Texas Stock Exchange celebrates official launch of trading 

The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) celebrated the successful launch of production trading with a bell ceremony at its Dallas headquarters, marking the completion of the phased rollout of all National Market System symbols on its platform.

Over 18 months, TXSE built a custom order-matching engine and delivered a fully integrated exchange. With more than 50 member firms, TXSE launched full-production trading, achieving the broadest day-one participation of any exchange launch in a half century.

TXSE Chairman and CEO James H Lee said, “Today is a watershed moment for the state of Texas and America’s capital markets. TXSE is now firmly a part of the global market structure. Our state-of-the-art platform is pure infrastructure built to support what comes next — real competition for primary listings for the first time in decades.”
