BX, Inc.; Order Granting Approval of a 

Proposed Rule Change To Utilize the 

FIX Protocol To Submit Orders to BX’s 

Price Improvement Auction 

Mechanism 

February 12, 2021. 

I. Introduction 

On October 27, 2020, Nasdaq BX, Inc. 

(‘‘BX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

utilize the ‘‘Financial Information 

eXchange’’ (‘‘FIX’’) 3 protocol for BX 

Participants 4 seeking to submit orders 

into the Price Improvement Auction 

(‘‘PRISM’’) mechanism. The proposed 

rule change was published for comment 

in the Federal Register on November 16, 

2020.5 On December 29, 2020, the 

Commission extended the time period 

within which to approve, disapprove, or 

institute proceedings to determine 

whether to approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule changes.6 The 

Commission received no comments on 

the proposed rule change. The 

Commission is approving the proposed 

rule change. 

II. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change 

Pursuant to BX Options 3, Section 13, 

a BX Participant may electronically 

submit for execution an order it 

represents as agent on behalf of a Public 

Customer,7 broker dealer, or any other 

entity (‘‘PRISM Order’’) against 

principal interest or against any other 

order 8 it represents as agent (an 

‘‘Initiating Order’’), provided it submits 

the PRISM Order for electronic 

execution into the Auction. According 

to the Exchange, BX Participants 

currently solicit contra-side Initiating 

Orders to pair with their PRISM Orders 

using methods such as telephone, 

electronically using an external order 

management system, or utilizing instant 

message.9 BX proposes to provide BX 

Participants (‘‘sender’’) the option to use 

the FIX protocol to send a message, 

which includes a PRISM Order, to one 

or more BX Participants (‘‘recipient’’) 

requesting that they provide a contraside Initiating Order in response, which 

would result in the start of a PRISM 

auction (‘‘Request for PRISM’’). BX 

Participants must opt-in in order to 

receive Requests for PRISM. A Request 

for PRISM would be sent 

simultaneously to all BX Participants 

who opted in to receive Requests for 

PRISM,10 and a BX Participant who 

opts-in would receive all Requests for 

PRISM from all senders.11

The Exchange proposes to establish a 

certain time period up to one second 12

within which a recipient, if it chooses 

to respond to the Request for PRISM, 

may utilize FIX to submit the sender’s 

PRISM Order, along with its Initiating 

Order, into the System for execution 

into PRISM pursuant to Options 3, 

Section 13 (‘‘response’’).13 The System 

would enter the PRISM Order and the 

Initiation Order of the first recipient to 

respond into the PRISM through FIX to 

start a PRISM auction and would send 

a reject message to subsequent 

responders.14 Any Initiating Order must 

match the PRISM Order and is not 

permitted to improve the price, or else 

it would be rejected.15 However, the 

Initiating Order may be configured to 

improve the PRISM Order stop price 

pursuant to Options 3, Section 

13(ii)(A)(1)(c); 16 the configuration 

would apply only if the System initiated 

a PRISM auction.17 If there are no 

responses to the Request for PRISM, the 

PRISM Order would be placed on the 

Order Book as a Limit Order or 

cancelled, consistent with the sending 

BX Participant’s instruction.18

Once a recipient of a Request for 

PRISM has responded to the Request for 

PRISM by adding the Initiating Order, 

the PRISM may not be cancelled.19 The 

sender may not cancel a Request for 

PRISM once that Request for PRISM has
