[Release No. 34–102040; File No. SR– 

NYSECHX–2024–37] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Chicago, Inc.; Notice of Filing of 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend the 

Connectivity Fee Schedule 

December 27, 2024. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on December 

17, 2024, the NYSE Chicago, Inc. 

(‘‘NYSE Chicago’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 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 selfregulatory organization. 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 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

Connectivity Fee Schedule (‘‘Fee 

Schedule’’) to add connectivity to the 

New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE 

American LLC, and NYSE Arca, Inc. 

trading floors. The proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

www.nyse.com, at the principal office of 

the Exchange, 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 

self-regulatory organization 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 those 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 parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

Fee Schedule to add connectivity to the 

New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE 

American LLC, and NYSE Arca, Inc. 

trading floors (‘‘Trading Floors’’). 

A User 4 may wish to have a 

connection between the Mahwah, New 

Jersey data center (‘‘MDC’’) 5 and a 

Trading Floor. A connection between 

the MDC and a Trading Floor may be 

between the User and itself or between 

the User and a third party. The User 

may use such connection for receiving 

and transmitting trading-related data 

(including pre- and post-trade data and 

clearing information) or providing 

services to individuals physically 

located on the floor (including access to 

back-office systems), as determined by 

the User. 

The Exchange proposes to add an 

option for such a connection to the Fee 

Schedule. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to 

add unicast connections through which 

a User can establish a connection 

between the MDC and a Trading Floor 

over dedicated bandwidth (‘‘TF 

Connections’’).6 Presently, a TF 

Connection can be in the form of a 

virtual control circuit between the MDC 

and a single Trading Floor (‘‘TF VCC’’), 

or a virtual routing and forwarding 

service between the MDC and one or 

more Trading Floors (‘‘TF VRF’’). A TF 

Connection may be used for any 

purpose: neither FIDS nor the Exchange 

has any visibility into a TF Connection. 

All TF Connections must be 

authorized by both parties to the 

connection before FIDS will establish a 

connection. Establishing a User’s TF 

Connection will not give FIDS or the 

Exchange any right to use the relevant 

exchange’s system. A TF Connection 

will not provide direct access or order 

entry to the Exchange’s execution 

system, and a User’s TF Connection will 

not be through the Exchange’s execution 

system. 

TF Connections are offered at a 

monthly fee based on bandwidth 

requirements, which fee is consistent 

with the monthly fees charged for VCC 

connections and the same as those 

charged for connectivity to Third Party 

Systems.7 When a User requests a TF 

Connection, it identifies the size of 

bandwidth connection it requires, and 

the monthly charge for the TF
