Previously, QMMs were challenged by an unexpected increase in sub-dollar trading, which affected their ability to qualify for rebates. The new proposal allows Nasdaq to calculate QMM eligibility for rebates both with and without sub-dollar trades, choosing the most favorable option for QMMs. Additionally, Nasdaq proposes to lower the criteria for earning certain transaction credits to encourage more members to add liquidity, aiming to improve market quality.
