchanges competing for 
order flow. Based on publicly-available information, and excluding 
index-based options, no single exchange has more than 16% of the market 
share of executed volume of multiply-listed equity and ETF options 
trades.\16\ Therefore, currently no exchange possesses significant 
pricing power in the execution of multiply-listed equity and ETF 
options order flow. More specifically, in October 2025, the Exchange 
had 10.09% market share of executed volume of multiply-listed equity 
and ETF options trades.\17\ In such a low-concentrated and highly 
competitive market, no single options exchange possesses significant 
pricing power in the execution of option order flow. Within this 
environment, market participants can freely and often do shift their 
order flow among the Exchange and competing venues in response to 
changes in their respective pricing schedules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The OCC publishes options and futures volume in a variety 
of formats, including daily and monthly volume by exchange, 
available here: <a href="https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics">https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics</a>.
    \17\ Based on a compilation of OCC data for monthly volume of 
equity-based options and monthly volume of ETF-based options, see 
id., the Exchange's market share in multiply-listed equity and ETF 
options decreased from 12.55% in October 2024 to 10.09% for the 
month of October 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Proposed Rule Change Is Reasonable
Firm and Broker Dealer Incentive
    The Exchange believes the proposed new pricing tier under the FBD 
Posting Incentive is a reasonable means to incent OTP Holders to 
transact more options volume on the Exchange. The FBD Posting Incentive 
is designed to encourage OTP Holders to increase the Firm and Broker 
dealer volume sent to the Exchange for execution. The proposed new 
pricing tier, which will be available to participants that qualify for 
the FBD Posting Incentive, would encourage increased market 
participation by OTP Holders and their affiliates. The Exchange 
believes this should increase volume and liquidity on the Exchange to 
the benefit of all market participants by providing more trading 
opportunities and tighter spreads, and may lead to a corresponding 
increase in order flow from other market participants. Further, the FBD 
Posting Incentive is similar to and competitive with posting credits 
tiers for Firm and Broker Dealer volume offered by other exchanges 
[sic] \18\ and is designed to attract (and compete for) order flow to 
the Exchange, which provides a greater opportunity for trading by all 
market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See supra, note 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed change to adopt a new 
pricing tier under the existing FBD Posting Incentive would incent OTP 
Holders to increase the number and variety orders sent to the Exchange 
for execution. Further, the Exchange notes that it continues to provide 
OTP Holders alternative methods (and thus increased opportunities) to 
qualify for posting credits, resulting in favorable rates for a variety 
of order types. As such, OTP Holders would be encouraged to increase 
their participation on the Exchange, thereby improving the quoted 
markets and attracting more order flow to the Exchange. To the extent 
that the proposed change attracts more order flow to the Exchange, this 
increased order flow would continue to make the Exchange a more 
competitive venue for order execution, which, in turn, promotes just 
and equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to and 
perfects the mechanism of a free

[[Page 57262]]

and open market and a national market system.
    Finally, to the extent the proposed change continues to attract 
greater volume and liquidity, the Exchange believes the proposed change 
would improve the Exchange's overall competitiveness and strengthen its 
market quality for all market participants. In the backdrop of the 
competitive environment in which the Exchange operates, the proposed 
rule change is a reasonable attempt by the Exchange to increase the 
depth of its market and improve its market share relative to its 
competitors.
Market Maker Incentive
    The Exchange believes that providing an additional incentive for 
executions against posted liquidity in IWM, QQQ, and SPY is a 
reasonable means to encourage greater participation in these three 
actively-traded options classes, which are consistently the most active 
options issues nationally. The proposed incentive would also provide an 
additional means for Market Makers to qualify for increased credits for 
posting volume on the Exchange. By encouraging activity in these 
options classes, the Exchange believes that opportunities to qualify 
for other rebates are increased, which benefits all participants 
through increased Market Maker activity. The Exchange also believes 
that encouraging a higher level of trading volume in IWM, QQQ, and SPY 
should increase opportunities for OTP Holders and OTP Firms to achieve 
credits available through existing incentive programs, such as the MM 
Credit Tiers, which provides OTP Holders and OTP Firms the ability to 
achieve per contract credit for electronic executions of posted Market 
Maker interest in IWM, QQQ, and SPY by combining the volume of the OTP 
Holder and OTP Firm with volume of their affiliates or Appointed Market 
Maker. To the extent that order flow, which adds liquidity, is 
increased by the proposal, OTP Holders and OTP Firms will be encouraged 
to compete for the opportunity to trade on the Exchange, including by 
sending additional order flow to the Exchange to achieve higher tiers 
or enhanced rebates. The resulting increased volume and liquidity would 
benefit all Exchange participants by providing more trading 
opportunities and tighter spreads.
    The Exchange also notes that the proposed additional incentive for 
posting in IWM, QQQ, and SPY is reasonable as it is consistent with 
credits offered to Market Makers by other options exchanges [sic].\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See, e.g., MIAX Pearl Fee Schedule, Section 1.a., 
Transaction Rebates/Fees, Exchange Rebates/Fees--Add/Remove Tiered 
Rebates/Fees, available here, <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Options_Fee_Schedule_09232025_1.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Pearl_Options_Fee_Schedule_09232025_1.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Proposed Rule Change Is an Equitable Allocation of Credits and Fees 
and Is Not Unfairly Discriminatory
Firm and Broker Dealer Incentive
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is an equitable 
allocation of its fees and credits, and is not unfairly discriminatory, 
as it applies equally to all similarly-situated market participants on 
an equal and non-discriminatory basis.
    The proposal is based on the amount and type of business transacted 
on the Exchange and OTP Holders can opt to avail themselves of the 
incentives or not. Moreover, the proposal is designed to encourage OTP 
Holders to submit orders from all account types to the Exchange as a 
primary execution venue. To the extent that the proposed change 
attracts more Firm and Broker Dealer orders to the Exchange, this 
increased order flow would continue to make the Exchange a more 
competitive venue for order execution. Thus, the Exchange believes the 
proposed rule change would improve market quality for all market 
participants on the Exchange and, as a consequence, attract more order 
flow to the Exchange thereby improving market-wide quality and price 
discovery.
    The Exchange believes it is not unfairly discriminatory to 
introduce a new pricing tier as it would be available to all similarly 
situated market participants on an equal and non-discriminatory basis. 
The proposal is based on the amount and type of business transacted on 
the Exchange and OTP Holders are not obligated to try to achieve the 
qualifications for the proposed new pricing tier, nor are they 
obligated to execute Firm and Broker Dealer orders. Rather, the 
proposal is designed to encourage OTP Holders to utilize the Exchange 
as a primary trading venue for Firm and Broker Dealer executions (if 
they have not done so previously) or increase volume sent to the 
Exchange. To the extent that the proposed change attracts more Firm and 
Broker Dealer orders to the Exchange, this increased order flow would 
continue to make the Exchange a more competitive venue for, among other 
things, order execution. Thus, the Exchange believes the proposed rule 
change would improve market quality for all market participants on the 
Exchange and, as a consequence, attract more order flow to the Exchange 
thereby improving market-wide quality and price discovery. The 
resulting increased volume and liquidity would provide more trading 
opportunities and tighter spreads to all market participants and thus 
would promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
Market Maker Incentive
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is an equitable 
allocation of its fees and credits, and is not unfairly discriminatory, 
as it applies equally to all similarly-situated market participants on 
an equal and non-discriminatory basis.
    The proposal is based on the amount and type of business transacted 
on the Exchange and OTP Holders can opt to avail themselves of the 
incentives or not. Moreover, the proposal is designed to encourage OTP 
Holders to submit orders in IWM, QQQ, and SPY to the Exchange as a 
primary execution venue. To the extent that the proposed change 
attracts more Market Maker orders to the Exchange, this increased order 
flow would continue to make the Exchange a more competitive venue for 
order execution. Thus, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change 
would improve market quality for all market participants on the 
Exchange and, as a consequence, attract more order flow to the Exchange 
thereby improving market-wide quality and price discovery.
    The Exchange believes that providing an additional incentive for 
executions against posted liquidity in IWM, QQQ, and SPY is not 
unfairly discriminatory. The proposed incentive is not unfairly 
discriminatory to non-Market Markers (i.e., Customers, Professionals 
Customers, Firms and Broker-Dealers) because such market participants 
are not subject to the burdens and heightened obligations that apply to 
Market Makers, such as burdensome quoting obligations and costs related 
to market making activities. The Exchange believes the proposed 
incentive is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory 
because encouraging Market Makers to direct more volume to the Exchange 
would also contribute to the Exchange's depth of book as well as to the 
top of book liquidity.

[[Page 57263]]

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, the Exchange does 
not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any burden on 
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act. Instead, as discussed above, the Exchange believes 
that the proposed change to adopt a new pricing tier and additional 
incentives for trading in IWM, QQQ and SPY are each a response to the 
competitive environment in which the Exchange operates, and the 
proposed credits are consistent with incentives offered by the 
Exchange's competitors. As a result, the Exchange believes that the 
proposed changes further the Commission's goal in adopting Regulation 
NMS of fostering integrated competition among orders, which promotes 
``more efficient pricing of individual stocks for all types of orders, 
large and small.'' \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Reg NMS Adopting Release, supra note 15, at 37499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Intramarket Competition. The proposed change to adopt a new pricing 
tier is designed to attract additional order flow (particularly Firm 
and Broker Dealer orders) to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that 
the proposed changes to the FBD Posting Incentive would continue to 
encourage market participants to direct a variety of order flow to the 
Exchange, including Firm and Broker Dealer execution volume to the 
Exchange. Greater liquidity benefits all market participants on the 
Exchange and increased Firm and Broker Dealer transactions would 
increase opportunities for execution of other trading interest. The 
proposed change would be available to all similarly-situated market 
participants (including those that handle Firm and Broker Dealer order 
flow), and, as such, the proposed change would not impose a disparate 
burden on competition among market participants on the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed change to adopt an 
additional incentive for Market Makers would encourage competition, 
including by attracting additional liquidity to the Exchange, which 
would continue to make the Exchange a more competitive venue for, among 
other things, order execution and price discovery. The Exchange does 
not believe that the proposed change would impair the ability of any 
market participants or competing order execution venues to maintain 
their competitive standing in the financial markets. Further, the 
incentive would not impose an unfair burden on non-Market Markers 
because such market participants are not subject to the burdens and 
heightened obligations that apply to Market Makers.
    Intermarket Competition. The Exchange operates in a highly 
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor one 
of the 17 other competing option exchanges if they deem fee levels at a 
particular venue to be excessive.
    In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust its 
fees and credits to remain competitive with other exchanges and to 
attract order flow to the Exchange. Based on publicly-available 
information, and excluding index-based options, no single exchange has 
more than 16% of the market share of executed volume of multiply-listed 
equity and ETF options trades.\21\ Therefore, currently no exchange 
possesses significant pricing power in the execution of multiply-listed 
equity and ETF options order flow. More specifically, in October 2025, 
the Exchange had 10.09% market share of executed volume of multiply-
listed equity and ETF options trades.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ The OCC publishes options and futures volume in a variety 
of formats, including daily and monthly volume by exchange, 
available here: <a href="https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics">https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics</a>.
    \22\ Based on a compilation of OCC data for monthly volume of 
equity-based options and monthly volume of ETF-based options, see 
id., the Exchange's market share in multiply-listed equity and ETF 
options decreased from 12.55% in October 2024 to 10.09% for the 
month of October 2025.
