Commission Statement on Market Structure Innovation for Thinly Traded Securities

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a statement to facilitate the development of innovative proposals designed to improve secondary market trading for equity securities with lower volume. The Commission welcomes proposals that may include the suspension or termination of unlisted trading privileges and exemptive relief from Regulation NMS to address liquidity challenges. Market structure innovations such as heightened market maker obligations, periodic intraday auctions, and negotiated markets are encouraged to enhance liquidity and reduce transaction costs for these securities.
