(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that 
on January 2, 2026, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``Cboe 
Options'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``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.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``Cboe Options'') proposes 
to establish 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/options/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/">https://www.cboe.com/us/options/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 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 the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule to implement 
separate fees for its C1 Complex Order Book \3\ Data Feed (``C1 COB 
Data Feed''), and to amend its fee schedule to provide that subscribers 
to Cboe Options Top and/or Cboe Options Depth may request, at no 
additional charge, access to the Cboe Options Auction Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The terms ``Complex Order Book'' and ``COB'' mean the 
Exchange's electronic book of complex orders and used for all 
trading session. See Rule 5.33(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The C1 COB Data Feed is a real-time data feed that includes data 
regarding the Exchange's Complex Order Book and related complex order 
information. The C1 COB Data Feed contains the following information 
for all C1-traded complex order strategies (multi-leg strategies such 
as spread, straddles, and buy-writes): (i) Outstanding quotes and 
standing orders on each side of the market with aggregate size, (ii) 
last sale data, and (iii) totals of customer versus non-customer 
contracts.
    The proposed fees for the C1 COB Data Feed include the following, 
each of which are described in detail below: (i) Distributor \4\ fees 
for both Internal Distributors \5\ and External Distributors; \6\ (ii) 
User \7\ fees for both Professional Users \8\ and Non-Professional 
Users; \9\ and (iii) removal of the existing waiver for the 
Distribution Fee for the C1 COB Feed for Distributors of C1 Options 
Top/C1 Options Depth Feeds. For a mid-month subscription, the monthly 
fees shall be prorated based on the initial date of subscription.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A Distributor of an Exchange Market Data product is any 
entity that receives the Exchange Market Data product directly from 
the Exchange or indirectly through another entity and then 
distributes it internally or externally to a third party. See Cboe 
U.S. Options Fee Schedules, C2, ``Market Data, Definitions,'' 
available at: Cboe C2 Options Exchange Fee Schedule.
    \5\ 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. Id.
    \6\ 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. Id.
    \7\ A User of an Exchange Market Data product is a natural 
person, a proprietorship, corporation, partnership, or entity, or 
device (computer or other automated service), that is entitled to 
receive Exchange data. Id.
    \8\ A Professional User of an Exchange Market Data product is 
any User other than a Non-Professional User. Id.
    \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. Id.

[[Page 1571]]



------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internal Distribution Fee..............  $3,000/month.
External Distribution Fee..............  $1,500/month.
Professional User Fee..................  $25/month/Device or User ID.
Non-Professional User Fee..............  $1.00/month/per User.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will implement these proposed rule change beginning on 
January 2, 2026.
Distribution Fees
    The Exchange proposes charging Internal Distributors of the C2 COB 
Data Feed $3,000/month, and External Distributors of the COB Data Feed 
$1,500/month, to access and distribute the C1 COB Data Feed.\10\ 
Additionally, the Distributor fee will continue to apply for both 
Internal and/or External Distribution. A Distributor will be subject to 
the greater of the two Distribution fees when receiving the C1 COB Feed 
for both Internal and External Distribution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange notes that it is not proposing to change the 
Distribution or User fees for C1 Options Top, or C1 Options Depth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notably, the Distribution fee for the COB Data Feed will no longer 
be waived for Distributors of C1 Options Top and/or C1 Options Depth. 
Rather, as proposed, Distributors that subscribe to C1 Options Top and/
or C1 Options Depth, will now need to separately subscribe to and pay 
for the C1 COB Data Feed. To effect this change the Exchange proposes 
to amend its fee schedule to remove the following language from its fee 
schedule: ``The Distribution Fee for the Cboe Options Depth Feed is 
waived for Internal Distributors of Cboe Options Top Feed.''
User Fees
    Currently, the Exchange only assesses a Professional User fee. The 
Exchange now proposes to also establish Non-Professional User fee of 
$1.00/month per User. The Professional User Fee of $25/month/Device or 
User ID will remain as-is, and will continue to apply for both 
``internal'' Professional Users (Devices or User IDs of employees of a 
Distributor) and ``external'' Professional Users (Devices or user IDs 
of Professional Users who receive Data from a Distributor and are not 
employed by the Distributor).
    The Exchange also proposes to remove language from its fee schedule 
to establish Non-Professional User fees. Specifically, the Exchange 
will amend its fee schedule to remove language indicating that ``No 
User fee is assessed for Non-Professional Users.''
Cboe Options Auction Feed
    The Exchange also proposes to amend its fee schedule to provide 
that subscribers to Cboe Options Top and/or Cboe Options Depth may 
request, at no additional charge, access to the Cboe Options Auction 
Feed. Offering the Cboe Options Auction Feed as part of a subscription 
to the Exchange's Cboe Options Top and/or Cboe Options Depth Feeds is 
consistent with how other exchanges provide their options auction data. 
For instance, the Nasdaq ISE Order Feed notifies participants of, 
amongst other things, new orders resting on the ISE order book, as well 
as new auction orders in the market.\11\ Similarly, the Nasdaq MRX 
Order Feed includes options order by order data that rests on the 
Nasdaq MRX order book and auction messages.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Nasdaq ISE Options--Top of Book (Nasdaq ISE Top Quote 
Feed) available at: <a href="https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NITB">https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NITB</a>.

available at: <a href="https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NMO">https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NMO</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. Specifically, the Exchange 
believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 
6(b)(5) 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) 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, 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.
    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 by offering its C1 COB Data Feed for a fee, it 
is offering 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.''
    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 C1 COB Data Feed provides investors with new options for 
receiving market data, which was a primary goal of the market data 
amendments adopted by Regulation NMS.
    The C1 COB Data Feed is designed for firms that are interested in 
gaining insight into the real time market data for the Exchange's C1 
COB Data Feed. 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

[[Page 1572]]

information and insight to Exchange activity to market participants 
making routing decisions concerning their options order. The C1 COB 
Data Feed will also enable market participants to make informed 
decisions for trading on the Exchange's Complex Order Book by using the 
Exchange's C1 COB Data Feed to assess current market conditions that 
directly affect such decisions
    The Exchange believes the proposed fees are reasonable as the 
Exchange is offering any market participant access to subscribe to its 
C1 COBE Data Feed in the subscribing firm's sole discretion and based 
on their own unique business needs. The C1 COB Data Feed is optional 
for market participants to subscribe to if they believe it to be 
helpful and it is not required for Options Members to purchase in order 
to access the Exchange. Additionally, a subscriber may cancel their 
usage of the C1 COB Data Feed at any time.
    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 C1 COB Data Feed is 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.
    The Exchange also believes that its proposal to implement separate 
fees for its C1 COB Data Feed is reasonable in light of the similar 
pricing structures utilized by competitor exchanges. Specifically, as 
discussed further below, Nasdaq MRX, Nasdaq PHLX LLC, and MIAX Options 
all charge separate distribution and user fees for their comparable 
simple and complex data feeds.
Distribution Fees
    The Exchange believes that its proposed Distributor fees for its C1 
COB Data Feed are reasonable, equitably allocated, and not unreasonably 
discriminatory. Specifically, the fees for Options Members and non-
Options Members are uniform except for reasonable distinctions with 
respect to Internal Distribution and External Distribution ($3,000 per 
month versus $1,500 per month, respectively). While the Exchange 
proposes to eliminate the Distribution fee waiver for Distributors of 
C1 Options Top and/or C1 Options Depth, the Exchange believes that 
charging separate fees for its Complex Book is in-line with market 
practice. For instance, the Exchange notes that MIAX Options (``MIAX'') 
offers competing separate data feeds for its simple options book and 
its complex options book--MIAX Top of Market (``ToM'') \13\ and MIAX 
Complex Top of Market (``cTOM''),\14\ respectively.\15\ Notably, MIAX 
charges internal distributors $2,000/month and external distributors 
$3,000/month, to access and distribute cToM. While the Exchange's 
pricing convention differs from MIAX's--i.e., the Exchange's External 
Distribution Fees are higher than its Internal Distribution Fees, and 
MIAX's external distribution fees are greater than its internal 
distribution fees--the Exchange's Distribution fees for its C1 COB Data 
Feed are on the whole, less expensive than those assessed by MIAX for 
cTom. Namely, the Exchange's $1,500 External Distribution Fee is $500 
less than MIAX's internal distribution fee of $2,000.\16\ Accordingly, 
the Exchange believes are both fair and reasonable in light of these 
alternative products and fee structures offered by the competitor 
exchange, MIAX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ ToM is a data feed that provides MIAX distributors with a 
direct data feed that includes the MIAX's best bid and offer, with 
aggregate size, and last sale information, based on displayable 
order and quoting interest on the Exchange. See See MIAX Options 
Exchange, Top of Market Feed, ToM Interface Specification, available 
at: <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/page-files/Top_Of_Market_Feed_ToM_v2.5-2.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/page-files/Top_Of_Market_Feed_ToM_v2.5-2.pdf</a>.
    \14\ cTom is a real-time data feed provided by MIAX that 
delivers market-wide information on complex options strategies. See 
MIAX Options Exchange, Complex To of Market Feed, cTom Interface 
Specification, available at: <a href="https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/2022-05/Complex_Top_Of_Market_Feed_cToM_.3a_re.pdf">https://www.miaxglobal.com/sites/default/files/2022-05/Complex_Top_Of_Market_Feed_cToM_.3a_re.pdf</a>.
    \15\ 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>.
    \16\ The Exchange notes that it assesses External Distributors 
of its markets data a lesser fee than those assessed to Internal 
Distributors to help make its options market data available to a 
larger population of market participants. Indeed, a majority of the 
Exchange's external subscribers are extranet providers, who in turn 
pass data onto their end-clients. As such, the Exchange believes 
that assessing External Distributors a lesser fee (relative to 
Internal Distributors), its market data is available to a larger 
population of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

User Fees
    As noted above, the Exchange currently only charges a Professional 
User fee of $25/month/Device or User ID. At this time, the Exchange 
does not propose to amend this fee. However, the Exchange is now 
proposing to also establish Non-Professional User fee of $1.00/month 
per User. The Exchange believes this fee is fair and a reasonable as it 
is either inline or less than the use fees charged by competitor 
exchanges.
    Specifically, Nasdaq Options Market charges $1.00 per non-
professional user, and $42.10 per professional user.\17\ Here, the 
Exchange also proposes to charge $1.00 per Non-Professional User, but 
only $25.00 per Professional User. The Exchange also notes that its 
proposed Non-Professional User fee is identical to $1.00/month per non-
professional user charged by MIAX Options for it Top of Market 
(``ToM'') and Complex Top of Market (``cToM'') data feed.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 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>.
    \18\ Supra note 14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\19\ The 
Exchange proposes to charge less than Nasdaq MRX for Professional Users 
and the same as Nasdaq MRX for Non-Professional Users.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 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. 
Furthermore, as evidenced by competitor exchanges' fee schedules, the 
fee distinction between professional and non-professional users is a 
standard industry practice.
Cboe Options Auction Feed
    As noted above, offering the Cboe Options Auction Feed as part of a 
subscription to the Exchange's Cboe Options Top and/or Cboe Options 
Depth Feeds is consistent with how other exchanges provide their 
options auction data. For instance, the Nasdaq ISE Order Feed notifies 
participants of, amongst other things, new orders resting on the ISE 
order book, as well as new auction orders in the market.\20\ Similarly, 
the Nasdaq MRX Order Feed includes options order by order data that 
rests on

[[Page 1573]]

the Nasdaq MRX order book and auction messages.\21\

Feed) available at: <a href="https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NITB">https://data.nasdaq.com/databases/NITB</a>.

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

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 separate access to its C1 COB Data Feed is 
aligned with how other exchanges offer their comparable data products. 
In this regard, the proposed fees will enhance competition by providing 
market participants with a new option for receiving market data. The 
Exchange's proposed fees for C1 COB Data Feed will also further enhance 
competition between exchanges as other exchanges also offer market data 
feeds for their own complex order books. 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 the proposed Exchange's C1 COB Data Feed. Rather, 
the Exchange is making the C1 COB Data Feed available for a fee, 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.
    In addition, the proposed fees are constrained by competition. The 
existence of alternatives to the Exchange's C1 COB Data Feed 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 C1 COB 
Data Feed, prospective Users likely would not subscribe to, or would 
cease subscribing to this market data product.
    Similarly, the proposed amendments to the Exchange fee schedule 
regarding the Cboe Options Auction Feed does not impose any burden on 
intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in further of the purposes of the Act. As noted, both 
Nasdaq ISE and Nasdaq MRX provide their options auction data as part of 
their larger options data feed offerings. Furthermore, subscribers to 
either Cboe Options Top and/or Cboe Options Depth may request, at no 
additional charge, access to the Cboe Options Auction Feed. Moreover, 
such subscribers are not required to do so. Rather, the Exchange is 
making the Cboe Options Auction Feed available as part of a Cboe 
Options Top and/or Cboe Options Depth subscription, 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.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    A. significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest;
    B. impose any significant burden on competition; and
    C. 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 \22\ and 
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \23\ 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.
