SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-101303; File No. SR-CboeBYX-2024-036]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of 
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend 
Its Fees Schedule Regarding Dedicated Cores

October 10, 2024.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that 
on September 30, 2024, Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or 
``BYX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, 
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The 
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the 
proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BYX Equities'') 
proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed rule 
change is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the 
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/BYX/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at 
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in 
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule to adopt fees for 
Dedicated Cores.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange initially adopted pricing for Dedicated Cores 
on May 6, 2024 (SR-CboeBYX-2024-014). On July 1, 2024, the Exchange 
withdrew that filing and submitted SR-CboeBYX-2024-024. On August 1, 
2024, the Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted SR-CboeBYX-
2024-028. On business date September 30, 2024, the Exchange withdrew 
that filing and submitted this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By way of background, the Exchange recently began to allow Users 
\4\ to assign a Single Binary Order Entry (``BOE'') logical order entry 
port \5\ to a single dedicated Central Processing Unit (CPU Core) 
(``Dedicated Core''). Historically, CPU Cores had been shared by 
logical order entry ports (i.e., multiple logical ports from multiple 
firms may connect to a single CPU Core). Use of Dedicated Cores 
however, can provide reduced latency, enhanced throughput, and improved 
performance since a firm using a Dedicated Core is utilizing the full 
processing power of a CPU Core instead of sharing that power with other 
firms. This offering is completely voluntary and is available to all 
Users that wish to purchase Dedicated Cores. Users may utilize BOE 
logical order entry ports on shared CPU Cores, either in lieu of, or in 
addition to, their use of Dedicated Core(s). As such, Users are able to 
operate across a mix of shared and dedicated CPU Cores which the 
Exchange believes provides additional risk and capacity management. 
Further, Dedicated Cores are not required nor necessary to participate 
on the Exchange and as such Users may opt not to use Dedicated Cores at 
all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A User may be either a Member or Sponsored Participant. The 
term ``Member'' shall mean any registered broker or dealer that has 
been admitted to membership in the Exchange, limited liability 
company or other organization which is a registered broker or dealer 
pursuant to Section 15 of the Act, and which has been approved by 
the Exchange. A Sponsored Participant may be a Member or non-Member 
of the Exchange whose direct electronic access to the Exchange is 
authorized by a Sponsoring Member subject to certain conditions. See 
Exchange Rule 11.3.
    \5\ Users may currently connect to the Exchange using a logical 
port available through an application programming interface 
(``API''), such as the Binary Order Entry (``BOE'') protocol. A BOE 
logical order entry port is used for order entry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to assess the following monthly fees for 
Users that wish to use Dedicated Cores and adopt a maximum limit. 
First, the Exchange proposes to provide up to two Dedicated Cores to 
all Users who wish to use Dedicated Cores, at no additional cost.

[[Page 83741]]

For the use of more than two Dedicated Cores, the Exchange proposes to 
assess the following fees: $650 per Dedicated Core for 3-10 Dedicated 
Cores; $850 per Dedicated Core for 11-15 Dedicated Cores; and $1,050 
per Dedicated Core for 16 or more Dedicated Cores. The proposed fees 
are progressive and the Exchange proposes to include the following 
example in the Fees Schedule to provide clarity as to how the fees will 
be applied. Particularly, the Exchange will provide the following 
example: if a User were to purchase 11 Dedicated Cores, it will be 
charged a total of $6,050 per month ($0 * 2 + $650 * 8 + $850 * 1). The 
Exchange also proposes to make clear in the Fees Schedule that the 
monthly fees are assessed and applied in their entirety and are not 
prorated. The Exchange notes the current standard fees assessed for BOE 
Logical Ports, whether used with Dedicated or shared CPU cores, will 
remain applicable and unchanged.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange currently assesses $550 per port per month. 
Port fees will also continue to be assessed on the first two 
Dedicated Cores that Users receive at no additional cost. See Cboe 
BYX Equities Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the Exchange currently has a finite amount of physical space 
in its data centers in which its servers (and therefore corresponding 
CPU Cores) are located, the Exchange also proposes to prescribe a 
maximum limit on the number of Dedicated Cores that Users may purchase 
each month. The purpose of establishing these limits is to manage the 
allotment of Dedicated Cores in a fair manner and to prevent the 
Exchange from being required to expend large amounts of resources in 
order to provide an unlimited number of Dedicated Cores. The Exchange 
previously established a limit for Members of a maximum number of 60 
Dedicated Cores and Sponsoring Members a limit of a maximum number of 
25 Dedicated Cores for each of their Sponsored Access relationships.\7\ 
The Exchange has since been able to procure additional servers with CPU 
Cores and also has a better understanding of User demand relative to 
its available space since the current maximum was adopted last month. 
As such, the Exchange proposes to increase that caps and provide that 
Members will be limited to a maximum number of 80 Dedicated Cores \8\ 
and Sponsoring Members will be limited to a maximum number of 35 
Dedicated Cores for each of their Sponsored Access relationships.\9\ 
The Exchange notes that it will continue monitoring Dedicated Core 
interest by all Users and allotment availability with the goal of 
increasing these limits to meet Users' needs if and when the demand is 
there and the Exchange is able to accommodate additional Dedicated 
Cores.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100476 (July 9, 
2024), 89 FR 57482 (July 15, 2024) (SR-CboeBYX-2024-024).
    \8\ The prescribed maximum quantity of Dedicated Cores for 
Members applies regardless of whether that Member purchases the 
Dedicated Cores directly from the Exchange and/or through a Service 
Bureau. In a Service Bureau relationship, a customer allows its MPID 
to be used on the ports of a technology provider, or Service Bureau. 
One MPID may be allowed on several different Service Bureaus.
    \9\ The fee tier(s) applicable to Sponsoring Members are 
determined on a per Sponsored Access relationship basis and not on 
the combined total of Dedicated Cores across Sponsored Users. For 
example, under the proposed changes, a Sponsoring Member that has 
three Sponsored Access relationships is entitled to a total of 105 
Dedicated Cores for those 3 Sponsored Access relationships but would 
be assessed fees separately based on the 35 Dedicated Cores for each 
Sponsored User (instead of combined total of 105 Dedicated Cores). 
For example, a Sponsoring Member with 3 Sponsored Access 
relationships would pay $30,450 per month if each Sponsored Access 
relationship purchased the maximum 35 Dedicated Cores. More 
specifically, the Sponsoring Member would be provided 2 Dedicated 
Cores at no additional cost for each Sponsored User under Tier 1 
(total of 6 Dedicated Cores at no additional cost) and provided an 
additional 8 Dedicated Cores at $650 each for each Sponsored User, 5 
Dedicated Cores at $850 each for each Sponsored User and 20 
Dedicated Cores at $1,050 each for each Sponsored User (combined 
total of 99 additional Dedicated Cores).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and 
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, 
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\10\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \11\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be 
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation 
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating 
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, 
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, 
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \12\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, 
brokers, or dealers. The Exchange also believes the proposed rule 
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) \13\ of the Act, which 
requires that Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of 
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Members and other 
persons using its facilities.

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposal is reasonable because the 
Exchange is offering any Users who wishes to utilize Dedicated Cores up 
to two Dedicated Cores at no additional cost. For example, of the Users 
that currently maintain Dedicated Cores, 38% maintain only 1 or 2 
Dedicated Cores and therefore pay no additional fees. The Exchange 
believes the proposed fees are reasonable because Dedicated Cores 
provide a valuable service in that it can provide reduced latency, 
enhanced throughput, and improved performance compared to use of a 
shared CPU Core since a firm using a Dedicated Core is utilizing the 
full processing power of a CPU Core. The Exchange also emphasizes 
however, that the use of Dedicated Cores is not necessary for trading 
and as noted above, is entirely optional. Users can also continue to 
access the Exchange through shared CPU Cores at no additional cost. 
Indeed, 18% of the Exchange's Members currently use Dedicated Cores and 
as noted above, of those who do, 38% take only 1 or 2 Dedicated Cores 
at no additional cost. Depending on a firm's specific business needs, 
the proposal enables Users to choose to use Dedicated Cores in lieu of, 
or in addition to, shared CPU Cores (or as emphasized, not use 
Dedicated Cores at all). If a User finds little benefit in having 
Dedicated Cores based on its business model and trading strategies, or 
determines Dedicated Cores are not cost-efficient for its needs or does 
not provide sufficient value to the firm, such User may continue its 
use of the shared CPU Cores, unchanged. The Exchange also has no plans 
to eliminate shared CPU Cores nor to require Users to purchase 
Dedicated Cores.
    The Exchange has seen general interest in Dedicated Cores from a 
variety of market participants, with varying size and business models. 
Such market participants include proprietary trading firms (who tend to 
be more latency sensitive), as well as sell-side market participants 
and buy-side market participants (who tend to be less latency 
sensitive). Further, Members have various reasons for obtaining 
Dedicated Cores. Some Members for example, may be seeking to further 
reduce latency, whereas others may use Dedicated Cores as a general 
risk mitigation by siloing

[[Page 83742]]

their respective activity. Of further note, only 50% of Members that 
are propriety trading firms (who again, generally tend to be more 
latency sensitive) utilize Dedicated Cores, and of that 50%, 25% are 
utilizing the 1 to 2 free Dedicated Cores available to all Users. The 
lack of universal, or even widespread, adoption by all such users 
therefore demonstrates that purchasing Dedicated Cores is not 
effectively a requirement to compete for any one type of market 
participant, including latency sensitive market participants. Instead, 
Dedicated Cores are an optional and voluntary connectivity offering, 
which market participants are free to choose whether or not to utilize 
based on whether they meet their unique business needs.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposed Dedicated Core fees 
are equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because they continue to 
be assessed uniformly to similarly situated users in that all Users who 
choose to purchase Dedicated Cores will be subject to the same proposed 
tiered fee schedule. Moreover, all Users are entitled to up to 2 
Dedicated Cores at no additional cost and as previously discussed, 38% 
of all Users that take Dedicated Cores (including both latency 
sensitive and non-latency sensitive Users) take only 1 or 2 Dedicated 
Cores at no additional cost. The Exchange believes the proposed 
ascending fee structure is also reasonable, equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory as it is designed so that firms that use a higher 
allotment of the Exchange's finite number of Dedicated Cores pay higher 
rates, rather than placing that burden on market participants that have 
more modest needs who will have the flexibility of obtaining Dedicated 
Cores at lower price points in the lower tiers. As such, the proposed 
fees do not favor certain categories of market participants in a manner 
that would impose a burden on competition; rather, the ascending fee 
structure reflects the (finite) resources consumed by the various needs 
of market participants--that is, the lowest Dedicated Core consuming 
Users pay the least, and highest Dedicated Core consuming Users pay the 
most. Other exchanges similarly assess higher fees to those that 
consume more Exchange resources.\14\ Moreover, those consuming more 
Dedicated Cores do so if they find a benefit in having higher 
quantities of Dedicated Cores based on their respective business needs. 
The proposed tier structure is also designed to encourage firms to 
manage their needs in a fair manner and to prevent the Exchange from 
being required to expend large amounts of resources in order to provide 
an additional number of Dedicated Cores. Moreover, as discussed above 
and in more detail below, the Exchange cannot currently offer an 
unlimited number of Dedicated Cores due in part to physical space 
constraints in the third-party data center. The Exchange believes the 
proposed ascending fee structure is therefore another appropriate 
means, in conjunction with an established cap, to manage this finite 
resource and ensure the resource is apportioned more fairly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See e.g., Cboe U.S. Options Fees Schedule, BZX Options, 
Options Logical Port Fees, Ports with Bulk Quoting Capabilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes it is reasonable to limit the number of 
Dedicated Cores Users can purchase because the Exchange has a finite 
amount of space in its third-party data centers to accommodate CPU 
cores, including Dedicated Cores. The Exchange must also take into 
account timing and cost considerations in procuring additional 
Dedicated Cores and related hardware such as servers, switches, optics 
and cables, as well as the readiness of the Exchange's data center to 
accommodate additional Dedicated Cores in the Exchange's respective 
Order Handler Cabinets.\15\ Moreover, procuring data center space has 
grown to be more challenging than it was five years ago with the 
increased demand for data center space. For example, the U.S. 
colocation data center market has doubled in size in just four years. 
In addition to the Exchange's rollout of Dedicated Cores, the Exchange 
is mindful of its other business areas and the need to continue to be 
mindful of its existing, external restraints in this area. The Exchange 
has, and will continue to, monitor market participant demand and space 
availability and endeavor to adjust the limit if and when the Exchange 
is able to acquire additional space and power within the third-party 
data centers and/or additional CPU Cores to accommodate additional 
Dedicated Cores.\16\ The Exchange monitors its capacity and data center 
space and thus is in the best place to determine these limits and 
modify them as appropriate in response to changes to this capacity and 
space, as well as market demand. Indeed, the Exchange has already 
increased the prescribed maximum since the launch of Dedicated Cores on 
May 6, 2024 as a result of evaluating the demand relative to Dedicated 
Cores availability.\17\ As another example, the Exchange's affiliate 
Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. has increased the prescribed maximum limit 
three times since the launch of Dedicated Cores on its exchange on 
February 26, 2024 as a result of evaluating the demand relative to 
Dedicated Cores availability.\18\ The proposed increased limits 
continue to apply uniformly to similarly situated market participants 
(i.e., all Members are subject to the same limit and all Sponsored 
Participants are subject to the same limit, respectively). The Exchange 
believes it's not unfairly discriminatory to provide for different 
limits for different types of Users. For example, the Exchange believes 
it's not unfairly discriminatory to provide for an initial lower limit 
to be allocated for Sponsored Participants because unlike Members, 
Sponsored Participants are able to access the Exchange without paying a 
Membership Fee. Members also have more regulatory obligations and risk 
that Sponsored Participants do not. For example, while Sponsored 
Participants must agree to comply with the Rules of the Exchange, it is 
the Sponsoring Member of that Sponsored Participant that remains 
ultimately responsible for all orders entered on or through the 
Exchange by that Sponsored Participant. The industry also has a history 
of applying fees differently to Members as compared to Sponsored 
Participants.\19\ Lastly, the Exchange believes its proposed maximum 
limits, and distinction between Members and Sponsored Users, is another 
appropriate means to help the Exchange manage its allotment of 
Dedicated Cores and better ensure this finite resource is apportioned 
fairly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ The Exchange notes that it cannot currently convert shared 
CPU cores into Dedicated Cores.
    \16\ The Exchange notes that no Users that take Dedicated Cores 
are at or near the maximum limits and the average number of 
Dedicated Cores used for the Exchange is 8.
    \17\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100476 (July 9, 
2024), 89 FR 57482 (July 15, 2024) (SR-CboeBYX-2024-024).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the proposed tiered fee 
structure will apply equally to all similarly situated Users

[[Page 83743]]

that choose to use Dedicated Cores. As discussed above, Dedicated Cores 
are optional and Users may choose to utilize Dedicated Cores, or not, 
based on their views of the additional benefits and added value 
provided by utilizing a Dedicated Core. The Exchange believes the 
proposed fee will be assessed proportionately to the potential value or 
benefit received by Users with a greater number of Dedicated Cores and 
notes that Users may determine at any time to cease using Dedicated 
Cores. As discussed, Users can also continue to access the Exchange 
through shared CPU Cores at no additional cost. Finally, all Users will 
be entitled to two Dedicated Cores at no additional cost.
    Next, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change does not 
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously 
discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, 
including competition for exchange memberships. Market Participants 
have numerous alternative venues that they may participate on, 
including 15 other equities exchanges, as well as off-exchange venues, 
where competitive products are available for trading. Indeed, 
participants can readily choose to submit their order flow to other 
exchange and off-exchange venues if they deem fee levels at those other 
venues to be more favorable. Moreover, the Commission has repeatedly 
expressed its preference for competition over regulatory intervention 
in determining prices, products, and services in the securities 
markets. Specifically, in Regulation NMS, the Commission highlighted 
the importance of market forces in determining prices and SRO revenues 
and, also, recognized that current regulation of the market system 
``has been remarkably successful in promoting market competition in its 
broader forms that are most important to investors and listed 
companies.'' \20\ The fact that this market is competitive has also 
long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows: ``[n]o one 
disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC 
explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and sellers of 
securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-routing 
agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders for 
execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share 
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly, 
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker 
dealers'. . . .''.\21\ Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its 
proposed change imposes any burden on competition that is not necessary 
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

21)).

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \22\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \23\ 
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed 
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
