The Securities and Exchange Commission has received a proposed rule change from NYSE Arca, Inc. to amend its options fee schedule. The change aims to lower the cap on fees for certain options strategy executions from $1,000 to $200 for OTP Holders trading at least 25,000 monthly contract sides. This move is intended to motivate OTP Holders to increase their trading volume on the Exchange, which could enhance market depth, tighten bid-ask spreads, and improve price discovery. The Exchange believes this proposal encourages competition by making NYSE Arca a more attractive venue for strategy executions.

The NYSE American LLC has proposed a rule change that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 1, 2021, to amend its Options Fee Schedule. This amendment introduces a new credit system for Customer Electronic executions, aiming to incentivize ATP Holders by offering a $0.10 per contract credit if certain trading volume thresholds are met. The goal is to attract more trading activity, thereby enhancing market depth, price discovery, and competition while benefiting all market participants. The SEC is inviting public comments on this proposed rule change, which is effective upon filing but can be temporarily suspended by the Commission within 60 days if deemed necessary.
