VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:12 Dec 19, 2024 Jkt 265001 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 Equity 4, Rule 4757(a)(A)(3) to offer increased functionality as it relates to anti-internalization. The Exchange’s proposal is identical to the changes adopted in SR–NASDAQ–2024–064 with the exception of technical differences in the numbering convention.3 Specifically, the Exchange proposes to (i) allow participants that directly submit orders to the System as Members on the Exchange and submit orders to the System through Sponsored Access 4 as a Sponsored Participant, to direct that quotes/orders entered into the System directly as a Member not execute against quotes/orders submitted as a Sponsored Participant; (ii) specify when anti-internalization will activate; (iii) introduce an anti-internalization strategy that uses the strategy of the removing order; and (v) make other clarifying changes. Affiliate Anti-Internalization Currently, Equity 4, Rule 4757(a)(A)(3) provides that market participants may direct that quotes/ orders entered into the System not execute against either quotes/orders entered under the same MPID (‘‘MPID Level AIQ’’) or quotes/orders entered across MPIDs under Common Ownership (‘‘Organization Level AIQ’’).5 In addition, market participants using the OUCH order entry protocol may assign to orders entered through a specific order entry port a unique group identification modifier that will prevent quotes/orders with such modifier from executing against each other. Antiinternalization or self-match prevention functionality assists participants in reducing trading costs from unwanted executions potentially resulting from the interaction of executable buy and sell trading interest from the same firm. The Exchange proposes to enhance its current self-match prevention functionality to allow participants that 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 101520 (November 6, 2024), 89 FR 89677 (November 13, 2024) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of File No. SR–NASDAQ–2024–064). 4 See General 2, Section 22(a). Sponsored Access shall mean an arrangement whereby a member permits its customers to enter orders into the System that bypass the member’s trading system and are routed directly to the Exchange, including routing through a service bureau or other third party technology provider. 5 For purposes of Equity 4, Rule 4757, the term ‘‘Common Ownership’’ shall mean participants under 75% common ownership or control. PO 00000 Frm 00178 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 104249 demonstrate (i) membership on the Exchange through which they directly submit orders to the System and (ii) participation as a Sponsored Participant whereby they submit orders to the System through Sponsored Access, to direct that quotes/orders entered into the System directly as a Member not execute against quotes/orders submitted as a Sponsored Participant (‘‘Affiliate Level AIQ’’).6 The proposed enhancement would be in addition to the other levels of self-match prevention offered today. Under the proposed rule change, the anti-internalization functionality would continue to be an optional feature. If a firm chooses to take advantage of self-match prevention, the firm would need to opt-in to the self-match prevention functionality, as is the case today. The purpose of this proposed change is to extend self-match prevention functionality to prevent transactions between a firm’s orders submitted directly to the System and through Sponsored Access. There are situations where an individual firm would choose to submit orders to the Exchange through different mechanisms. For instance, a firm may employ different trading strategies across different trading desks and choose to send orders for one strategy to the Exchange through a direct connection while the other strategy is sent through Sponsored Access. The proposed functionality would serve as an additional tool that participants may enable in order to assist with compliance with the various securities laws relating to potentially manipulative trading activity such as wash sales 7 and self-trades.8 Additionally, the proposed functionality would provide firms an additional solution to manage order flow by preventing undesirable executions where the firm submits orders in 6 The Exchange will require firms requesting to use Affiliate Level AIQ to complete an affidavit stating: (i) it is currently a Member of the Exchange that submits orders directly to the System, and (ii) it also submits orders to the System through a Sponsored Access arrangement. 7 A ‘‘wash sale’’ is generally defined as a trade involving no change in beneficial ownership that is intended to produce the false appearance of trading and is strictly prohibited under both the federal securities laws and FINRA rules. See, e.g., 15 U.S.C. 78i(a)(1); FINRA Rule 6140(b) (‘‘Other Trading Practices’’). 8 Self-trades are ‘‘transactions in a security resulting from the unintentional interaction of orders originating from the same firm that involve no change in beneficial ownership of the security.’’ FINRA requires members to have policies and procedures in place that are reasonably designed to review trading activity for, and prevent, a pattern or practice of self-trades resulting from orders originating from a single algorithm or trading desk, or related algorithms or trading desks.
