I don't make the rules

OTC Market (Microcap Stock) – Changes to SEC Rule 15c2-11
INTRODUCTION

On September 28, 2021, amendments to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11 became effective. These regulatory changes prohibit broker-dealers such as IBKR from displaying or submitting quotes (i.e., bids or offers) for securities of issuers that have not met public reporting requirements. The amendments to the Rule effectively eliminate the ability of market makers to quote in OTC securities of issuers that fail to keep certain information current and make that information publicly available. We expect that this will result in a significant reduction in the liquidity of these products. Additionally, certain securities will be reclassified to the OTC “Grey Market” tier. Broker-dealers are prohibited from publishing quotes for Grey Market securities and these securities may become completely illiquid as a result.
