(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 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 Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) proposes to delay implementation of a new connectivity offering. The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the Exchange’s website (https://markets.cboe.com/us/ options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), 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. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to delay the implementation of Dedicated Cores. The Exchange previously filed SR– CboeEDGX–2024–026 to establish Dedicated Cores effective June 3, 2024.5 By way of background, SR– CboeEDGX–2024–026 proposed to introduce a new connectivity offering relating to the use of Dedicated Cores. Historically, Central Processing Units (‘‘CPU Cores’’) have been shared by logical order entry ports (i.e., multiple logical ports from multiple firms may connect to a single CPU Core). The introduction of Dedicated Cores would allow Users 6 to assign a single Binary Order Entry (‘‘BOE’’) logical order entry port 7 to a single dedicated CPU Core (‘‘Dedicated Core’’).8 Use of Dedicated Cores can provide reduced latency, enhanced throughput, and improved performance since a firm using a Dedicated Core is utilizing the full processing power of a CPU Core instead of sharing that power with other firms. This offering is completely voluntary and will be available to all Users.9 Users will also continue to have the option to utilize BOE logical order entry ports on shared CPU Cores as they do today, either in lieu of, or in addition to, their use of Dedicated Core(s). As such, Users will be able to operate across a mix of shared and dedicated CPU Cores which the Exchange believes provides additional risk and capacity 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97658 (May 20, 2024), 89 FR 45930 (May 24, 2024) (SR– CboeEDGX–2024–026) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Introduce a New Connectivity Offering Through Dedicated Cores) (‘‘SR–CboeEDGX–2024–026’’). 6 A User may be either a Member or Sponsored Participant. The term ‘‘Member’’ shall mean any registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange, limited liability company or other organization which is a registered broker or dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Act, and which has been approved by the Exchange. A Sponsored Participant may be a Member or nonMember of the Exchange whose direct electronic access to the Exchange is authorized by a Sponsoring Member subject to certain conditions. See Exchange Rule 11.3. 7 Users may currently connect to the Exchange using a logical port available through an application programming interface (‘‘API’’), such as the Binary Order Entry (‘‘BOE’’) protocol. A BOE logical order entry port is used for order entry. 8 The Exchange notes that firms will not have physical access to their Dedicated Core and thus cannot make any modifications to the Dedicated Core or server. All Dedicated Cores (including servers used for this service) are owned and operated by the Exchange. 9 The Exchange intends to submit a separate rule filing to adopt monthly fees related to the use of Dedicated Cores.
