SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-104468; File No. SR-BX-2025-034]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend SQF Port 
and SQF Purge Port Fees

December 19, 2025.
    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 16, 2025, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Specialized Quote Feed \3\ or 
``SQF'' Port and SQF Purge Port pricing at Options 7, Section 3, BX 
Options Market--Ports and other Services. The Exchange also proposes to 
remove outdated rule text at Options 7, Section 2, BX Options Market-
Fees and Rebates.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``Specialized Quote Feed'' or ``SQF'' is an interface that 
allows Market Makers to connect, send, and receive messages related 
to quotes, Immediate-or-Cancel Orders, and auction responses into 
and from the Exchange. Features include the following: (1) options 
symbol directory messages (e.g., underlying instruments); (2) system 
event messages (e.g., start of trading hours messages and start of 
opening); (3) trading action messages (e.g., halts and resumes); (4) 
execution messages; (5) quote messages; (6) Immediate-or-Cancel 
Order messages; (7) risk protection triggers and purge 
notifications; (8) opening imbalance messages; (9) auction 
notifications; and (10) auction responses. The SQF Purge Interface 
only receives and notifies of purge requests from the Market Maker. 
Market Makers may only enter interest into SQF in their assigned 
options series. Immediate-or-Cancel Orders entered into SQF are not 
subject to the Order Price Protection, Market Order Spread 
Protection, or Size Limitation Protection in Options 3, Section 
15(a)(1), (a)(2), and (b)(2) respectively. See Options 3, Section 
7(e)(1)(B).
    \4\ On December 8, 2025 the Exchange filed SR-BX-2025-030. On 
December 16, 2025 SR-BX-2025-030 was withdrawn and this rule change 
was filed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the changes proposed herein are effective upon filing, the 
Exchange has designated the amendments become operative on January 1, 
2026.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/bx/rulefilings">https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/bx/rulefilings</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
    BX proposes to amend its SQF Port and SQF Purge Port pricing at 
Options 7, Section 3, BX Options Market--Ports and other Services by 
offering an incentive to Market Makers \5\ to lower their SQF Port and 
SQF Purge Port Fees. The Exchange also proposes to remove outdated rule 
text at Options 7, Section 2, BX Options Market-Fees and Rebates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A ``Market Maker'' means a Streaming Quote Trader or a 
Remote Streaming Quote Trader who enters quotations for his own 
account electronically into the System. See Options 1, Section 
1(a)(28).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees
    Pursuant to a prior rule change,\6\ as of January 1, 2026, BX will 
assess an SQF Port Fee and SQF Purge Port Fee as follows: The first 5 
ports (1-5) would be assessed $1,620 per port, per month; the next 15 
ports (6-20) would be assessed $1,080 per port, per month; and all 
ports over 20 ports (21 and above) would be assessed $540 per port, per 
month. SR-BX-2025-016 amended its SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees to 
be identical to NOM's SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees. Today, NOM 
aggregates its SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees for purposes of the 
tier qualification. At this time, to make clear the manner in which BX 
will determine qualifications for the SQF Port and SQF Purge Port 
tiers, the Exchange proposes to note that, ``The SQF Port Fee and the 
SQF Purge Port Fee are aggregated for the below incremental tiers as 
follows.'' \7\ Additionally, the Exchange would relocate the tier 
qualifications to one table instead of two separate tables. The 
Exchange intends to calculate SQF Ports and SQF Purge Ports on January 
1, 2026, the effective date of SR-BX-2025-016, identical to NOM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 103888 (September 5, 
2025). 90 FR 43716 (September 10, 2025) (SR-BX-2025-016).
    \7\ NOM is proposing a similar sentence in its Pricing Schedule 
in a separate rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, at this time, the Exchange proposes to offer an 
opportunity to lower SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees. Specifically, 
the Exchange proposes to offer certain discounts to Market Makers that 
have transacted a certain percentage of Total National Volume in the 
prior month. For purposes of this proposal, the percentage of Total 
National Volume is calculated by taking the total Market Maker Penny 
Symbol and Market Maker Non-Penny Symbol volume (excluding index 
options) executed on the Exchange in the prior month and attributing a 
multiple of five times to that Non-Penny Symbol volume (numerator) and 
dividing that by Market Maker volume (``M'' capacity at The Options 
Clearing Corporation (``OCC'')) in multiply listed options across all 
options exchanges (denominator or Total National Volume).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                          Percentage SQF
                                 Percentage of total       port and SQF
            Tier                   national volume          purge port
                                                             discount
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1..........................  less than 0.10%...........               0%
2..........................  greater than or equal to                 10
                              0.10% and less than 0.25%.
3..........................  greater than or equal to                 30
                              0.25% and less than 0.40%.
4..........................  greater than or equal to                 50
                              0.40%.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


[[Page 60839]]

    With this proposal, a Market Maker that transacted less than 0.10% 
of Total National Volume in the prior month would not receive a 
discount on SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees. A Market Maker that 
transacted greater than or equal to 0.10% and less than 0.25% of Total 
National Volume in the prior month will be afforded a discount of 10% 
on their SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees. A Market Maker that 
transacted greater than or equal to 0.25% and less than 0.40% of Total 
National Volume in the prior month will be afforded a discount of 30% 
on their SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees. Finally, a Market Maker that 
transacted greater than or equal to 0.40% of Total National Volume in 
the prior month will be afforded a discount of 50% on their SQF Port 
and SQF Purge Port Fees. By way of example, a Market Maker that 
executed 3,000,000 in Penny Volume and 200,000 in Non-Penny Volume in a 
given month on the Exchange, where the Total National Volume was 
1,000,000,000, would qualify for a discount of 50% on their SQF Port 
and SQF Purge Port Fees ((200,000 x 5 = 1,000,000) + 3,000,000 = 
4,000,000 which is 0.40% of 1,000,000,000).
    The Exchange proposes to calculate Market Maker Non-Penny Symbol 
volume at five times the weight as compared to Market Maker Penny 
Symbol volume because Non-Penny Symbols tend to have lower volumes and 
this incentive should encourage a greater amount of volume in Non-Penny 
Symbols. Overall, the proposed discounts should encourage Market Makers 
to transact additional order flow on BX with which other market 
participants may interact, for an opportunity to lower SQF Port and SQF 
Purge Port Fees. The Exchange proposes to exclude index options as 
index options are generally not multiply listed.
Options 7, Section 2
    The Exchange proposes to remove note 4 of Options 7, Section 2 
which states,
    Participants that increase their executed Customer volume which 
removes liquidity in a given month by at least 70% above their 
September 2024 volume as measured by a percentage of TCV will receive a 
Taker Fee discount of $0.05 per contract in Penny Symbols excluding 
AAPL, SPY, QQQ, and IWM. Participants with no Customer volume in the 
remove liquidity segment for the month of September 2024 may qualify 
for the Taker Fee discount by having any new volume considered as added 
volume. This note 4 incentive will be available through April 30, 2025.
    The incentive located at note 4 of Options 7, Section 2 was 
available through April 30, 2025 and is now outdated.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections 
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it provides 
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges 
among members and issuers and other persons using any facility, and is 
not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, 
issuers, brokers, or dealers.

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

    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their 
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining 
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation 
NMS, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market 
model, 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.'' \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Likewise, in NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission 
\11\ (``NetCoalition'') the D.C. Circuit upheld the Commission's use of 
a market-based approach in evaluating the fairness of market data fees 
against a challenge claiming that Congress mandated a cost-based 
approach.\12\ As the court emphasized, the Commission ``intended in 
Regulation NMS that `market forces, rather than regulatory 
requirements' play a role in determining the market data . . . to be 
made available to investors and at what cost.'' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id. at 537.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, ``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow is 
`fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market 
system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that 
act as their order-routing agents, have a wide range of choices of 
where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to 
take its market share percentages for granted' because `no exchange 
possesses a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of 
order flow from broker dealers'. . . .'' \14\ Although the court and 
the SEC were discussing the cash equities markets, the Exchange 
believes that these views apply with equal force to the options 
markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Id. at 539 (quoting Securities Exchange Act Release No. 
59039 (December 2, 2008), 73 FR 74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) 
(SR-NYSEArca-2006-21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SQF Port and SQF Purge Port Fees
    The proposed fee discounts for SQF Ports and SQF Purge Ports are 
reasonable because they will attract a greater amount of order flow to 
BX with which other market participants may interact while also 
lowering costs for certain Market Makers that are able to transact 
greater than 0.10% of Total National Volume in the prior month. The 
Exchange believes it is reasonable to lower costs for certain Market 
Makers that transact greater than 0.10% of Total National Volume on BX 
because those Market Makers are affording other BX Participants an 
opportunity to interact with that order flow. The proposal provides an 
incremental incentive for Market Makers that transact at least 0.10% of 
Total National Volume, which provides a higher benefit for satisfying 
increasingly more stringent criteria. The Exchange believes that the 
value of the proposed discounts is commensurate with the difficulty to 
achieve the corresponding threshold. Additionally, the discounts may 
incentivize and attract more volume and liquidity to the Exchange, 
which will benefit all Exchange participants through increased 
opportunities to trade as well as enhancing price discovery. The 
Exchange's proposed discounts are substantially similar to Cboe 
Exchange, Inc.'s (``Cboe'') credit for their BOE Bulk Port Fees.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Cboe currently offers its market makers credits on their 
monthly BOE Bulk Port Fees. Specifically, if a Cboe market maker 
affiliate (``affiliate'' defined as having at least 75% common 
ownership between the two entities as reflected on each entity's 
Form BD, Schedule A) or Cboe Appointed OFP receives a credit under 
the Exchange's Volume Incentive Program (``VIP''), the Cboe market 
maker will receive an access credit on their BOE Bulk Ports 
corresponding to the VIP tier reached. The credit is based on the 
Performance Tier earned by a market maker under Cboe's Liquidity 
Provider Sliding Scale Adjustment Table. Tiers 4 and 5 earn a 40% 
credit on monthly Cboe Bulk Port Fees. Cboe assesses BOE Bulk 
Logical Ports a fee of $1,500 for 1 to 5 ports, a fee of $2,500 for 
6 to 30 ports and a fee of $3,000 for over 30 ports. Additionally, 
each BOE Bulk Logical Port will incur the logical port fee indicated 
when used to enter up to 30,000,000 orders per trading day per 
logical port as measured on average in a single month. Each 
incremental usage of up to 30,000,000 orders per day per BOE Bulk 
Logical Port will incur an additional logical port fee of $3,000 per 
month. Incremental usage will be determined on a monthly basis based 
on the average orders per day entered in a single month across all 
subscribed BOE Bulk Logical Ports.

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

[[Page 60840]]

    BX believes it is reasonable to offer fee discounts to those Market 
Makers that primarily provide and post liquidity to the Exchange, as it 
should encourage Market Makers to continue to participate on the 
Exchange and add liquidity. Greater liquidity benefits all market 
participants by providing more trading opportunities and tighter 
spreads. The proposal would also mitigate the costs incurred by Market 
Makers on BX.
    Calculating Market Maker Non-Penny Symbol volume at five times the 
weight as compared to Penny Symbol volume is reasonable, equitable and 
not unfairly discriminatory as Non-Penny Symbols tend to have lower 
volumes and this incentive should encourage a greater amount of volume 
in Market Maker Non-Penny Symbols.\16\ The Exchange proposes to 
calculate the Market Maker Non-Penny Symbol volume in an uniform manner 
for all Participants. The Exchange proposes to exclude index options as 
index options are generally not multiply listed. Index Options would be 
uniformly excluded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ Penny Symbols typically are more liquid symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A BX Market Maker requires only one SQF Port to submit quotes in 
its assigned options series into BX. A Market Maker may submit all 
quotes through one SQF Port. This is also the case for an SQF Purge 
Port. While a Market Maker may elect to obtain multiple SQF Ports and 
SQF Purge Ports to organize its business,\17\ only one SQF Port is 
necessary for a BX Market Maker to fulfill its regulatory quoting 
obligations.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ For example, a Market Maker may desire to utilize multiple 
SQF Ports for accounting purposes, to measure performance, for 
regulatory reasons or other determinations that are specific to that 
Participant.
    \18\ Market Makers have various regulatory requirements as 
provided for in Options 2, Section 4. Additionally, Market Makers 
have certain quoting requirements with respect to their assigned 
options series as provided in Options 2, Section 5. SQF is the only 
quoting protocol offered on BX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fee discounts for SQF Ports and SQF Purge Ports are 
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory as they would apply uniformly 
to each BX Market Maker. The Exchange would uniformly calculate the 
Market Maker's percentage each month. Although only Market Makers may 
receive the proposed discounts, the Exchange notes that Market Makers 
are valuable market participants that provide liquidity in the 
marketplace and incur costs that other market participants do not 
incur. Unlike other market participants, Market Makers are required to 
provide continuous two-sided quotes on a daily basis,\19\ and are 
subject to various obligations associated with providing liquidity.\20\ 
While the Exchange is not offering a discount to those Market Makers 
that transact less than 0.10% of Total National Volume, the Exchange 
notes that these Market Makers transact a much lower amount of 
contracts on BX as compared to other Market Makers who qualify for a 
discount. In some cases, these Market Makers are not executing the 
requisite amount of Penny Symbols or Non-Penny Symbols to obtain the 
discount. Market Makers are required to compete with other Market 
Makers and maintain active markets in all options in which the Market 
Maker is registered.\21\ The Exchange believes that all Market Makers 
are capable of quoting tighter or in a greater amount of options 
classes to obtain the requisite volume to achieve a discount.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Options 2, Section 5.
    \20\ See Options 2, Section 4.
    \21\ See Options 2, Section 4(a)(3) and (6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposal to note that, ``The SQF Port Fee and the 
SQF Purge Port Fee are aggregated for the below incremental tiers as 
follows'' and to relocate the tier qualifications to one table instead 
of two separate tables is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory as it will reflect that BX intends to calculate the SQF 
Port Fee and the SQF Purge Port Fees by aggregating them for purposes 
of the tier calculation. This reflects the intent of SR-BX-2025-016, 
which stated that the BX SQF Port Fee and the SQF Purge Port Fees would 
be identical to the NOM SQF Port Fee and the SQF Purge Port Fees.
Options 7, Section 2
    The Exchange's proposal to remove note 4 of Options 7, Section 2 is 
reasonable because the incentive was available through April 30, 2025 
and is now outdated. The Exchange's proposal to remove note 4 of 
Options 7, Section 2 is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory 
because no Participant would be eligible for this incentive.

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 not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
    In terms of intra-market competition, the proposed fee discounts 
for SQF Ports and SQF Purge Ports do not impose a burden on competition 
because they would apply uniformly to each Market Maker and the 
Exchange would uniformly calculate the Market Maker's percentage each 
month. Although only Market Makers may receive the proposed discounts, 
the Exchange notes that Market Makers are valuable market participants 
that provide liquidity in the marketplace and incur costs that other 
market participants do not incur. Unlike other market participants, 
Market Makers are required to provide continuous two-sided quotes on a 
daily basis,\22\ and are subject to various obligations associated with 
providing liquidity.\23\ Further, while the Exchange is not offering a 
discount to those Market Makers that transact less than 0.10% of Total 
National Volume, the Exchange notes that these Market Makers transact a 
much lower amount of contracts on BX as compared to other Market Makers 
that qualify for the discount and/or these Market Makers are not 
executing the requisite amount of Penny Symbols or Non-Penny Symbols to 
obtain the discount. The Exchange's proposal does not impose an undue 
burden on competition because Market Makers are required to compete 
with other Market Makers and maintain active markets in all options in 
which the Market Maker is registered.\24\ The Exchange believes that 
all Market Makers are capable of quoting tighter or in a greater amount 
of options classes to obtain the requisite volume to achieve a 
discount.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Options 2, Section 5.
    \23\ See Options 2, Section 4.
    \24\ See Options 2, Section 4(a)(3) and (6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposal to note that, ``The SQF Port Fee and the 
SQF Purge Port Fee are aggregated for the below incremental tiers as 
follows'' and to relocate the tier qualifications to one table instead 
of two separate tables does not impose an undue burden on competition 
as it will reflect that BX intends to calculate the SQF Port Fee and 
the SQF Purge Port Fees by aggregating them for purposes of the tier 
calculation. This reflects the intent of SR-BX-2025-016, which stated 
that the BX SQF Port Fee and the SQF Purge Port Fees would be identical 
to the NOM SQF Port Fee and the SQF Purge Port Fees.
    The Exchange's proposal to remove note 4 of Options 7, Section 2 
does not impose an undue burden on competition because no Participant 
would be eligible for this incentive.
    In terms of inter-market competition, the Exchange notes that it 
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants 
can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a 
particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities

[[Page 60841]]

available at other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment, 
the Exchange must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive 
with other options exchanges. In addition to the Exchange, market 
participants have alternative options exchanges that they may 
participate on and direct their order flow. In sum, if the changes 
proposed herein are unattractive to market participants, it is likely 
that the Exchange will lose market share as a result. Accordingly, the 
Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the 
ability of members or competing options exchanges to maintain their 
competitive standing in the financial markets.
