                    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 31, 2024, the Investors Exchange LLC (“IEX” or the “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 Exchange has designated this proposal for immediate effectiveness pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [3]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f) thereunder.[4]                                          The Commission                           ( print page 4826)                        is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

No other fee changes are proposed. Changes to the Fee Schedule pursuant to this proposal are effective upon filing,[6]                                          and will be operative on January 1, 2025.
