US Equity Options Exchanges Propose Changes to Regulatory Fee Structure

US equity options exchanges are advocating for a revision in the way regulatory fees are assessed. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that the exchanges aim to eliminate the current system that permits them to collect fees for transactions conducted on competing exchanges. This proposal seeks to address concerns over fairness and efficiency in the fee collection process. The exchanges believe that the existing method may lead to discrepancies and are pushing for a more equitable approach. The proposed changes are expected to impact how fees are distributed across different trading platforms.
