What Miami International does

Operates US options and equities exchanges (MIAX Options, MIAX Pearl, MIAX Emerald) providing electronic trading and market data.

Earns a fee on each options contract traded and rebates part of it to market makers who post prices, so the net amount kept per contract is what matters, with market data and connection charges adding a steadier layer. It competes with many other US options exchanges for the same order flow.
