SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–102106; File No. SR– 

PEARL–2024–63] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX 

PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Make NonSubstantive, Clarifying Changes to the 

MIAX Pearl Options Fee Schedule 

January 3, 2025. 

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 December 

23, 2025, MIAX PEARL, LLC 

(‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Item I below, 

which Item has been substantially 

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 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

MIAX Pearl Options Exchange Fee 

Schedule (the ‘‘Fee Schedule’’) to 

update the Exchange’s email domain 

and delete the reference to mini-options. 

The proposed rule change, including 

the Exchange’s statement of the purpose 

of, and statutory basis for, the proposed 

rule change, is available on the 

Exchange’s website at https://

www.miaxglobal.com/markets/usequities/pearl-equities/rule-filings and 

on the Commission’s website at https:// 

www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/selfregulatory-organization-rulemaking/ 

national-securities-exchanges?file_

number=SR–PEARL-2024-63. 

II. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed 

Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 4 thereunder. Because the 

foregoing proposed rule change does 

not: (i) significantly affect the protection 

of investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; or (iii) become operative 

for 30 days from the date on which it 

was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 6 thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 7 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),8 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposed rule change may become 

operative immediately upon filing. The 

Commission believes that waving the 

30-day operative delay is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest because it will allow the 

Exchange to delete an outdated 

reference to mini-options that are no 

longer offered by the Exchange and 

update a reference to the Exchange’s old 

email domain, thereby alleviating 

potential confusion and adding clarity 

to its rules, and does not introduce any 

novel regulatory issues. Accordingly, 

the Commission designates the 

proposed rule change to be operative 

upon filing.9

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. 

III. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.10

Comments may be submitted 

electronically by using the 

Commission’s internet comment form

5 ‘‘Specialized Quote Feed’’ or ‘‘SQF’’ is an 

interface that allows Market Makers to connect, 

send, and receive messages related to quotes, 

Immediate-or-Cancel Orders, and auction responses 

into and from the Exchange. Features include the 

following: (1) options symbol directory messages 

(e.g., underlying instruments); (2) system event 

messages (e.g., start of trading hours messages and 

start of opening); (3) trading action messages (e.g., 

halts and resumes); (4) execution messages; (5) 

quote messages; (6) Immediate-or-Cancel Order 

messages; (7) risk protection triggers and purge 

notifications; (8) opening imbalance messages; (9) 

auction notifications; and (10) auction responses. 

The SQF Purge Interface only receives and notifies 

of purge requests from the Market Maker. Market 

Makers may only enter interest into SQF in their 

assigned options series. Immediate-or-Cancel 

Orders entered into SQF are not subject to the Order 

Price Protection, Market Order Spread Protection, 

or Size Limitation Protection in Options 3, Section 

15(a)(1), (a)(2), and (b)(2) respectively. See Options 

3, Section 7(e)(1)(B). 

6The Exchange initially filed this fee proposal as 

SR–BX–2024–044 on October 18, 2024. On 

December 3, 2024, the Exchange withdrew SR–BX– 

2024–044 and replaced it with SR–BX–2024–056. 

On December 20, 2024, SR–BX–2024–056 was 

withdrawn and replaced with this fee change.
