The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has received a proposed rule change from NYSE Arca, Inc. to revise their Options Fee Schedule. This change aims to introduce pricing incentives for trading options on digital asset Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) listed on NYSE Arca Equities, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF and others. The proposal includes offering additional discounts or credits per contract to encourage such trading, effective December 17, 2024. The Exchange believes that these changes will increase liquidity and benefit all market participants without imposing unnecessary competition burdens.
