SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-104577; File No. SR-Phlx-2025-78]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Adopt Fees for 
Two Newly Established Feeds, the Trades Feed and the Spread Feed

January 12, 2026.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

[[Page 1841]]

(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that 
on December 30, 2025, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' 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 adopt fees for two newly established 
feeds, the Trades Feed and the Spread Feed.
    The text of the proposed rule change is detailed below; proposed 
new language is italicized and proposed deletions are in brackets 
[sic].
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rulefilings">https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/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
    The purpose of the proposal is to adopt fees for two data feeds, 
the Trades Feed and the Spread Feed. While these amendments are 
effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated the proposed 
amendments to be operative on January 1, 2026.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This proposal was initially filed as SR-Phlx-2025-62. On 
December 5, 2025, that filing was withdrawn and replaced with SR-
Phlx-2025-67. On December 30, 2025, SR-Phlx-2025-67 was withdrawn 
and replaced with the instant filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Trades Feed and the Spread Feed are recently established data 
feeds for the Phlx exchange.\4\ These two new feeds, together with 
changes to three existing feeds--the Nasdaq Phlx Top of Market Feed, 
the Nasdaq Phlx Order Feed, and the Nasdaq Phlx Depth of Market Feed--
are designed to harmonize the market data feed structure of the Phlx 
exchange with those of its affiliates ISE and MRX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104049 (September 
25, 2025), 90 FR 47096 (September 30, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-53) 
(proposal to amend certain market data feed descriptions and fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq believes that this harmonization will allow customers to 
ingest data more efficiently and to tailor their purchase to only the 
data they need.
    Ingestion of data will become more efficient because customers will 
be able to transition from multiple exchange formats to a single format 
for all Nasdaq exchanges, resulting in more efficient ingestion of data 
and possible cost savings. This is a change from current practice, in 
which each exchange offers its own unique set of market data feeds, 
requiring subscribers to separately program their systems to ingest 
information from each market. The new format also allows customers to 
configure hardware to balance system loads more efficiently.
    The new feed structure will also allow customers to tailor their 
purchase to only the data they need. A customer that only needs last 
sale information, for example, would be able to purchase the Trades 
Feed as a standalone feed without being required to also purchase a 
best bid and offer feed. This is more efficient and cost effective than 
requiring customers to purchase a bundled feed with multiple types of 
information, possibly including information that the customer neither 
wants nor needs.
    The new Phlx format is the same as that used for the ISE and MRX 
exchanges. Nasdaq is planning to submit future proposals to conform the 
BX Exchange and the Nasdaq Options Market to this format.
Trades Feed
    Nasdaq Phlx Trades Feed (``Trades Feed'') displays last trade 
information. The data provided for each option series includes the 
symbols (series and underlying security), put or call indicator, 
expiration date, the strike price of the series, whether the option 
series is available for trading on Phlx, and identifies whether the 
series is available for closing transactions only. Prior to the 
harmonization of market data feeds across the Phlx, ISE, GEMX and MRX 
markets, last sale information had been offered in the Nasdaq Phlx Top 
of Market (``TOPO'') data feed.
    The Exchange currently offers the Trades Feed for no additional 
cost with the purchase of TOPO.
    The Exchange proposes to establish a fee for the Trades Feed of 
$1,000 per month for unlimited internal and/or external distribution. 
This will allow the customer to choose whether or not to purchase last 
sale information on a standalone basis or together with TOPO.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Nasdaq noted in its product filing for the Trades Feed that 
it intended to propose a separate fee for the Trades Feed at a later 
date. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104049 (September 25, 
2025), 90 FR 47096 (September 30, 2025) (SR-Phlx-2025-53).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spread Feed
    Nasdaq Phlx Spread Feed (``Spread Feed'') provides information on 
complex orders. It consists of: (1) options orders for all Complex 
Orders (i.e., spreads, buy-writes, delta neutral strategies, etc.); (2) 
full Complex Order depth information, including prices, side, size, 
capacity, Attributable Complex Order tags when provided by a member or 
member organization, and order attributes (e.g., OCC account number, 
give-up information, CMTA information), for individual Complex Orders 
on the Exchange book; (3) last trades information; and (4) a 
calculation of Phlx's complex best bid and offer position, with 
aggregated size (including total size in aggregate, for Professional 
Order size in the aggregate and Public Customer Order size in the 
aggregate), based on displayable Complex Order interest in the System. 
The feed also provides Complex Order auction notifications.
    While some of the information on the Spread Feed was included in 
the Order Feed prior to harmonization, the new Spread Feed also 
includes additional information not previously distributed by the 
Exchange. The old Order Feed had provided some information on complex 
orders (option order comprising of one or more legs), such as order 
messages, updates on resting orders, and auction notification messages. 
The new Spread Feed includes this information, but also significantly 
enhances customer insight into complex orders by associating top of 
market, order, depth of market and trade information with a unique 
strategy identification number that will allow customers to identify 
different stages of a trade as elements of a single complex order, 
providing market participants with much greater transparency into 
complex order activity. Such information is already an integral part of

[[Page 1842]]

the feeds available on the MRX and ISE exchanges.
    The Exchange currently offers the Spread Feed for no additional 
cost with the purchase of the Order Feed.
    The Exchange proposes to charge $3,100 per month per distributor 
for unlimited internal and/or external distribution of the Phlx Spread 
Feed.\6\ This fee will allow the customer to choose whether or not to 
purchase the complex order information available on the Spread Feed 
together with the simple order information on the Order Feed or as a 
standalone feed.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ``A `distributor' of Exchange data is any entity that 
receives a feed or data file of Exchange data directly from the 
Exchange or indirectly through another entity and then distributes 
it either internally (within that entity) or externally (outside 
that entity). All distributors shall execute an Exchange distributor 
agreement. The Exchange itself is a vendor of its data feed(s) and 
has executed an Exchange distributor agreement and pays the 
distributor charge.'' Equity 7, Section 3.
    \7\ Nasdaq noted in its product filing for the Spread Feed that 
it intended to propose a separate fee for the Spread Feed at a later 
date. See Supra n.4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. This belief is based on the fact that the 
proposal will enhance our market data products while at the same time 
maintaining fees that are comparable to those charged by similarly 
situated options exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The experience of other exchanges show that many customers will 
take advantage of the ability to purchase the TOPO feed and the Trades 
Feed separately. Our experience with the ISE Exchange--which already 
offers a trades feed that is distinct from its top of book feed--shows 
that nearly a third of customers take either take the top of market 
feed only (approximately 17%) or the trades feed only (about 14%), 
while the remaining customers take both. We expect the same pattern to 
hold true for Phlx--about a third of customers will take one feed or 
the other, ingesting less data than would be required for a combined 
feed, and the remaining customers to take both feeds.
    We also expect customers to take advantage of the opportunity to 
purchase the Order Feed and the Spread feed separately, rather than 
bundled as part of a single product. The ISE exchange currently offers 
an Order Feed and a Spread Feed configured in a similar manner. Our 
experience with the ISE Exchange shows that approximately 45% of 
customers take either the Spread Feed only (approximately 39%) or the 
Order Feed only (about 7%), while the remaining customers take both. We 
expect the same pattern to hold true for Phlx--somewhat less than half 
the customers will take one feed or the other, while the remaining 
customers will take both.
Comparability Analysis
Calculation of Market Share
    For the comparability analysis, the Exchange assessed market share 
\10\ for each of the eighteen options markets based on total options 
contracts traded in 2025 through October 20, 2025, as set forth in the 
graph below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Market share is the percentage of volume on a particular 
exchange relative to the total volume across all exchanges and 
indicates the amount of order flow directed to that exchange. High 
levels of market share enhance the value of trading and ports. Total 
contracts include both multi-list options and proprietary options 
products. Proprietary options products are products with 
intellectual property rights that are not multi-listed. Phlx lists 
proprietary products.

Trades Feed
    The data feed formats used by Phlx, ISE, and MRX, composed of five 
different feeds--TOPO, the Order Feed, the Depth of Market Feed, the 
Trades Feed, and the Spread Feed--are unique to the Nasdaq options 
exchanges. Because no exchange unaffiliated with Nasdaq offers a Trades 
Feed, a direct comparison of trades feeds with exchanges not affiliated 
with Nasdaq is not possible.
    Comparing the proposed Trades Feed fees to those of the Nasdaq 
affiliates offering this feed shows that the proposed fees are 
comparable to, or less than, the fees charged by the Nasdaq affiliates 
for that product, based on market share.

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

    ISE: The proposed fees for the Phlx Trades Feed of $1,000 per month 
for internal and external distribution are less than the current ISE 
fees of $1,040 per month for internal and external distribution.\11\ 
The difference is even larger relative to market share, as Phlx has a 
market share of 9.7% as compared to ISE's market share of 6.8%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ ISE Rulebook, Options 7, Section 10(J) (Nasdaq ISE Trade 
Feed). These are fees for 2025. As noted above, fees for the ISE 
Trade Feed are scheduled to be adjusted in 2026 and 2027 to account 
for the impact of past inflation. The proposed Phlx fees will not be 
adjusted for past inflation, which would not be applicable to new 
fees proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MRX: The proposed fees for the Phlx Trades Feed of $1,000 per month 
for internal and external distribution are less than the combined MRX 
fees of $757 per month for internal distribution and $1,010 per month 
for external distribution, and also less than the MRX fee of $1,010 for 
external distribution.\12\ While MRX charges less than the proposed 
Phlx fee for internal distribution, fees are nevertheless comparable 
relative to market share because Phlx has a market share of 9.7% as 
compared to 3.2% for MRX).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ MRX Rulebook, Options 7, Distributor Fees, Section 7(4) 
(Trades Feed). These are fees for 2025. Fees for the MRX Trade Feed 
are scheduled to be adjusted in 2026 and 2027 to account for the 
impact of past inflation. The proposed Phlx fees will not be 
adjusted for past inflation, which would not be applicable to the 
new fees proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    GEMX: The proposed fees for the Trades Feed are comparable to those 
charged by GEMX based on relative market share. While the proposed Phlx 
fees of $1,000 per month for internal

[[Page 1844]]

and external distribution are greater than GEMX's fees of $520 per 
month for internal and external distribution,\13\ fees are nevertheless 
comparable relative to market share because Phlx has a market share 
(9.7% as compared to 3.8% for GEMX).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ GEMX Rulebook, Options 7, Section 7(H) (Nasdaq GEMX Trade 
Feed). These are fees for 2025. Fees for the GEMX Trade Feed are 
scheduled to be adjusted in 2026 and 2027 to account for the impact 
of past inflation. The proposed Phlx fees will not be adjusted for 
past inflation, which would not be applicable to the new fees 
proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although, as noted above, the proposed fees for the Trades Feed 
cannot be directly compared with those of exchanges not affiliated with 
Phlx because non-affiliated exchanges do not offer the same feed 
structure (such as a separate Trades Feed), a detailed analysis of Cboe 
exchange fees shows that the proposed fees are comparable to those 
charged by Cboe, an exchange with similar market share. (Cboe has a 
market share of 10.5% as compared to Phlx's market share of 9.7%.). As 
demonstrated below, the proposed Phlx fees for TOPO Internal and 
External Distribution, the Trades Feed and the Spread Feed are less 
than those charged by Cboe for the same type of information, contained 
in Cboe Options Top and Complex Order Book.
Internal Distribution
    We begin with a comparison of the proposed Phlx fees for internal 
distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex order book 
information with those fees currently charged by Cboe.
    Cboe charges an internal distributor fee of $9,000 per month for 
Cboe Options Top, which includes both best bid and offer and last sale 
information.\14\ This fee includes Complex Order Book information, as 
Cboe waives a separate fee of $3,000 per month for customers that 
purchase Cboe Options Top for internal distribution.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Cboe Exchange, Inc., Fee Schedule--December 12, 2025, 
available at <a href="https://cdn.cboe.com/resources/membership/Cboe_FeeSchedule.pdf?_gl=1*dz37n1*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjQ3MzQyNDEuMTc1NjMwOTYwMQ..*_ga_5Q99WB9X71*czE3NTYzMDk2MDEkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTYzMDk2MDEkajYwJGwwJGgxNTA1Mzc5MjIy">https://cdn.cboe.com/resources/membership/Cboe_FeeSchedule.pdf?_gl=1*dz37n1*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjQ3MzQyNDEuMTc1NjMwOTYwMQ..*_ga_5Q99WB9X71*czE3NTYzMDk2MDEkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTYzMDk2MDEkajYwJGwwJGgxNTA1Mzc5MjIy</a>.
    \15\ See id. (``Distribution Fee [for Cboe Options Complex Order 
Book] applies for Internal and External distribution. The 
Distribution Fee for Cboe Options COB Feed is waived for Internal 
Distributors of Cboe Options Top Feed and/or Distributors (Internal 
or External) of Cboe Options Depth Feed.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx proposes to charge $6,600 per month for internal distribution 
of the same information. This fee is composed of $2,500 for internal 
distribution of Top of PHLX Options,\16\ $1,000 for unlimited internal 
and/or external distribution of the Trades Feed, and $3,100 for 
unlimited internal and/or external distribution of the Spread Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Phlx Rulebook, Options 7, Section 10 (Top of PHLX 
Options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Phlx fees of $6,600 per month for internal 
distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex order book 
information are less than the $9,000 per month charged by Cboe, an 
exchange with comparable market share, for the same information.
External Distribution
    We next compare the proposed Phlx fees for external (as opposed to 
internal) distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex order 
book information with those fees currently charged by Cboe.
    Cboe charges an external distribution fee of $5,000 for Cboe 
Options Top, but the waiver of the $3,000 per month fee for the Cboe 
Options Complex Order Book applies only to internal, and not external, 
distribution of the Top Feed.\17\ As such, Cboe charges $8,000 per 
month for external distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex 
order book information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See id. (``Distribution Fee [for Cboe Options Complex Order 
Book] applies for Internal and External distribution. The 
Distribution Fee for Cboe Options COB Feed is waived for Internal 
Distributors of Cboe Options Top Feed and/or Distributors (Internal 
or External) of Cboe Options Depth Feed.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx proposes to charge only $7,100 per month for external 
distribution of the same information. This fee is comprised of an 
external distributor fee of $3,000 per month, a Trades Feed fee of 
$1,000 per month for unlimited internal and/or external distribution, 
and a Spread Feed fee of $3,100 per month for unlimited internal and/or 
external distribution.
    The proposed Phlx fees of $7,100 per month for external 
distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex order book 
information are less than the $8,000 per month charged by Cboe, an 
exchange with comparable market share, for the same information.
Internal and External Distribution
    We lastly compare the proposed Phlx fees for both internal and 
external distribution (rather than fees for internal-only or external-
only distribution) for top of book, last sale, and complex order book 
information with those fees currently charged by Cboe.
    Cboe charges an internal distribution fee of $9,000 per month and 
an external distribution fee of $5,000 per month for Cboe Options Top. 
The $3,000 per month fee for the Cboe Options Complex Order Book would 
be waived due to internal distribution of the top feed. As such, total 
Cboe fees for internal and external distribution of top of book and the 
order book would be $14,000 per month.
    Phlx proposes to charge only $9,600 per month for internal and 
external distribution of the same information. This includes an 
internal distribution fee of $2,500, an external distribution fee of 
$3,000,\18\ a Trades Feed fee of $1,000 for unlimited internal and/or 
external distribution, and a Spread Feed fee of $3,100 for unlimited 
internal and/or external distribution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Phlx Rulebook, Options 7, Section 10 (Top of PHLX 
Options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Phlx fees of $9,600 per month for internal and 
external distribution of top of book, last sale, and complex order book 
information are less than the $14,000 per month charged by Cboe, an 
exchange with comparable market share, for the same information.
    As such, the proposed Phlx fees for internal-only, external-only, 
and both internal and external distribution of top of book, last sale, 
and complex order book information are all less than those charged by 
Cboe, an exchange of similar market share. This demonstrates that the 
proposed fees are also comparable to the fees charged by exchanges not 
affiliated with Phlx.
Spread Feed
    The proposed fees for the Spread Feed are comparable to, or less 
than, the fees charged by Nasdaq affiliates ISE and MRX based on market 
share. No exchange unaffiliated with Nasdaq offers a Spread Feed, and 
neither does GEMX, and therefore no comparison with other exchanges is 
possible.

[[Page 1845]]

    ISE: The proposed fees for the Phlx Trades Feed of $3,100/month 
internal and/or external distribution are the same as current ISE 
fees.\19\ Given that Phlx has a market share nearly 50 percent higher 
than that of ISE (9.7% for Phlx as compared to 6.8% for ISE), the 
proposed fees are lower than ISE fees relative to market share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ ISE Rulebook, Options 7, Section 10(I) (Nasdaq ISE Spread 
Feed). These are fees for 2025. As noted above, fees for the ISE 
Trade Feed are scheduled to be adjusted in 2026 and 2027 to account 
for the impact of past inflation. The proposed Phlx fees will not be 
adjusted for past inflation, which would not be applicable to new 
fees proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MRX: The proposed fees for the Phlx Trades Feed of $3,100/month 
internal and/or external distribution are greater than the current MRX 
fees of $1,010 for internal distribution and $1,515 for external 
distribution ($2,525 for internal and external distribution).\20\ 
However, Phlx has a market share nearly four times greater than that of 
MRX (9.7% for Phlx relative to 3.2% for MRX), much greater than the fee 
differential for the Trades Feed, and therefore the proposed fees are 
comparable to those of MRX relative to market share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ MRX Rulebook, Options 7, Distributor Fees, Section 7(5) 
(Spread Feed). These are fees for 2025. Fees for the MRX Trade Feed 
are scheduled to be adjusted in 2026 and 2027 to account for the 
impact of past inflation. The proposed Phlx fees will not be 
adjusted for past inflation, which would not be applicable to the 
new fees proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Unfair Discrimination
    The Proposal is not unfairly discriminatory. The proposed feeds are 
optional data fees available to all market participants on a non-
discriminatory basis.

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.
    Nothing in the proposal burdens inter-market competition (the 
competition among self-regulatory organizations) because approval of 
the proposal does not impose any burden on the ability of other options 
exchanges to compete. The proposed fees for the Spread Feed and the 
Trades Feed are comparable to, and in some cases less than, those of 
the other exchanges that offer them relative to market share, as 
discussed above.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens intra-market competition (the 
competition among consumers of exchange data), because the Spread Feed 
and the Trades Feed are available to any market participant at the same 
price and any market participant that elects to purchase either the 
Spread Feed or the Trades Feed may do so on a non-discriminatory basis.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the 
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
