SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-84313; File No. 10-233]


MIAX EMERALD, LLC; Notice of Filing of Application for 
Registration as a National Securities Exchange Under Section 6 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934

September 28, 2018.
    On August 16, 2018, MIAX EMERALD, LLC (``EMERALD'' or 
``Applicant'') submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') a Form 1 application under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), seeking registration as a national 
securities exchange under Section 6 of the Exchange Act.
    The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on 
EMERALD's Form 1 application. The Commission will take any comments it 
receives into consideration in making its determination about whether 
to grant EMERALD's request to be registered as a national securities 
exchange. The Commission will grant the registration if it finds that 
the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder with respect to EMERALD are satisfied.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Applicant's Form 1 application provides detailed information on 
how EMERALD proposes to satisfy the requirements of the Exchange Act. 
The Form 1 application also provides that EMERALD would operate a fully 
automated electronic trading platform for the trading of listed options 
and would not maintain a physical trading floor. It also provides that 
liquidity would be derived from orders to buy and orders to sell 
submitted to EMERALD electronically by its registered broker-dealer 
members, as well as from quotes submitted electronically by market 
makers. Further, the Form 1 application states that EMERALD would be 
wholly-owned by its parent company, Miami International Holdings, Inc. 
(``Miami Holdings''), which is also the parent company of an two 
existing national securities exchange, Miami International Securities 
Exchange, LLC and MIAX PEARL, LLC.
    A more detailed description of the manner of operation of EMERALD's 
proposed system can be found in Exhibit E to EMERALD's Form 1 
application. The proposed rulebook for the proposed exchange can be 
found in Exhibit B to EMERALD's Form 1 application, and the governing 
documents for both EMERALD and Miami Holdings can be found in Exhibit A 
and Exhibit C to EMERALD's Form 1 application, respectively. A listing 
of the officers and directors of EMERALD can be found in Exhibit J to 
EMERALD's Form 1 application.
    EMERALD's Form 1 application, including all of the Exhibits 
referenced above, is available online at www.sec.gov/rules/other.shtml 
as well as in the Commission's Public Reference Room. Interested 
persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments
