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

    The Exchange proposes to introduce conforming changes to Nasdaq 
Texas rules in connection with the establishment of fees for Nasdaq 
TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus by the Nasdaq Stock 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 proposed rule change is to introduce conforming 
changes to Nasdaq Texas rules in connection with the establishment of 
fees for Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus by the Nasdaq 
Stock Exchange. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend fees at 
(i) Equity 7, Section 119 to waive the market data distributor fees for 
Nasdaq Texas TotalView for firms that consolidate it with certain other 
feeds for external redistribution; (ii) Equity 7, Section 123 to waive 
the fees for firms purchasing Nasdaq TotalView Plus; (iii) Equity 7, 
Section 139 to reflect the addition of Nasdaq Basic Plus as a product 
offering subject to a consolidation fee; and (iv) Equity 7, Section 147 
to clarify that firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq 
Basic Plus or both shall pay monthly administrative fees and data 
consolidation fees, each as described further below.
Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus Fees
    The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') recently introduced two 
new products, Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus,\4\ which

[[Page 58717]]

consolidate Depth-of-Book \5\ and Top-of-Book \6\ information currently 
disseminated by Nasdaq, the Exchange, and Nasdaq PHLX LLC equities 
(``Nasdaq PSX''). Nasdaq has submitted to the Commission a fee filing 
designed to set fees for Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus at 
or below fees currently charged for the Depth-of-Book and Top-of-Book 
products offered by Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq PSX. This, 
together with the networking and connectivity savings inherent in 
lowering the number of data feeds, is designed to maximize the 
distribution of consolidated data feeds to investors throughout the 23 
hour, 5 days per week schedule set to begin in December 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 105997 (July 28, 
2026), 91 FR 48466 (July 31, 2026) (SR-Nasdaq-2026-061) (a proposal 
to introduce Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus, two new 
data feeds which will offer consolidated Top-of-Book and Depth-of-
Book information currently disseminated by Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas and 
Nasdaq PSX).
    \5\ The underlying Depth-of-Book products are Nasdaq TotalView, 
Nasdaq Texas TotalView, and PSX TotalView.
    \6\ The underlying Top-of-Book products are Nasdaq Basic (which 
includes both best bid and offer and last sale information), Nasdaq 
Texas BBO, Nasdaq Texas Last Sale, PSX BBO, and PSX Last Sale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq will offer Nasdaq TotalView Plus for the same Professional 
and Non-Professional Subscriber and enterprise license fees as Nasdaq 
TotalView.\7\ To ensure that market data vendors will be able to offer 
competing consolidated data products, any firm that certifies to Nasdaq 
that it will consolidate Nasdaq TotalView, Nasdaq Texas TotalView and 
Nasdaq PSX TotalView into a data feed solely for external 
redistribution shall be exempt from Nasdaq Texas Market Data 
Distributor Fees \8\ and Nasdaq PSX Market Data Distributor Fees.\9\ 
This will ensure that vendors will be able to cover the cost of 
consolidating the underlying fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Internal and External Distributor, as well as Direct Access 
fees, may apply to purchasers of Nasdaq Plus products depending on 
the customer's use case. See Nasdaq Rules, Equity 7, Section 119(b).
    \8\ See Equity 7, Section 119(a).
    \9\ See Nasdaq PHLX Rules, Equity 7, Section 3 (Market Data 
Distributor Fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq will offer Nasdaq Basic Plus for the same Professional and 
Non-Professional Subscriber, enterprise license, and Distributor fees 
as Nasdaq Basic. To ensure that other market data vendors will be able 
to offer competing consolidated data products, Nasdaq proposes to 
charge the same monthly administrative and data consolidation fees for 
Nasdaq Basic Plus as are currently charged for Nasdaq Last Sale Plus to 
both Internal Distributors \10\ and External Distributors \11\ to cover 
the costs of data feed consolidation to be incurred by market data 
vendors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ ``Internal Distributors'' are Distributors that receive 
Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic Plus data and then distribute 
that data to one or more Subscribers within the Distributor's own 
entity.
    \11\ ``External Distributors'' are Distributors that receive 
Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic Plus data and then distribute 
that data to one or more Subscribers outside the Distributor's own 
entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the Market Data Enterprise License for Display 
Usage,\12\ which currently offers both Nasdaq TotalView and Nasdaq 
Basic in the same enterprise license, Nasdaq proposes to offer the 
Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus feeds for the same fees 
currently charged for the Nasdaq TotalView and Nasdaq Basic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, Equity 7, Section 132.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of the introduction of Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq 
Basic Plus and their related fees, the Exchange is proposing amendments 
to Equity 7, Sections 119, 123, 139, and 147 to make conforming changes 
to its fee schedule to align with the fees outlined in Nasdaq's Equity 
7, Sections 123, 132, 139, and 147 for these new products.
Market Data Distributor Fees
    The purpose of the first fee amendment is to issue a fee waiver for 
External Market Data Distributor Fees of $1,620 per month, in Equity 7, 
Section 119, for vendors that certify to Nasdaq that they will 
consolidate Nasdaq TotalView, Nasdaq Texas TotalView and Nasdaq PSX 
TotalView into a data feed solely for external redistribution. The same 
discount would not apply to non-vendors. Vendors would be able to apply 
this fee reduction to cover the cost of forming their own consolidated 
feed, thereby allowing vendors to compete with Nasdaq in the sale of 
consolidated data products using the depth of book data from Nasdaq 
affiliates.
Nasdaq Texas TotalView Fees
    The purpose of the second fee amendment is to issue a fee waiver 
for Nasdaq Texas TotalView fees in Equity 7, Section 123 to any firm 
that purchases Nasdaq TotalView Plus. Nasdaq Texas TotalView 
disseminates all individual Nasdaq Texas Equities System participant 
orders and quotes displayed in the system, the aggregate size of such 
orders and quotes at each price level, and the trade data for 
executions that occur within the Nasdaq Texas Equities System.\13\ This 
will be a fee waiver of (i) monthly Subscriber fees of $22.25 
(operative January 1, 2026), and $22.25 (operative January 1, 2026) for 
NYSE and regional issues for display usage or non-display usage not 
based upon Direct Access,\14\ and (ii) Non-Display Usage fees of $58.50 
(operative January 1, 2026) per month for each Professional 
Subscriber.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Equity 7, Section 123.
    \14\ See Equity 7, Section 123(a)(1).
    \15\ See Equity 7, Section 123(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is to ensure that Nasdaq can offer Nasdaq TotalView Plus for 
the same Subscriber fees as Nasdaq TotalView.
Administrative and Consolidation Fees
    The purpose of the third and fourth fee amendments is to clarify 
that firms that receive Nasdaq Basic Plus, in addition to or in lieu of 
Nasdaq Last Sale Plus, will also pay the monthly administrative fee 
applicable to Nasdaq Texas Last Sale and Nasdaq Texas BBO, and that 
distributors of Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic Plus will pay a 
data consolidation fee of $350 per month. Currently, firms that receive 
Nasdaq Last Sale Plus must pay the administrative and consolidation 
fees,\16\ and this amendment extends the same to purchasers of Nasdaq 
Basic Plus,\17\ as both Nasdaq Last Sale Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus 
contain the same Nasdaq Texas Last Sale and Nasdaq Texas BBO feeds. The 
Nasdaq Texas BBO Feeds consist of real-time market information from the 
Nasdaq Texas Market Center.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Equity 7, Section 139(b).
    \17\ Firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic 
Plus would either be liable for Nasdaq Last Sale fees or Nasdaq 
Basic fees, but not both.
    \18\ See Equity 7, Section 147. ``Nasdaq Texas BBO for Nasdaq'' 
contains the Nasdaq Texas's best bid and offer for Nasdaq-listed 
securities. ``Nasdaq Texas BBO for NYSE'' contains Nasdaq Texas's 
best bid and offer for NYSE-listed securities. ``Nasdaq Texas BBO 
for Amex'' contains Nasdaq Texas's best bid and offer for Amex-
listed securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This fee is designed to cover the data consolidation costs of 
market data vendors to ensure that they will be able to offer competing 
consolidated data products to the new Nasdaq Basic Plus product, which 
contains both NTX Last Sale and Nasdaq Texas BBO.
    As a conforming change, the Exchange proposes to modify both Equity 
7, Section 139(b)(1) and Equity 7, Section 147(b) to state that firms 
that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic Plus or both shall 
pay the monthly administrative fees for NTX Last Sale and Nasdaq Texas 
BBO, as well as a data consolidation fee of $350 per month.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\19\ in general, and furthers the objectives of 
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\20\ in particular, in that it

[[Page 58718]]

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 because the proposal: (i) 
offers more customer choice; (ii) protects competition by covering the 
data consolidation costs of market data vendors; (iii) does not 
increase the fee for any Nasdaq Texas product, but simply waives 
certain fees or applies consolidation costs to firms purchasing certain 
data feeds; (iv) conforms fees for Nasdaq Texas products to the recent 
Nasdaq filings related to the offer of Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq 
Basic Plus; and (v) offers products to all market participants on a 
non-discriminatory basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. More Customer Choice
    The proposal will expand choice by allowing customers to select 
whether to purchase best bid and offer information through the separate 
data feeds of Nasdaq Basic, Nasdaq Texas Last Sale, Nasdaq Texas BBO, 
and PSX Last Sale, and PSX BBO (or any combination thereof) separately 
or in a single feed. Purchasing Nasdaq Basic Plus or Nasdaq TotalView 
Plus will allow some customers to optimize consumption by ingesting 
information from multiple markets in a single connection, which may 
result in cost savings for subscribers based on a more efficient 
configuration of data feeds. Nothing in this proposal will change the 
quantity or quality of Depth-of-Book or Top-of-Book information 
available in the market, as the underlying feeds will remain available, 
and the proposed feeds are simply amalgamations of those underlying 
feeds.
2. No Competitive Advantage Relative to Market Data Vendors
    In offering Nasdaq Basic Plus and Nasdaq TotalView Plus, Nasdaq 
will be acting as a redistributor of Depth-of-Book \21\ and Top-of-Book 
\22\ products from Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq PSX.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ The underlying Depth-of-Book products are Nasdaq TotalView, 
Nasdaq Texas TotalView, and PSX TotalView.
    \22\ The underlying Top-of-Book products are Nasdaq Basic (which 
includes both best bid and offer and last sale information), Nasdaq 
Texas BBO, Nasdaq Texas Last Sale, PSX BBO, and PSX Last Sale.
    \23\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 105997 (July 28, 
2026), 91 FR 48466 (July 31, 2026) (SR-Nasdaq-2026-061); SR-NASDAQ-
2026-065.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq Basic Plus and Nasdaq TotalView Plus will be compiled from 
the same underlying feeds from Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq PSX 
that are distributed to the purchasers of those feeds. With respect to 
speed, the path for the distribution of the information by the Exchange 
will not be faster than the path for distribution that would be used by 
a market data vendor to distribute similar, independently created 
products.
    With respect to information, the same source of the market data to 
be used by the Exchange to create the two proposed products will also 
be available to any other market data vendor. The Nasdaq system that 
will create and support Nasdaq Basic Plus and Nasdaq TotalView Plus 
will access the underlying feeds from Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq 
PSX from the same point as any market data vendor.
    With respect to cost, Nasdaq will ensure that market data vendors 
are able to compete with the proposed fees by introducing a fee waiver 
for distributors of Nasdaq TotalView Plus and a consolidation fee for 
Nasdaq Basic Plus. These proposals will allow vendors to cover the 
costs of consolidation for Depth-of-Book and Top-of-Book feeds, 
respectively.\24\ The Exchange is filing this proposal to implement 
conforming changes for a Nasdaq Stock Exchange proposal filed 
separately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ There is no consolidation fee for Nasdaq TotalView because 
the waiver of distributor fees is sufficient to cover the costs of 
consolidation without any additional fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fee waiver for Nasdaq TotalView Plus will exempt any 
firm that certifies to Nasdaq that it will consolidate Nasdaq 
TotalView, Nasdaq Texas TotalView and Nasdaq PSX TotalView into a data 
feed solely for external redistribution from Nasdaq Texas Market Data 
Distributor Fees \25\ and Nasdaq PSX Market Data Distributor Fees.\26\ 
This substantial savings in distributor fees offered only to external 
distributors--$1,620 per month for Nasdaq Texas,\27\ and $1,390 per 
month for PSX TotalView,\28\--will allow vendors to cover the cost of 
consolidation of Depth-of-Book feeds and will ensure that market data 
vendors will be able to offer consolidated data products that compete 
with Nasdaq TotalView Plus.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Equity 7, Section 119.
    \26\ See Nasdaq PHLX Rules, Equity 7, Section 3.
    \27\ See Equity 7, Section 119(a).
    \28\ See Nasdaq PHLX Rules, Equity 7, Section 3 (Market Data 
Distributor Fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fees for Nasdaq Basic Plus include monthly 
administrative fees for Nasdaq Last Sale, NTX Last Sale, and PSX Last 
Sale and a data consolidation fee of $350 per month for Internal 
Distributors and External Distributors of Nasdaq Basic Plus.\29\ This 
is the current fee charged for Nasdaq Last Sale Plus to ensure that 
market data vendors will be able to offer competing feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ Firms that receive Nasdaq Last Sale Plus or Nasdaq Basic 
Plus would either be liable for Nasdaq Last Sale fees or Nasdaq 
Basic fees, but not both.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq introduced a consolidation fee for both Nasdaq Basic Plus 
and Nasdaq Last Sale Plus because Nasdaq Basic Plus includes last sale 
information. Nasdaq expects vendors to use the same processes and 
servers to consolidate both best bid and offer and last sale 
information, and therefore the same consolidation fee should be 
sufficient to cover all data consolidation costs, enabling vendors to 
compete in consolidating and distributing data from multiple exchanges. 
The Exchange is proposing to amend its rules to permit that 
competition.
3. No Fee Increases
    Nothing in the proposal involves an increase to the fees currently 
charged by Nasdaq Texas for its data feeds. Any subscriber to solely a 
Nasdaq Texas feed will continue to pay the same fees as are currently 
set, without any change. The subscriber fee waivers and consolidation 
fees proposed herein are to ensure that any purchaser of a compiled 
product, whether it is Nasdaq TotalView Plus, Nasdaq Basic Plus, or the 
feeds necessary to compile a competing product containing the same 
information as Nasdaq TotalView Plus and/or Nasdaq Basic Plus, is not 
at a cost disadvantage compared to other purchasers of the same 
information.
    The proposed data consolidation fee for Nasdaq Basic Plus is 
exactly the same fee as currently charged for Nasdaq Last Sale Plus, 
and customers of Nasdaq Last Sale Plus would pay no additional 
consolidation fee for Nasdaq Basic Plus. These consolidation and 
administrative fees are not new, but are simply being expanded to 
Nasdaq's new product, and do not increase the fees charged to 
purchasers of Nasdaq Texas data.
    Rather, the proposed fee waiver of Nasdaq Texas TotalView fees for 
vendors of Nasdaq TotalView Plus lowers fees below current fees.
    The proposed waiver of all subscriber fees, including both 
Professional and Non-Professional fees, Non-Display Usage fees, and 
enterprise license fees for Nasdaq Texas data for Nasdaq TotalView Plus 
will actually lower fees further, as purchasers of Nasdaq TotalView 
Plus will be charged the same fees as currently charged for Nasdaq 
TotalView alone. The proposed

[[Page 58719]]

Nasdaq TotalView Plus fees therefore offer customers a discount below 
current fees.
4. Conforming Amendments
    The proposal conforms fees for Nasdaq Texas products to the recent 
Nasdaq filings related to the offer of Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq 
Basic Plus.\30\ In order for Nasdaq's proposed fees to be 
effective,\31\ Nasdaq Texas must update its rules to ensure that they 
do not conflict with Nasdaq's. The proposed amendments to Equity 7, 
Sections 119, 123, 139, and 147 are conforming changes made to align 
the Exchange's rules to Nasdaq's.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 105997 (July 28, 
2026), 91 FR 48466 (July 31, 2026) (SR-Nasdaq-2026-061); SR-NASDAQ-
2026-065.
    \31\ SR-NASDAQ-2026-065.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. No Unfair Discrimination
    The proposal is not designed to permit unfair discrimination 
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers because the proposed 
feeds are optional data fees available to all market participants on a 
non-discriminatory basis.
    In summary, the proposal 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 because 
the proposal: (i) offers more customer choice; (ii) protects 
competition by covering the data consolidation costs of market data 
vendors; (iii) does not increase the fee for any Nasdaq Texas product, 
but simply waives certain fees or applies consolidation costs to firms 
purchasing certain data feeds; (iv) conforms fees for Nasdaq Texas 
products to the recent Nasdaq filings related to the offer of Nasdaq 
TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic Plus; and (v) offers products 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 
exchanges to compete. The proposal merely implements fee waivers for 
certain purchasers and consolidation and administrative fees for 
others, which any other exchange could propose.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens intra-market competition (the 
competition among consumers of exchange data), because the products 
related to the fee changes--Nasdaq TotalView Plus and Nasdaq Basic 
Plus--will be offered to all market participants at the same price and 
any market participant that elects to purchase either Nasdaq TotalView 
Plus or Nasdaq Basic Plus may do so on a non-discriminatory basis.
    Moreover, as explained above, the proposed fees offer no 
competitive advantage relative to market data vendors, and are in fact 
designed to promote competition. There is no change to (or advantage 
in) speed or information. With respect to cost, the Exchange proposes 
to ensure that market data vendors are able to compete with the 
proposed fees by introducing a fee waiver for Nasdaq TotalView Plus 
that is exclusively available to market data vendors and a 
consolidation fee for Nasdaq Basic Plus. These Nasdaq feeds are 
completely voluntary products in that Nasdaq is not required by any 
rule or regulation to make this data available and potential 
subscribers may purchase it only if they voluntarily choose to do so. 
Information is compiled from underlying feeds from Nasdaq, Nasdaq 
Texas, and Nasdaq PSX, which will remain available for purchase.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\32\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i) 
necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the 
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 
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule 
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
