Class action lawsuit filed in 2021 against Steam’s 30% cut and alleged antitrust behavior
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is constantly working to protect investors and maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets. One of the ways they do this is by monitoring and regulating securities exchanges to ensure they are operating in compliance with federal securities laws.
Recently, the SEC has been focusing on the issue of market data fees charged by exchanges. These fees are for the information that investors and traders need to make informed decisions about buying and selling stocks. The concern is that these fees may be too high and could be limiting competition in the securities markets.
In response to these concerns, the SEC has proposed a set of new rules that would require exchanges to be more transparent about their fee structures and would give them less discretion in setting fees. The goal is to ensure that market data fees are fair and reasonable, and that investors have access to the information they need without being overcharged.
The SEC is currently seeking public feedback on these proposals, so if you have thoughts or concerns about market data fees, now is the time to share them. Your input could help shape the future of securities regulation and ensure that markets remain fair and efficient for all investors. Stay tuned for updates as the SEC continues to work on this important issue.
