The Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has proposed a change to its fee structure related to a new service involving Dedicated Cores. These Dedicated Cores allow firms to use the full processing power of a CPU core, offering benefits such as reduced latency and improved trading performance. The proposal includes different monthly fees based on the number of cores a firm uses, with up to two cores provided at no cost as an option for all users. This fee structure is designed to be fair, as higher fees are charged to those consuming more resources, and the service is entirely optional and not required for trading on the Exchange.

The Secretary of Homeland Security has extended a finding of a mass influx of aliens at the southern U.S. border, which originally went into effect in January 2025. This finding, which will last for 180 days, allows the federal government to request assistance from state and local governments to manage immigration law enforcement. The extension is due to concerns of potential increases in illegal entries, criminal activity, and overwhelming demands on law enforcement and immigration resources. This decision aims to maintain operational control over the border to ensure the safety and welfare of residents across all 50 states.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a final rule that requires its regulations to be reviewed periodically, with most regulations set to expire automatically every ten years unless reviewed. This is intended to ensure that regulations stay up-to-date and relevant. The final rule also includes processes for public comments and specifies the criteria for reviews, which include assessing whether the regulations significantly impact small entities, and if they are still necessary or need amendments. Certain regulations, such as those mandated by federal law and the annual Medicare payment update rules, are exempt from these reviews.

The Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend its fee schedule, specifically regarding the use of Dedicated Cores. Dedicated Cores offer users full CPU processing power, which can improve trading performance, and are available on a voluntary basis. The Exchange plans to charge progressively higher fees based on the number of Dedicated Cores a user purchases beyond the initial two, which are free. The proposal also increases the overall cap on the number of Dedicated Cores a member can have to better meet demand while maintaining fairness in allocation due to physical space constraints.
