MIAX Pearl, LLC has submitted a proposed rule to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce a fee for market participants who wish to use a dedicated cross connection to access its testing systems environment. This environment lets members test new software and trading setups before they are applied to live trading. While the new fee for accessing via a cross connection would be set at $1,000 per month, users still have the option to access the testing environment using a free virtual private network (VPN) connection, offering a similar experience without the additional cost. The proposed fee establishes a uniform cost regardless of connection capacity and is considered to be in line with or cheaper than fees charged by other exchanges.

The aim is to provide a reliable environment for testing software and other system functionalities before live trading, with the proposal effective from December 1, 2024. The change is designed to be fair and consistent with industry standards, taking into account competition as 18 U.S. options exchanges compete for market share.
