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 update Rule 11.26(a), Usage of Data feeds, to disclose that the Exchange will utilize direct data feeds from MEMX LLC (‘‘MEMX’’) when performing: (i) order handling; (ii) order routing; (iii) order execution; and (iv) related compliance processes. The Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as noncontroversial and provided the Commission with notice required by Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act. 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 (https://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. 1 15 2 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to update Exchange Rule 11.26(a) 3 regarding the public disclosure of the sources of data that the Exchange utilizes when performing: (i) order handling; (ii) order routing; (iii) order execution; and (iv) related compliance processes. The Exchange currently utilizes MEMX market data from the Consolidated Quotation system (‘‘CQS’’)/UTP Quotation Data Feed (‘‘UQDF’’) for these purposes on BZX. The Exchange intends to begin to utilize MEMX’s direct feeds in place of market data from the CQS/ UQDF. Accordingly, the Exchange seeks to amend Exchange Rule 11.26(a) to reflect that the Exchange will utilize MEMX’s direct feeds in place of market data from the CQS/UQDF when performing order handling, order execution, routing, and related compliance processes for equity securities on BZX. Once the Exchange begins to utilize direct feeds from MEMX, the Exchange will begin to utilize the CQS/UQDF as a secondary source of data from MEMX on BZX. 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.4 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) 5 requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 3 The Exchange plans to implement the proposed rule change on a date that will be circulated in a notice from the CboeTrade Desk. 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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) 6 requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. In particular, the Exchange believes that its proposal to update Exchange Rule 11.26(a) to include the MEMX direct feeds will ensure that the Rule correctly identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market basis all the specific network processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, routing, and execution of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions. The proposed rule change also removes impediments to and perfects the mechanisms of a free and open market to protect investors and the public interest because it provides additional specificity, clarity and transparency. 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. Rather, the Exchange believes the proposal will enhance competition by because including all of the exchanges enhances transparency and enables investors to better assess the quality of the Exchange’s execution and routing services. The Exchange also believes the proposal will enhance competition because it will potentially enhance the performance of its order handling and execution of orders in equity securities by receiving market data directly from MEMX. Finally, the proposed rule change will not impact competition between market participants because it will affect all market participants equally. 6 Id. E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 22FEN1
