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

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX'') proposes to 
amend Rule 11.22 to introduce a new product to be known as ``Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools'' and to amend its Fee Schedule to establish a 
fee for a user login that elects to subscribe to the Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools. 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/bzx/), 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 Rule 11.22(b) to introduce a new 
product to be known as Cboe Premium Exchange Tools, as further 
described below, and to amend its Fee Schedule to adopt a monthly fee 
assessed to users that elect to subscribe to such Cboe Premium Exchange 
Tools, effective August 31, 2021.
Cboe Premium Exchange Tools
    Currently, Members,\5\ Sponsored Participants,\6\ and service 
bureaus are leveraging certain value-added tools (i.e., Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools) on the Exchange to obtain certain information free of 
charge. Particularly, Cboe Premium Exchange Tools offers an easily 
accessible internet-based tool that allows users access to certain 
execution information for their firm through a single interface. Now, 
the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 11.22(b) to describe the Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools in its Rules. Specifically, proposed Rule 
11.22(b) provides that the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools is a web-based 
tool designed to give a subscribing user the ability to track latency 
statics of the user's logical order entry ports or execution 
information of the Member or a Sponsored Participant of the Member. The 
proposed rule also provides that a user may obtain historical reports 
of such execution information, as further described below.\7\ Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools is currently comprised of the following three 
reports: (i) Trade data report,\8\ (ii) latency statistics report,\9\ 
and (iii) volume history report.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
    \6\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(x).
    \7\ All information available to Members as described herein is 
historical information.
    \8\ Trade Data Reports may be obtained by a Member, or if 
authorized to do so a Sponsored Participant.
    \9\ Latency Statistics Reports may be obtained by a Member, 
Sponsored Participant or service bureaus as it relates to their 
respective logical order entry ports.
    \10\ Volume History Reports may be obtained by a Member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trade Data Report
    The trade data report offers the ability for a user to view and/or 
export its Member's and, if applicable, a Sponsored Participant of the 
Member, granular execution detail.\11\ Specifically, the report 
currently includes the following information: Date, time, Member 
identifier, clearing member identifier, session, order identification, 
symbol, side (i.e., buy, sell, sell short), price, quantity, capacity 
(e.g., agent, principal), liquidity indicator (i.e., adder or remover 
of liquidity), order type,\12\ indicator as to whether order set or 
joined the national best bid or offer (``NBBO''),\13\ and associated 
fee code(s). The information is provided in order to aid Members in 
conducting their own reconciliations and assist in report generation, 
and, unlike the Volume History Report, is available on an execution-by-
execution basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Sponsored Participants may also subscribe to the Trade Data 
Report, provided that its Sponsoring Member provides the Exchange 
authorization to do so. Trade Data Reports provided to Sponsored 
Participants only include execution detail related to the Sponsored 
Participant.
    \12\ See Exchange Rule 11.9.
    \13\ Hidden orders that neither set or join the NBBO are 
identified as such within the report.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Latency Statistics Report
    The latency statistics report offers functionality to view latency 
statistics relating to logical order entry ports, including a Member's 
orders, acknowledgements, and cancels, including roundtrip data from 
into the edge network device and back, which accounts for latency 
within the Exchange order gateways and matching engines. Specifically, 
the latency statistics report includes the following information: (i) 
The roundtrip time between the order entering the Exchange's network 
and the time the order acknowledgement leaves the Exchange's network, 
(ii) the roundtrip time between an order cancellation request and the 
time the order cancellation request acknowledgement leaves the 
Exchange's network, (iii) the roundtrip time between an order entering 
the Exchange's network and the time that the order appears on the 
Multicast PITCH feed, (iv) the roundtrip time for a Transmission 
Control Protocol (``TCP'') \14\ message sent by the Exchange to be 
acknowledged by the Member, and (v) averages a Member can expect for 
items (i) through (iii) across their own ports and across the entire 
system (i.e., across all Members). A Member, service bureau, or 
Sponsored Participant may view the latency statistics for orders that 
they send to the Exchange through their own respective logical order 
entry ports. The information included in the latency statistics report 
is designed to give users insight into the performance characteristics 
of their logical order entry ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ TCP is a communications standard that enables application 
programs and computing devises to exchange messages over a network.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume History Report
    The volume history report provides users the functionality to view 
the Member's, high level volume history on the Exchange, as well as 
more granular added, removed, and routed orders at a per Tape and MPID 
level or a per security level for the purpose of tracking and measuring 
outcomes.\15\ The tools offer functionality to allow a user to view 
aggregated volume history reports on behalf of the Member or a 
Sponsored Participant of the Member for the purpose of firm or client-
level reporting, administration, and risk management.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Information included in the Volume History Report includes 
all activity, including that executed on behalf of Sponsored 
Participants. Execution volume made on behalf of a Sponsored 
Participant is not delineated within the Volume History Report.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cboe Premium Exchange Tools Fee
    The Exchange also proposes to adopt a fee applicable to users that 
subscribe to the proposed Cboe Premium Exchange Tools. Specifically, as 
proposed, the Exchange would assess a monthly fee of $65 for each user 
login that subscribes to any of the reports and services that comprise 
the Cboe

[[Page 52263]]

Premium Exchange Tools. As discussed above, Premium Exchange Tools 
provides users with an easily accessible tool that allows them to 
access certain execution and latency information from a single 
interface and provides such information in a convenient, user-friendly 
format. Further, a number of enhancements have recently been made to 
the various reports and services included in the Cboe Premium Exchange 
Tools. For example, the trade data report has recently been enhanced to 
provide timestamps with microsecond granularity for added detail on a 
per trade basis. Therefore, the Exchange believes the assessment of 
such a fee aligns with the additional value and benefits provided to 
users that choose to subscribe to the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools. The 
Exchange also believes that the proposal is appropriate to balance the 
Exchange resource requirements in creating, managing, and supporting 
the services and reports provided by the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools.
    The Cboe Premium Exchange Tools fee will be assessed to a user for 
the entire month regardless of when the user receives access to the 
Premium Exchange Tools. If a user obtains or cancels a subscription to 
the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools on or after the first business day of 
the month, the user will be required to pay the entire Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools fee for that month.
    The Exchange anticipates a number of users will subscribe to the 
Cboe Premium Exchange Tools. It is a completely voluntary product, in 
that the Exchange is not required by any rule or regulation to make the 
reports or services available and that potential subscribers may 
purchase it only if they voluntarily choose to do so. Further, the 
Exchange notes that other exchanges offer similar products.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See the ``TradeInfo Fees'' offered on the Nasdaq Stock 
Exchange (``Nasdaq''), Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``Nasdaq BX''), and the 
Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx''), each of which assess a fee of $95 per 
user per month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\17\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 
6(b)(4) of the Act,\18\ 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. The Exchange 
also believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 
6(b)(5) \19\ 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) \20\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed 
to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or 
dealers.

    \20\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposal to amend Rule 11.22(b) to 
provide for the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools is reasonable for several 
reasons. First, certain of the underlying information available via the 
Cboe Premium Exchange Tools is otherwise generally available to users. 
While the proposal provides a value-added service by setting forth such 
information in a user-friendly format, the underlying data included in 
the trade data report and volume history report contains general 
Member-specific execution information to which a Member would have 
access to without subscribing to Premium Exchange Tools, (e.g., via 
their own order entry ports which include Member-provided order 
instructions, exchange-sent acknowledgement messages, and drop copies). 
Moreover, the data included in the trade data report and volume history 
report is substantially similar to data offered in the Nasdaq TradeInfo 
tool, which provides detailed data on the status of orders executions, 
cancels and breaks, and generates reports for download, and allows the 
member to cancel or correct open orders.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Securities and Exchange Act No. 90772 (December 22, 
2020) 85 FR 86632 (December 30, 2020) (SR-NASDAQ-2020-088) (Proposed 
rule change describing the withdrawal of Nasdaq's QView product from 
sale and that the information included therein will continue to be 
available via TradeInfo).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While certain underlying data included in the latency statistics 
report such as latency averages across the System is not otherwise 
available to Members, or where applicable, Sponsored Participants, or 
service bureaus, the Exchange notes such users can obtain similar 
information on their own latency statistics relating to their orders, 
acknowledgements, TCP messages, and cancels, including roundtrip data 
from out of their edge network device and back without subscribing to 
Premium Exchange Tools. Particularly, users are able to calculate these 
latencies on their own servers as the underlying transaction 
information is timestamped, which would similarly account for the 
latency throughout the Exchange side of the network (i.e., the Exchange 
does not believe latency statistics calculated by users themselves 
would be materially different from the Exchange's calculations). The 
Exchange notes that although latency information related to averages 
across the system would not otherwise be available to Members, 
Sponsored Participants or service bureaus absent subscribing to Premium 
Exchange Tools, providing users such information is not novel as 
similar information was historically made available in an offering by 
Nasdaq. Specifically, prior to its decommission in December of 2020, 
Nasdaq provided summary latency statistics via its QView tool which 
provided members that subscribed to QView Latency Optics add-on service 
the ability to monitor three types of latency for order messages and 
compare that latency to the average on the Nasdaq System.\22\ The 
specific latency statistics included: (i) The roundtrip time between 
order entry and receipt of acknowledgement; (ii) roundtrip time between 
order entry and the time that the order appears on the TotalView ITCH 
multicast feed; and (iii) the roundtrip time between the entry of an 
order cancellation request and the time that the message in reply is 
received by the client device.\23\ Similarly as noted above, the 
Exchange's proposed latency statistics report provides users averages 
across the entire System for three types of latency: (i) The roundtrip 
time between the order entering the Exchange's network and the time the 
order acknowledgement leaves the Exchange's network, (ii) the roundtrip 
time between an order cancellation request and the

[[Page 52264]]

time the order cancellation request acknowledgement leaves the 
Exchange's network, (iii) the roundtrip time between an order entering 
the Exchange's network and the time that the order appears on the 
Multicast PITCH feed. Even after QView was decommissioned, the 
underlying data needed to generate the latency statistics (other than 
for averages across the Nasdaq system) for each member was and 
continues to be available via the Nasdaq TradeInfo tool.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68617 (January 10, 
2013), 78 FR 3480 (January 16, 2013) (SR-Nasdaq-2013-005) 
(introducing the Latency Optics add-on). See also Securities 
Exchange Act Release No. 82003 (November 2, 2017), 82 FR 51894 
(November 8, 2017) (SR-Nasdaq-2017-113) (proposed rule change that 
also describes the Latency Optics add-on service, which provided, 
among other things, subscribing members the ability to compare their 
latency to the average of the Nasdaq system).
    \23\ Id.
    \24\ Nasdaq similarly noted that users of TradeInfo are able to 
calculate latencies included in the Latency Optics add-on service as 
the underlying transaction information is timestamped. See 
Securities and Exchange Act No. 90772 (December 22, 2020) 85 FR 
86632 (December 30, 2020) (SR-NASDAQ-2020-088).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed fee for the Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools is consistent with the Act in that it is reasonable, 
equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory. In particular, the Exchange 
believes that the proposed fee is reasonable because it is reasonably 
aligned with the value and benefits provided to users that choose to 
subscribe to the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools on the Exchange. As 
discussed above, Premium Exchange Tools provides users with an easily 
accessible tool that allows them to access certain execution and 
latency information from a single interface and provides such 
information in a convenient, user-friendly format. Also as described 
above, information provided by Premium Exchange Tools relates to the 
subscribing user's activity on the Exchange, and users may generally 
access and aggregate this information by other means, including its own 
internal systems, without a subscription to Premium Exchange Tools. As 
such, the Exchange believes that if a user determines that the fee is 
not cost-efficient for its needs, it may decline to subscribe to 
Premium Exchange Tools and access such information from other sources. 
Indeed, the Cboe Premium Tools is a completely voluntary product, and 
the Exchange is not required by any rule or regulation to offer the 
reports or services provided under the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools. 
Nonetheless, such tools may be beneficial to Members and non-Members as 
they provide various value-added Exchange reports and services. 
Providing the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools to users requires the 
Exchange to allocate additional resources to create, manage, and 
support the services and reports. Therefore, the Exchange believes that 
it is reasonable to assess a modest fee to users that subscribe to the 
Cboe Premium Exchange Tools.
    The Exchange further believes the proposed fee is reasonable 
because the amount assessed is less than the analogous fees charged by 
Nasdaq, Nasdaq BX, and PHLX. The TradeInfo product offered by the 
aforementioned exchanges provides users the status of orders, 
executions, cancels and breaks, and provides the ability to cancel 
orders. Further, to view a variety of trading data, users can generate 
several different types of reports such as execution reports.\25\ As 
described above, the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools will offer similar 
data to that provided by Nasdaq, Nasdaq BX, and PHLX while, the 
Exchange's proposed fee for the Cboe Premium Tools at $65 per month per 
user, is lower than each of the Nasdaq, Nasdaq BX, and PHLX fees for 
similar information which charge $95 per user.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=tradeinfo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed fee is equitable and not 
unfairly discriminatory because it will apply to all Members and non-
Members that choose to subscribe to the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools 
equally. As stated, the services and reports provided by the Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools are completely optional and not necessary for 
trading. Rather, the Exchange voluntarily makes the Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools available and users may choose to subscribe (and pay 
for) the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools based on their own individual 
business needs. Potential subscribers may subscribe to Cboe Premium 
Exchange Tools at any time if they believe it to be valuable or may 
decline to purchase such services and reports.

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 competition that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the proposed Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools will be available equally to all Members and 
non-Members that choose to subscribe to such tools. As stated, the Cboe 
Premium Exchange Tools are optional and Members and non-Members may 
choose to subscribe to such tools, or not, based on their view of the 
additional benefits and added value provided by utilizing the reports 
or services offered by the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools.
    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, Nasdaq currently offers products that include similar 
information to that proposed under the Cboe Premium Exchange Tools. 
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.'' 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' . . . .''. Accordingly, the Exchange 
does not believe its proposal imposes any burden on competition that is 
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    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; and (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

[[Page 52265]]

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \26\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \27\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission 
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along 
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at 
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed 
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. 
The Commission has waived that requirement in this case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \28\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \29\ permits the Commission to 
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has 
proposed to implement this proposed rule change on August 31, 2021 and 
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay for this 
filing. The Exchange states that the proposed data to be included in 
the proposed Cboe Premium Exchange Tools is already generally available 
to all users without a subscription to Cboe Premium Exchange Tools and/
or is substantially similar to information that was historically, or 
currently is, included in similar products offered on Nasdaq.\30\ The 
Commission believes waiver of the operative delay will allow a 
description of Cboe Premium Exchange Tools product to be immediately 
reflected in the Exchange's rules and is consistent with the protection 
of investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change 
does not raise any new or novel issues. Accordingly, the Commission 
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed 
rule change as operative upon filing.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \29\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \30\ See supra notes 21-24.
    \31\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.

IV. 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. Comments may be submitted by any of
