SEC Approves Texas Stock Exchange, Clearing Path for 2026 Launch

Backers pitch a pro-business Texas base plus lighter listing burdens to lure issuers from incumbent venues.

Overview

  • The SEC designation makes TXSE the first new fully integrated U.S. stock exchange in decades and the only one based in Texas.
  • TXSE says it will start trading stocks and exchange-traded products by early 2026, with corporate listings to follow that year.
  • The Dallas venture is backed by BlackRock, Citadel Securities and Charles Schwab, and it previously raised about $120 million from more than two dozen investors.
  • Executives say the exchange will target issuers in energy, technology and manufacturing while seeking to ease the costs and requirements of going public.
  • Incumbents are bolstering their Texas presence, with the NYSE opening a state outpost that named Trump Media & Technology as its first listed company there and Nasdaq planning a regional headquarters.
