The Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. has filed a notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission about changes it is proposing to the fees associated with its EDGX Top Feed data product. These changes include an increase in fees for internal distribution of the data from $500 to $750 per month and the introduction of a $4 monthly fee for each professional user accessing the data internally. The Exchange argues that these fees are competitive when compared to similar products by other exchanges and that this change aligns with their goal of providing valuable market data while operating in a competitive environment. The proposed rule change has taken effect and is open for public comments.
Simple Explanation
The Cboe EDGX Exchange wants to charge more money for a special kind of on-screen number information. Now, they want people in big offices to pay more each month and also want to charge anyone else who uses this new information.
