Regulatory Notice 20-03
Summary
In November 2017, FINRA launched a retrospective review of Rule 5250 (Payments for Market Making), which generally prohibits members from receiving payments for market making, to assess its effectiveness and efficiency.1 The review is part of an ongoing initiative to periodically look back at a rule or set of rules to ensure they remain relevant and are appropriately designed to achieve their regulatory objectives, particularly in light of industry, market and technology changes.
