The all-electronic NYSE Arca relies on a system of competing Market Makers to provide a fast, efficient, and consistent marketplace for all participants, including liquidity providers. Market Makers are required to maintain adequate minimum capital and continuous, two-sided identified and displayed quotes for all registered securities during Core Trading Hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET). They also clear and settle transactions through a registered clearing agency.
NYSE Arca appoints Lead Market Makers (LMMs) for ETPs (Exchange Traded Products) with a primary listing on the exchange to meet defined obligations in exchange for incentives such as lower transaction fees.

Once a trade has been executed, trade details are transmitted to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC®) / National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC®) for clearance and settlement via their Universal Trade Capture (UTC) processing stream. All trading transactions are transmitted to DTCC / NSCC electronically in real time matching the details of the trades from both the buyer and the seller into one deal record. These transactions are considered "locked in" executions.

Beginning in November 2024 for the October billing cycle, Direct Debit via DTCC (“Direct Debit”) is the default payment method for Exchange fees.
The Exchange will send monthly electronic invoices, generally by the fifth business day of each month, for fees or rebates generated in the prior month.
The Exchange will subsequently initiate the debit of any fees due to the Exchange for the prior month on or about the 15th day of the month.
Firms can dispute an invoice in writing by the 15th of the month or the following business day if the 15th is not a business day. If the disputed amount is $10,000 or greater, the Exchange will not include the disputed amount in the debit pending resolution of the dispute.
Credit balances will be paid by the Exchange via wire transfer.
Firms may opt out of Direct Debit by completing this form and returning it to [email protected].
Firms with multiple MPIDs must contact [email protected] to establish a default billing MPID and associated DTCC number, from which firm level fees will be collected.
