Description
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend Rule General 8 Connectivity. The amendment involves removing certain connectivity services and market data feeds that are no longer in use by customers, as well as updating terminology for technical specifications to reflect current industry standards. The changes aim to improve clarity and transparency of the connectivity fee schedule without impacting current users, as the removed services have no active subscribers. The proposal is intended to promote just and equitable principles of trade and protect investors and the public interest.
