NYSE Texas has officially opened for business, becoming the first securities exchange to operate in Texas—with Trump Media & Technology Group revealed as the first company to be listed on it. The announcement was made by the New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange Inc.
In February, Dallas Innovates wrote about the NYSE’s plan to take on “Y’all Street” by launching NYSE Texas from Dallas. The news comes amid the Texas Stock Exchange’s ongoing plans to launch out of Dallas in 2026 and the New York-based Nasdaq Stock Market planning a new regional HQ in Dallas.
“We’re thrilled to open NYSE Texas to corporate issuers and to welcome Trump Media & Technology Group to our NYSE community through a NYSE Texas listing,” NYSE Group President Lynn Martin said in a statement. “This new offering, which we announced just last month, will allow companies to capitalize on the pro-business dynamics in Texas. We applaud Trump Media, Gov. Abbott and the state of Texas on their commitment to supporting the innovation of U.S. capital markets.”
The state of Texas is home to the largest number of companies listed on the NYSE—representing more than $3.7 trillion in aggregate market value—and Dallas will soon be the home of NYSE Texas’ new headquarters, the company said. NYSE Texas builds on the NYSE’s more than 230 year of experience and now provides a listing exchange to companies attracted to Texas’ growing population, strong economy and business-friendly environment, the company added.
“We’re honored to become the initial listing for NYSE Texas, which is a great fit for TMTG as we diversify into financial services and other realms,” TMTG Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes said in a statement. “Texas provides a fantastic climate for business and entrepreneurship that aligns with TMTG’s mission. This listing, alongside our plans to reincorporate in Florida, shows we’re part of a growing movement to take our business to states that value free enterprise and personal freedom.”
Trump Media and Technology Group will continue its existing primary listing and be dually listed on NYSE Texas under the symbol “DJT,” the exchange said.
