Nasdaq rang its closing bell at an oil & gas industry cook-off in Midland today, using the Texas setting to announce its planned Nasdaq Texas launch. Slated to open in 2026, the exchange will join NYSE Texas and the Texas Stock Exchange in competing for pro-growth companies.
TXSE’s launch will spur needed competition and smooth the way for companies to go public, the strategic advisor said at the 2025 Venture Dallas conference. And, over time, he says it will help make Texas America’s ‘center for capital markets’ and become a defining chapter in the state’s economic history, alongside Spindletop and the integrated circuit.
From North Texas founders including John Carmack and Ben Lamm to investors like John Redgrave of DTX Ventures and Draper’s Andy Tang, the summit's speakers tackled hot topics from humanoid robots and tech transfer to AI, VC trends and Y’all Street. A call was also heard for more risk-taking by DFW’s innovation ecosystem: ‘We’ve got to be bravery hunters.’
Texas is home to the largest number of companies listed on the NYSE, representing more than $3.7 trillion in aggregate market value and soon will be home to NYSE Texas’ new headquarters in Dallas.
In a move that serves to counter the planned launch of the Texas Stock Exchange, the NYSE said it will reincorporate NYSE Chicago in Texas and rename it NYSE Texas, with headquarters in Dallas. The news set both Wall Street and Y'all Street buzzing, with Gov. Greg Abbott saying the launch will "cement our great state as an economic powerhouse on the global stage."
