    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has proposed a new rule to amend its fee schedule by introducing a monthly fee of $350 for each additional Market Participant Identifier (MPID) a member uses, while the first MPID remains free. This change aims to align fees with the benefits received by members using multiple MPIDs and is designed to promote efficient use of these identifiers. The proposal emphasizes competition among exchanges and states that many options are available for trading, meaning the fee is not overly burdensome. The Securities and Exchange Commission is soliciting public comments on this proposed rule change.
