The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been in a comment period for four proposals as well as to finalize amendments to Rule 10b5-1. The scope of the proposed rules is far reaching and contains market structure changes that would affect all market participants, from wholesale firms to exchanges, ATSs, retail brokers and investors. While most of the proposals focus on equity market structure, the Commission’s proposed Regulation Best Execution mandate would apply to all securities including bonds, options, ETFs, and crypto securities.
Some key elements of their proposals include:
