Statement On Amendments To Tick Sizes, Access Fees, And Transparency Of Better Priced Orders, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Sept. 18, 2024
Date 18/09/2024
I think it is fair to say that equity market structure contains multitudes, and in that poetic spirit today the Commission will vote on amendments that can be broken into several components: (1) reducing the tick size for certain stocks, (2) reducing the maximum fees that exchanges may charge investors for execution against protected quotations (or “access fee caps” for short); and (3) requiring exchange fees and rebates to be determinable at the time of the execution. In addition, today’s amendments will accelerate the implementation of the “round lot” and “odd-lot information” definitions from the Market Data Infrastructure Rule and add a new “best odd-lot order” data element (or “BOLO”) as part of the odd-lot information definition.

Date 18/09/2024
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced settled charges against Rari Capital, Inc., a supposed decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, and its co-founders, Jai Bhavnani, Jack Lipstone, and David Lucid, for misleading investors and engaging in unregistered broker activity in connection with their operation of two blockchain-based investment platforms that, at their peak, collectively held crypto assets worth more than $1 billion. Rari Capital also settled SEC charges that it conducted unregistered offerings of three securities tied to those platforms. In a separate order, Rari Capital Infrastructure LLC, which took over operations from Rari Capital in 2022, settled charges that it engaged in unregistered securities offerings and unregistered broker activity.

My Take On Tick: Statement On Adoption Of Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees, And Transparency Of Better Priced Orders, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Sept. 18, 2024
Date 18/09/2024
The final rule before the Commission today is a significant improvement over the proposal. It replaces an overly granular set of minimum pricing increments with a more reasonable single additional increment at a half-penny; it replaces a one-month review period for determining each security’s appropriate tick size with a more generous three-month review period and makes adjustments to the minimum tick size for each stock only twice a year, rather than once each quarter. It abandons an ill-advised proposal to mandate minimum trading increments across exchange and off-exchange transactions. It provides a longer implementation period and commits the Commission to conducting a study of the rule’s effects and outlines how the Commission will determine whether the rule has achieved the Commission’s objectives.

Reducing Trading Costs For All Investors, SEC Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga, Sept. 18, 2024
Date 18/09/2024
The Commission is reforming how exchanges quote individual stock prices, the fees investors pay to access orders on exchanges, and the price transparency of smaller orders. In a change from the status quo, the amendments will also provide real-time disclosure of exchanges’ access fees and rebates. The rules governing current market practices have not been updated in almost two decades, but the Commission’s reforms will result in lower transactions costs that benefit all investors.
