    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 December 4, 2025, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or 
``BZX'') 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 Exchange. 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

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX Options'') 
proposes to adopt fees for its market data feeds. The text of the 
proposed rule change is also available on the Commission's website 
(<a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml">https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml</a>), the Exchange's website (<a href="https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/">https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/</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

[[Page 58345]]

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 proposes to modify its fee schedule to implement fees 
for its BZX Options Complex Depth, BZX Options Complex Top, and BZX 
Options Complex Auction Feeds for the Exchange's Complex Order Book \3\ 
(collectively, the ``Complex Order Feeds'').\4\ BZX Options Complex 
Depth is a data feed that offers depth of book quotations and execution 
information based on options orders entered onto the Complex Order 
Book. BZX Options Complex Top is a data feed that offers top of book 
quotations and execution information based on orders entered onto the 
Complex Order Book. Finally, BZX Options Complex Auction provides 
information regarding the current status of price and size information 
related to auctions conducted by the Exchange for the Complex Order 
Book. Similar to the Exchange's BZX Options Depth Feed and BZX Options 
Top Feed, the Complex Order Feeds are all real-time market data feeds. 
Each of the Exchange's Complex Order Feeds can help subscribers make 
informed investment decisions and operate in the same manner as the 
Exchange's affiliated options exchange feeds.\5\ Market participants 
are not required to purchase the Complex Order Feeds. Moreover, market 
participants are not required to purchase a Complex Order Feed in order 
to receive BZX Options Top or BZX Options Depth. Similarly, market 
participants are not required to purchase BZX Options Top or BZX 
Options Depth in order to receive the Complex Order Feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Complex Order Book and COB The terms ``Complex Order Book'' 
and ``COB'' mean the Exchange's electronic book of complex orders 
used for all trading sessions. See BZX Rule 21.18.
    \4\ The Complex Order feeds were introduced by the Exchange on 
October 13, 2025. See SR-CboeBZX-2025-127. The Complex Order feeds 
were launched in conjunction with BZX Options' offering of complex 
order types, effective October 13, 2025. See SR-CboeBZX-2025-126.
    \5\ See e.g., Cboe EDGX Rule 21.15(b)(1), 21.15(b)(2) and 
21.15(b)(5). Noting that all three feeds: EDGX Options Depth, EDGX 
Options Top and EDGX Options Auction Feed, offer separate data feeds 
for the EDGX Simple Book and EDGX Complex Order Book as such terms 
are defined in EDGX Rule 21.20.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Complex Order Feed fees include the following, each of 
which are described in detail below: (i) Distribution fees for both 
Internal Distributors \6\ and External Distributors; \7\ and (ii) Usage 
fees for both Professional Users \8\ and Non-Professional Users.\9\ 
Fora mid-month subscription, the monthly fees shall be prorated based 
on the initial date of subscription.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ An Internal Distributor of an Exchange Market Data product 
is a Distributor that receives the Exchange Market Data product and 
then distributes that data to one or more Users within the 
Distributor's own entity.
    \7\ An External Distributor of an Exchange Market Data product 
is a Distributor that receives the Exchange Market Data product and 
then distributes that data to a third party or one or more Users 
outside the Distributor's own entity.
    \8\ A Professional User of an Exchange Market Data product is 
any User other than a Non-Professional User.
    \9\ A ``Non-Professional User'' of an Exchange Market Data 
product is a natural person or qualifying trust that uses Data only 
for personal purposes and not for any commercial purpose and, for a 
natural person who works in the United States, is not: (i) 
registered or qualified in any capacity with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any 
state securities agency, any securities exchange or association, or 
any commodities or futures contract market or association; (ii) 
engaged as an ``investment adviser'' as that term is defined in 
Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 (whether 
or not registered or qualified under that Act); or (iii) employed by 
a bank or other organization exempt from registration under federal 
or state securities laws to perform functions that would require 
registration or qualification if such functions were performed for 
an organization not so exempt; or, for a natural person who works 
outside of the United States, does not perform the same functions as 
would disqualify such person as a Non-Professional User if he or she 
worked in the United States.
    \10\ The Exchange notes that for the purposes of proration, the 
first date of initial subscription will be November 13, 2025, which 
is the date the US government, and United States Securities and 
Exchange Commission re-opened. Due to the US government shutdown, 
the Exchange initially submitted the proposed rule change on 
November 13, 2025 (SR-CboeBZX-2025-143). On November 25, 2025, the 
Exchange withdrew that proposal and submitted SR-CboeBZX-2025-153. 
On December 4, 2025, the Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted 
this proposal.

          BZX Options Complex Top/Complex Depth/Complex Auction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internal Distribution Fee................  $2,000/month
External Distribution Fee................  $1,500/month.
Professional User Fee....................  $20/month.
Non-Professional User Fee................  $1.00/month.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distribution Fees

    The Exchange proposes charging Internal Distributors $2,000 per 
month, and External Distributors $1,500 per month, to access and 
distribute any one or all of the Complex Order Feeds. Additionally, the 
Exchange proposes to add language to its fee schedule providing that 
when a Distributor receives a Complex Order Feed for both Internal and 
External Distribution the Distributor will be subject to the greater of 
the two Distribution fees. Furthermore, the Exchange proposes to add 
language to its fee schedule that Distributors of any one of BZX 
Options Complex Top Feed, BZX Options Complex Depth Feed, and/or BZX 
Options Complex Auction Feed may receive, at no additional charge, 
access to any or all of the aforementioned Complex Order Feeds.

User Fees

    The Exchange proposes to assess a monthly fee for Professional 
Users of $20 per User. Non-Professional Users will be assessed a 
monthly fee of $1.00 per User. Distributors that receive any one BZX 
Options Complex Depth Feed, BZX Options Complex Top Feed, and/or the 
BZX Options Complex Auction Feed, will be required to count every 
Professional User and Non-Professional User to which they provide the 
market data product(s), the requirements for which are identical to 
that currently in place for other market data products offered by the 
Exchange's equity trading platform. A User of any one of the Complex 
Order Feeds may receive, at no additional charge, access to any or all 
of the other aforementioned Complex Order Feeds. Thus, a Distributor's 
count will include every person and device that accesses the data 
regardless of the purpose for which the individual or device uses the 
data. Distributors must report all Professional and Non-Professional 
Users in accordance with the following:
    <bullet> In connection with a Distributor's distribution of a 
Complex Order Feed, the Distributor should count as one User each 
unique User that the Distributor has entitled to have access to the 
market data product. However, where a device is dedicated specifically 
to a single individual, the Distributor should count only the 
individual and need not count the device.
    <bullet> The Distributor should identify and report each unique 
User. If a User uses the same unique method to gain access to the 
Complex Order Feed, the Distributor should count that as one User. 
However, if a unique User uses multiple methods to gain access to the 
Complex Order Feed (e.g., a single User has multiple passwords and user 
identifications), the Distributor should report all of those methods as 
an individual User.
    <bullet> Distributors should report each unique individual person 
who receives access through multiple devices as one User so long as 
each device is dedicated specifically to that individual.
    <bullet> If a Distributor entitles one or more individuals to use 
the same device, the

[[Page 58346]]

Distributors should include only the individuals, and not the device, 
in the count.
    Each of these proposed changes will be codified on the Exchange's 
Fee Schedule in a new section titled, ``BZX Options Complex Top, 
Complex Depth, Complex Auction Feeds:''.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and 
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, 
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\11\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \12\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be 
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 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 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) \13\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, 
brokers, or dealers. The Exchange also believes the proposed rule 
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\14\ which 
requires that Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of 
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit 
Holders and other persons using its facilities.

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

    In adopting Regulation NMS, the Commission granted self-regulatory 
organizations (``SROs'') and broker dealers increased authority and 
flexibility to offer new and unique market data to consumers of such 
data. It was believed that this authority would expand the amount of 
data available to users and consumers of such data and also spur 
innovation and competition for the provision of market data. The 
Exchange believes that the proposed Complex Order Feeds are the sort of 
market data product that the Commission envisioned when it adopted 
Regulation NMS. The Commission concluded that Regulation NMS--by 
deregulating the market in proprietary data--would itself further the 
Act's goals of facilitating efficiency and competition:``[E]fficiency 
is promoted when broker-dealers who do not need the data beyond the 
prices, sizes, market center identifications of the NBBO and 
consolidated last sale information are not required to receive (and pay 
for) such data. The Commission also believes that efficiency is 
promoted when broker-dealers may choose to receive (and pay for) 
additional market data based on their own internal analysis of the need 
for such data.'' \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    By removing ``unnecessary regulatory restrictions'' on the ability 
of exchanges to sell their own data, Regulation NMS advanced the goals 
of the Act and the principles reflected in its legislative history. The 
Exchange's Complex Order Feeds provide investors with new options for 
receiving market data, which was a primary goal of the market data 
amendments adopted by Regulation NMS.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Regulation NMS Adopting Release, supra, at 37503.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Complex Order Feeds are designed for firms that are interested 
in gaining insight into the real time market data for the Complex Order 
Book. The Exchange believes that providing this optional data to 
interested market participants for a fee is consistent with 
facilitating transactions in securities, removing impediments to and 
perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market and a national 
market system, and, in general, protecting investors and the public 
interest because it provides additional information and insight to 
Exchange activity to market participants making routing decisions 
concerning their options order. Furthermore, the Complex Order Feeds 
would benefit investors by facilitating their prompt access to the 
value-added information in connection with the launch of Complex Orders 
on BZX.\17\ The Complex Order Feeds will also enable market 
participants to make informed decisions for trading on the Exchange's 
Complex Order Book by using the Exchange Complex Order Feeds to assess 
current market conditions that directly affect such decisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See SR-CboeBZX-2025-126.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed fees for the Complex Order Feeds 
are reasonable as the Exchange is offering any market participant 
access to subscribe to this report in the subscribing firm's sole 
discretion and based on their own unique business needs. The report is 
optional for market participants to subscribe to if they believe it to 
be helpful and it is not required for Options Members \18\ to purchase 
in order to access the Exchange. Additionally, a subscriber may cancel 
their usage of a Complex Order Feed at any time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ The term ``Options Member'' means a firm, or organization 
that is registered with the Exchange pursuant to Chapter XVII of 
these Rules for purposes of participating in options trading on BZX 
Options as an ``Options Order Entry Firm'' or ``Options Market-
Maker.'' See BZX Rule 16.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposed fees would not permit unfair 
discrimination because all of the Exchange's subscribers and market 
data vendors will be subject to the proposed fees on an equivalent 
basis. The Complex Order Feeds are distributed and purchased on a 
voluntary basis, in that neither the Exchange nor market data 
distributors are required by any rule or regulation to make this data 
available. Accordingly, Distributors and Users can discontinue use at 
any time and for any reason, including due to an assessment of the 
reasonableness of fees charged. Firms have a wide variety of 
alternative market data products from which to choose, such as similar 
proprietary data products offered by other exchanges and consolidated 
data. Moreover, the Exchange is not required to make any proprietary 
data products available or to offer any specific pricing alternatives 
to any customers.

Distribution Fees

    The Exchange believes that the Distribution Fees for the Complex 
Order Feeds are reasonable and fair in light of alternatives offered by 
other market centers. The Complex Order Feeds provides investors with 
alternative market data and competes with a similar market data product 
currently offered by PHLX. Specifically, PHLX charges a fee of $5,500 
per month for internal distribution, and $6,000 per month for external 
distribution, of its TOPO Plus Order feed (``TOPO Plus'').\19\ The 
Exchange notes that TOPO Plus provides subscribers with access to both 
simple and complex PHLX options order data,\20\ while subscribers to an 
Exchange Complex Order Feed product must separately purchase a Complex

[[Page 58347]]

Order Feed and BZX Options Top and/or BZX Options Depth. Importantly, 
however, the Exchange notes that the costs of doing so are still less 
than that charged by PHLX, for both internal and external distribution.

                                                          Internal                           External
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BZX product:
    BZX Options Top/BZX Options Depth      $3,000/month.........................  $2,000/month.
     (``Simple Book Feeds'').
    Complex Order Feed...................  $2,000/month.........................  $1,500/month.
                                          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        Total............................  $5,000/month.........................  $3,500/month.
PHLX Product:
    TOPO.................................  $5,500...............................  $6,000.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, an Exchange Internal Distributor who purchased both 
BZX Options Top and/or BZX Options Depth, as well a Complex Order Feed, 
would be assessed a total monthly fee of $5000 ($3,000 + $2,000), which 
is less than the monthly fee of $5,500 that an internal distributor 
would be assessed by PHLX for subscribing to TOPO. Notably, by 
purchasing any one of BZX Options Top or BZX Options Depth, the 
Internal Distributor would have access to both data feeds. Likewise, by 
purchasing any one of the Complex Order Feeds, the Internal Distributor 
would have access to any of the aforementioned Complex Order Feeds.
    Similarly, an External Distributor who purchased both BZX Options 
Top and/or BZX Options Depth, as well as a Complex Order Feed, would be 
assessed a total monthly fee of $3,500 ($2,000 + $1,500), which is less 
than the monthly fee $6,000 that an external distributor would be 
assessed by PHLX for subscribing to TOPO. Notably, by purchasing any 
one of BZX Options Top or BZX Options Depth, the Internal Distributor 
would have access to both data feeds. Likewise, by purchasing any one 
of the Complex Order Feeds, the Internal Distributor would have access 
to any of the aforementioned Complex Order Feeds.
    An Internal and External Distributor of BZX Options Top and/or BZX 
Options Depth, as well as a Complex Order Feed would be charged the 
greater of two fees for the Simple Book Feeds, and separately for the 
Complex Order Feed, for a total of $5,000 per month ($3,000 + $2,000). 
This fee is still less than the fees charged by PHLX for either 
internal distribution ($5,500 per month)) or external distributions 
($6,000 per month).

User Fees

    The Exchange believes its proposed Non-Professional and 
Professional User fees for its Complex Order Feeds are reasonable 
because they are comparable to similar fees assessed by the Exchange's 
competitors. For instance, Nasdaq Options Market charges $1.00 per non-
professional user, and $42.10 per professional user.\21\ Here, each of 
the proposed fees is either equal to or less than that charged by 
Nasdaq Options Market for their non-professional and professional 
users. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to also charge $1.00 per 
Non-Professional User, but only $20.00 per Professional User. 
Additionally, an Exchange User of any one of the Complex Order Feeds 
may have access to any or all of the other aforementioned Complex Order 
Feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Price List--U.S. Derivatives Data, available at: 
<a href="https://data.nasdaq.com/price-list#NasdaqOptionsMarketUserFees">https://data.nasdaq.com/price-list#NasdaqOptionsMarketUserFees</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further notes that its proposed Non-Professional and 
Professional User fees for its Complex Order Feeds are identical to 
those charged by MIAX Options for it Top of Market (``ToM'') and 
Complex Top of Market (``cToM'').\22\ Moreover, like MIAX, an Exchange 
User of any one of the Complex Order Feeds may have access to any or 
all of the other aforementioned Complex Order Feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See ``MIAX Options Fee Schedule,'' MIAX Top of Market 
(``ToM'') and Complex Top of Market (``cToM''), available at: 
<a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Options_Fee_Schedule_09122025.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Options_Fee_Schedule_09122025.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, Nasdaq MRX charges Professional Users $25.25 per 
month and Non-Professional Users $1.00 per month for the Nasdaq MRX Top 
of Market feed and the Nasdaq MRX Depth of Market Feed.\23\ Notably, 
the Exchange's proposed Professional User fees for its Complex Order 
Feeds are less than those charged by Nasdaq MRX. Specifically, for each 
Complex Order Feed the Exchange seeks to charge $1.00 per month for 
each Non-Professional User and $20.00 per month for each Professional 
User. The Exchange's proposed Professional User fee ($20.00/per user, 
per month) is lower than Nasdaq MRX's professional user fee ($25.25/per 
user, per month) and its Non-Professional User fee is equal to Nasdaq 
MRX's non-professional user fee. Additionally, an Exchange User of any 
one of the Complex Order Feeds may have access to any or all of the 
other aforementioned Complex Order Feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See Price List--U.S. Derivatives Data, available at: 
<a href="https://data.nasdaq.com/price-list#NasdaqMRXSubscriberFees">https://data.nasdaq.com/price-list#NasdaqMRXSubscriberFees</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Overall, each of the above examples of other exchanges' market data 
fees support the proposition that the Exchange's proposed User fees are 
comparable to those of other exchanges and therefore reasonable.

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. Rather, the Exchange 
believes that charging for access to its Complex Order Feeds will 
enhance competition by providing market participants with a new option 
for receiving market data. The Exchange's proposed fees for its Complex 
Order Feeds will also further enhance competition between exchanges as 
other exchanges also offer market data feeds for their own complex 
order books.\24\ Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule 
change does not impose any burden on intramarket competition that is 
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 
Market participants are not required to purchase any of the Complex 
Order Feeds. Rather, the Exchange is making these additional order 
feeds available, and firms may choose to receive (and pay for) this 
data based on their own business needs. Potential purchasers may 
request the data at any time if they believe it to be valuable or may 
decline to purchase such data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 85207 (February 27, 
2019), 84 FR 7963 (March 5, 2019) (SR-EMERALD-2019-09) (Notice of 
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change to 
Establish MIAX Emerald Top of Market Data Feed, MIAX Emerald Complex 
Top of Market Data Feed, MIAX Emerald Administrative Information 
Subscriber Data Feed, and MIAX Emerald Order Feed).

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

[[Page 58348]]

    In addition, the proposed fees are constrained by competition. The 
existence of alternatives to the Complex Order Feeds further ensures 
that the Exchange cannot set unreasonable fees, or fees that are 
unreasonably discriminatory, when vendors and subscribers can elect 
such alternatives. That is, the Exchange competes with other exchanges 
(and their affiliates) that provide similar market data products. If 
another exchange (or its affiliate) were to charge less to distribute 
its similar product than the Exchange charges to distribute its Complex 
Order Feeds, prospective Users likely would not subscribe to, or would 
cease subscribing to these market data products.

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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \25\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \26\ 
thereunder. 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.
