The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disapproved a proposed rule change by BOX Exchange LLC to establish the Boston Security Token Exchange LLC as a facility for trading securities.

The SEC found that without these approved trading rules, BOX Exchange could not ensure the proposed exchange would operate in a manner consistent with the Exchange Act. Consequently, the proposed rule change did not meet the regulatory requirements set forth by the Exchange Act.

Additionally, users can manage how their orders are handled during this process, providing flexibility and protecting against unfair trades. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is allowing this proposed rule to become effective immediately to enhance market efficiency.
