(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on December 1, 2021, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange''
or ``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'' or ``EDGX
Equities'') proposes to amend its Fee Schedule. 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 (http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/) [sic], 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.

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 its Fee Schedule applicable to its
equities trading platform (``EDGX Equities'') to (1) add a new Growth
Tier 4, and (2) modify the Remove Volume Tier 1, effective December 1,
2021.
    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of 16 registered equities exchanges, as well as a
number of alternative trading systems and other off-exchange venues
that do not have similar self-regulatory responsibilities under the
Exchange Act, to which market participants may direct their order flow.
Based on publicly available information,\3\ no single registered
equities exchange has more than 16% of the market share. Thus, in such
a low-concentrated and highly competitive market, no single equities
exchange possesses significant pricing power in the execution of order
flow. The Exchange in particular operates a ``Maker-Taker'' model
whereby it pays rebates to members that add liquidity and assesses fees
to those that remove liquidity. The Exchange's Fee Schedule sets forth
the standard rebates and rates applied per share for orders that
provide and remove liquidity, respectively. Currently, for orders in
securities priced at or above $1.00, the Exchange

provides a standard rebate of $0.00160 per share for orders that add
liquidity and assesses a fee of $0.0030 per share for orders that
remove liquidity. For orders in securities priced below $1.00, the
Exchange provides a standard rebate of $0.00009 per share for orders
that add liquidity and assesses a fee of 0.30% of total dollar value
for orders that remove liquidity. Additionally, in response to the
competitive environment, the Exchange also offers tiered pricing which
provides Members opportunities to qualify for higher rebates or reduced
fees where certain volume criteria and thresholds are met. Tiered
pricing provides an incremental incentive for Members to strive for
higher tier levels, which provides increasingly higher benefits or
discounts for satisfying increasingly more stringent criteria.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Cboe Global Markets, U.S. Equities Market Volume
Summary, Month-to-Date (November 29, 2021), available at https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/market_statistics/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under footnote 1 of the Fee Schedule the Exchange currently offers
various Add/Remove Volume Tiers. In particular, the Exchange offers
three Growth Tiers that each provide an enhanced rebate for Members'
qualifying orders yielding fee codes B,\4\ V,\5\ Y,\6\ 3 \7\ and 4,\8\
where a Member reaches certain add volume-based criteria, including
``growing'' its volume over a certain baseline month. Currently, the
Growth Tiers are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``B'' are orders adding liquidity
to EDGX (Tape B).
    \5\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``V'' are orders adding liquidity
to EDGX (Tape A).
    \6\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``Y'' are orders adding liquidity
to EDGX (Tape C).
    \7\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``3'' are orders adding liquidity
to EDGX in the pre and post market (Tapes A or C).
    \8\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``4'' are orders adding liquidity
to EDGX in the pre and post market (Tape B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Growth Tier 1 provides a rebate of $0.0026 per share to
qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, Y, 3, or 4)
where (1) the Member adds an ADV \9\ equal to or greater than 0.20% of
the TCV; \10\ and (2) the Member has a Step-Up Add TCV \11\ from August
2021 equal to or greater than 0.10% of [sic] the Member adds a Step-Up
ADAV \12\ from August 2021 equal to or greater than 8 million shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ ``ADAV'' means average daily added volume calculated as the
number of shares added per day and ``ADV'' means average daily
volume calculated as the number of shares added to, removed from, or
routed by, the Exchange, or any combination or subset thereof, per
day. ADAV and ADV is calculated on a monthly basis.
    \10\ ``TCV'' means total consolidated volume calculated as the
volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to a
consolidated transaction reporting plan for the month for which the
fees apply.
    \11\ ``Step-Up Add TCV'' means ADAV as a percentage of TCV in
the relevant baseline month subtracted from current ADAV as a
percentage of TCV.
    \12\ ``Step-Up ADAV'' means ADAV in the relevant baseline month
subtracted from current ADAV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Growth Tier 2 provides a rebate of $0.0027 per share to
qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, Y, 3, or 4)
where (1) the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV from June 2021 equal to or
greater than 0.10% of the TCV or the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV from
June 2021 equal to or greater than 8 million; and (2) the Member has a
total remove ADV equal to or greater than 0.70% of TCV.
     Growth Tier 3 provides a rebate of $0.0030 per share to
qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, Y, 3, or 4)
where (1) the Member has a Step-Up Add TCV from January 2021 equal to
or greater than 0.10%; (2) the Member adds an ADV equal to or greater
than 0.50% of the TCV; and (3) the Member removes an ADV equal to or
greater than 0.75% of the TCV.
    Now, the Exchange proposes to add Growth Tier 4 as follows:
     Proposed Growth Tier 4 provides a rebate of $0.0034 per
share to qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, Y, 3,
or 4) where (1) the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV from October 2021 equal
to or greater than 0.10% of the TCV or the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV
from October 2021 equal to or greater than 10 million shares; and (2)
the Member has a total remove ADV equal to or greater than 0.60% of
TCV.
    Under footnote 1 of the Fee Schedule the Exchange also currently
offers two Remove Volume Tiers that each provide an enhanced rebate for
Members' qualifying orders yielding fee codes BB,\13\ N,\14\ and W \15\
where a Member reaches certain remove volume-based criteria. Currently,
the Remove Volume Tiers are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``BB'' are orders removing
liquidity from EDGX (Tape B).
    \14\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``N'' are orders removing
liquidity from EDGX (Tape C).
    \15\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``W'' are orders removing
liquidity from EDGX (Tape A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Remove Volume Tier 1 provides a reduced fee of $0.00275
per share in securities at or above $1.00 and 0.28% of total dollar
value in securities priced below $1.00 to qualifying orders (i.e.,
orders yielding fee codes BB, NN, or W) where (1) the Member adds a
Step-Up ADAV from June 2021 equal to or greater than 0.10% of the TCV
or the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV from June 2021 equal to or greater
than 8 million shares; and (2) the Member has a total remove ADV equal
to or greater than 0.70% of the TCV.
     Remove Volume Tier 2 provides a reduced fee of $0.00275
per share in securities at or above $1.00 and 0.28% of total dollar
value in securities priced below $1.00 to qualifying orders (i.e.,
orders yielding fee codes BB, NN, or W) where (1) the Member has an
ADAV equal to or greater than 0.25% of TCV with displayed orders that
yield fee codes B, V or Y; or (2) the Member adds Retail Order ADV
(i.e., yielding fee code ZA) equal to or greater than 0.45% of the TCV.
    Now, the Exchange proposes to modify Remove Volume Tier 1 as
follows:
     Proposed Remove Volume Tier 1 provides a reduced fee of
$0.00275 per share in securities at or above $1.00 and 0.28% of total
dollar value in securities priced below $1.00 to qualifying orders
(i.e., orders yielding fee codes BB, NN, or W) where (1) the Member
adds a Step-Up ADAV from June 2021 equal to or greater than 0.10% of
the TCV or the Member adds a Step-Up ADAV from June 2021 equal to or
greater than 8 million shares; and (2) the Member has a total remove
ADV equal to or greater than 0.60% (instead of 0.70%) of the TCV.
    The proposed amendment to the Remove Volume Tier 1 would lessen the
difficulty of the existing criteria while keeping the reduced fee the
same.
    Overall, the proposed new Growth Tier and the amendments to the
Remove Volume Tier are designed to provide Members with an opportunity
to receive an enhanced rebate or reduced fee by increasing their order
flow to the Exchange, which further contributes to a deeper, more
liquid market and provides even more execution opportunities for active
market participants. Incentivizing an increase in liquidity adding or
removing volume, through enhanced rebate or reduced fee opportunities,
encourages liquidity adding Members on the Exchange to contribute to a
deeper, more liquid market, and liquidity executing Members on the
Exchange to increase transactions and take execution opportunities
provided by such increased liquidity, together providing for overall
enhanced price discovery and price improvement opportunities on the
Exchange. As such, increased overall order flow benefits all Members by
contributing towards a robust and well-balanced market ecosystem.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\16\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\17\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Members
and issuers and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange also
believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \18\ requirements that the rules of an
exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
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,
and, particularly, is not designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. The proposed rule changes
reflect a competitive pricing structure designed to incentivize market
participants to direct their order flow to the Exchange, which the
Exchange believes would enhance market quality to the benefit of all
Members. Additionally, the Exchange notes that relative volume-based
incentives and discounts have been widely adopted by exchanges,\19\
including the Exchange,\20\ and are reasonable, equitable and non-
discriminatory because they are open to all Members on an equal basis
and provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably
related to (i) the value to an exchange's market quality and (ii)
associated higher levels of market activity, such as higher levels of
liquidity provision and/or growth patterns. Competing equity exchanges
offer similar tiered pricing structures, including schedules of rebates
and fees that apply based upon members achieving certain volume and/or
growth thresholds, as well as assess similar fees or rebates for
similar types of orders, to that of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See BZX Equities Fee Schedule, Footnote 1, Add/Remove
Volume Tiers.
    \20\ See EDGX Equities Fee Schedule, Footnote 1, Add/Remove
Volume Tiers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed Growth Tier 4 and
the proposed change to the Remove Volume Tier 1 are reasonable because
the Tiers will be available to all Members and provide all Members with
an additional opportunity to receive an enhanced rebate or reduced fee.
The Exchange further believes the proposed Growth Tier 4 will provide a
reasonable means to encourage overall growth in Members' order flow to
the Exchange and to incentivize Members to continue to provide
liquidity adding volume to the Exchange by offering them an additional
opportunity to receive an enhanced rebate on qualifying orders.
Similarly, the Exchange believes the Remove Volume Tier 1, even as
amended, will provide a reasonable means to encourage overall growth in
Members' order flow to the Exchange and to incentivize Members to
continue to add and remove liquidity on the Exchange by offering them
an additional opportunity to receive a reduced fee on qualifying
orders. An overall increase in activity would deepen the Exchange's
liquidity pool, offers additional cost savings, support the quality of
price discovery, promote market transparency and improve market
quality, for all investors.
    Further, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes are
reasonable as it does not represent a significant departure from the
criteria currently offered in the Fee Schedule. For example, the
Exchange notes similar criteria is offered under the existing Growth
Tiers and the change to the Remove Volume Tier 1 slightly lessens the
difficulty of achieving the Tier. Additionally, the Exchange believes
that the proposed enhanced rebate under Growth Tier 4 and reduced fee
under the Remove Volume Tier 1, which is not being changed, continues
to be commensurate with the new criteria.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposal represents an
equitable allocation of fees and rebates and is not unfairly
discriminatory because all Members will be eligible for Growth Tier 4
and will continue to be eligible for the Remove Volume Tier 1 and have
the opportunity to meet each Tier's criteria and receive the
corresponding enhanced rebate or reduced fee if such criteria is met.
Without having a view of activity on other markets and off-exchange
venues, the Exchange has no way of knowing whether this proposed rule
change would definitely result in any Members qualifying for Growth
Tier 4 or the Remove Volume Tier 1, as amended. While the Exchange has
no way of predicting with certainty how the proposed changes will
impact Member activity, the Exchange anticipates that at least one
Member will be able to satisfy the criteria proposed under each
proposed tier. The Exchange also notes that proposed changes will not
adversely impact any Member's ability to qualify for reduced fees or
enhanced rebates offered under other tiers. Should a Member not meet
the proposed new criteria, the Member will merely not receive that
corresponding enhanced rebate.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Rather, as discussed above, the
Exchange believes that the proposed change would encourage the
submission of additional order flow to a public exchange, thereby
promoting market depth, execution incentives and enhanced execution
opportunities, as well as price discovery and transparency for all
Members. As a result, the Exchange believes that the proposed change
furthers the Commission's goal in adopting Regulation NMS of fostering
competition among orders, which promotes ``more efficient pricing of
individual stocks for all types of orders, large and small.''
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change does not impose any
burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Particularly, the proposed
changes to the Remove Volume Tier 1 and the proposed Growth Tier 4
apply to all Members equally in that all Members are eligible for each
of the Tiers, have a reasonable opportunity to meet the Tiers' criteria
and will receive the enhanced rebate or reduced fee on their qualifying
orders if such criteria is met. The Exchange does not believe the
proposed changes burdens competition, but rather, enhances competition
as it is intended to increase the competitiveness of EDGX by adding a
new pricing incentive and amending an existing pricing incentive in
order to attract order flow and incentivize participants to increase
their participation on the Exchange, providing for additional execution
opportunities for market participants and improved price transparency.
Greater overall order flow, trading opportunities, and pricing
transparency benefits all market participants on the Exchange by
enhancing market quality and continuing to encourage Members to send
orders, thereby contributing towards a robust and well-balanced market
ecosystem.
    Next, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change does not
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously discussed, the
Exchange operates in a highly competitive market. Members have numerous
alternative venues that they may participate on and direct their order
flow, including other equities exchanges, off-exchange venues, and
alternative trading systems. Additionally, the Exchange represents a
small percentage of the overall market. Based on publicly available
information, no single equities exchange has more than 16% of the
market share.\21\ Therefore, no exchange possesses significant pricing
power in the execution of order flow. Indeed, participants can readily
choose to send their orders to other exchange and off-exchange venues
if they deem fee levels at those other venues to be more favorable.
Moreover, the Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for
competition over regulatory intervention in determining prices,
products, and services in the securities markets. Specifically, in
Regulation NMS, the Commission highlighted the importance of market
forces in determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized
that current regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably
successful in promoting market competition in its broader forms that
are most important to investors and listed companies.'' \22\ The fact
that this market is competitive has also long been recognized by the
courts. In NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C.
Circuit stated as follows: ``[n]o one disputes that competition for
order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S.
national market system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the
broker-dealers that act as their order-routing agents, have a wide
range of choices of where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no
exchange can afford to take its market share percentages for granted'
because `no exchange possesses a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in
the execution of order flow from broker dealers'. . . .''.\23\
Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its proposed fee change
imposes any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
