New York Stock Exchange is Launching NYSE Texas

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced this week that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will launch NYSE Texas, a fully electronic equities exchange headquartered in Dallas. A subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), the launch marks a significant expansion of Texas’ financial sector, reinforcing Texas' growing influence in the national and global economy.

The announcement described that NYSE Chicago will be reincorporated in Texas and renamed NYSE Texas, pending regulatory approval. This strategic shift aligns with Texas’ pro-business policies and favorable regulatory environment, which have already attracted major corporations and financial institutions in recent years.

In a statement, Governor Abbott expressed that “Texas is the most powerful economy in the nation, and now we will become the financial capital of America." "With the launch of NYSE Texas, we will expand our financial might in the United States and cement our great state as an economic powerhouse on the global stage," he added.

"I thank the New York Stock Exchange for choosing Texas. Working together, we will continue to advance pro-growth economic policies that allow entrepreneurs and businesses to thrive and will make Texas stronger and more prosperous than ever in the history of our great state.”

The announcement follows the Texas governor's meeting with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Founder, Chairman, and CEO Jeffrey Sprecher, along with NYSE Group President Lynn Martin, to discuss NYSE Texas' potential impact on local and global businesses.

The exchange is also expected to bring new investment opportunities, job growth, and financial services expansion to Texas, further diversifying Texas' economy beyond its traditional influence in energy, technology, and manufacturing.

NYSE Texas will operate as a fully electronic exchange, and it will provide a competitive alternative to existing trading platforms. The launch also positions the Lone Star state to become a major financial hub to rival Wall Street.
