## Overview
The SEC proposed rescinding two key stock market rules—Rule 611 (the 'Order Protection Rule') and Rule 610(e) (price transparency requirement)—citing unintended consequences that hindered market efficiency after 20 years of implementation.
### TL;DR
- SEC proposes eliminating two core Regulation NMS rules governing order routing and price transparency.
- Justification centers on 'unintended consequences' that allegedly reduced market efficiency over two decades.
- Move reflects regulatory reassessment—not industry pressure or enforcement failure—per official framing.
