September 25, 2025.

Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”),[1] and Rule 608 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on September 24, 2025, the Participants [3] in the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the Collection, Consolidation and Dissemination of Quotation and Transaction Information for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Traded on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privileges Basis (the “UTP Plan”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) a proposal to amend the UTP Plan. The amendment represents the Fifty-Fourth Amendment to the UTP Plan (“Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the Participants propose to add 24X National Exchange LLC (“24X”) as a Participant to the UTP Plan.[4]

The proposed Amendment has been filed by the Participants pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3)(ii) under Regulation NMS [5] as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan and as a “Ministerial Amendment” under Section XVI of the UTP Plan. As a result, the Amendment can be submitted by the Chair of the UTP Plan's Operating Committee and becomes effective upon filing.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the Amendment from interested persons. Set forth in Sections I and II is the statement of the purpose and summary of the Amendment, along with the information required by Rules 608(a) and 601(a) under the Act, as prepared and submitted by the Participants.

1. Purpose of the Amendments

The above-captioned amendment adds 24X as a Participant to the UTP Plan.

2. Governing or Constituent Documents

3. Implementation of Amendments

Because the amendment constitutes a “Ministerial Amendment” under Section XVI of the UTP Plan, the Chair of the UTP Plan's Operating Committee may submit the amendment to the Commission on behalf of the Participants in the UTP Plan. Because the Participants designate the amendment as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan, the amendment becomes effective upon filing with the Commission.

4. Development and Implementation Phases

Not applicable.

5. Analysis of Impact on Competition

The amendment does not impose any burden on competition because it simply adds 24X as a Participant to the UTP Plan. 24X has completed the required steps to be added to the UTP Plan.
