March 31, 2023 By Email Vanessa A. Countryman Secretary U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 205499–1090 rule- RE: File No. S7-30-22; Release No. 34-96494; Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees, and Transparency of Better Priced Orders Ms. Countryman: I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees, and Transparency of Better Priced Orders Rule Proposal. A fair market exists only when there is a standard minimum price increment that everyone executes trades in. Different minimum price increments for broker-dealers leads to unfair advantages. Additionally, more enforcement and higher penalties are needed to prevent fraudulent behavior in the markets. I support the Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees, and Transparency of Better Priced Orders rule. Sincerely, Chris Keturakis
