Reading Time:about 85 minutes
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the application of MX2 LLC to become a national securities exchange. MX2 will operate similarly to the existing MEMX exchange but will not list new securities; instead, it will trade existing ones through unlisted trading privileges. The exchange will use automated systems with no physical trading floor and partner with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for regulatory functions. Several conditions accompany this approval, including joining specific national market system plans and forming regulatory agreements.
Simple Explanation
The SEC has decided that a company called MX2 can set up a place where people can buy and sell stocks, just like a big kid playing store with their toys. But instead of getting new toys, they're using what's already on the shelf, and other grown-ups will help make sure everyone plays fair.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering whether to approve or disapprove this proposed rule change and invites public comments to ensure it meets legal standards aimed at preventing fraud and ensuring fair trading. Proposed changes include establishing policies to ensure reliable and accurate quotation dissemination and fair access to quoting services, among other responsibilities for member inter-dealer quotation systems.

The people who help watch over stock trading are thinking about changing some old rules to make sure everyone plays fair when buying and selling certain types of stocks that don't get traded on big places like the New York Stock Exchange. They want to hear what others think about how these changes might make buying and selling stocks better or harder.
