    Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. proposed a rule change to increase the monthly fee for a 10-gigabit physical port from $7,500 to $8,500.

The exchange also highlighted its significant investments in upgrading its systems and accommodating new data centers as a reason for the fee increase, which they believe is reasonable given the inflation and enhancements in service quality.
