Dallas, TX — Nasdaq lit up Texas on March 18, 2025, announcing a new Dallas headquarters to steer its Southeast U.S. and Latin America operations. With NYSE Texas and TXSE already in the ring, the Lone Star State’s financial pulse is racing.
The Details:
Scope: Manages Texas, Southern U.S., and Latin America, per Nasdaq’s X drop.
Scale: 200+ Nasdaq-listed Texas firms hit $1.98 trillion in market cap by December 2024.
Jobs: No firm count yet, but a “client hub” suggests hiring ahead.
Rivals: NYSE Texas reincorporated in Dallas (Feb 2025); TXSE’s $161M stock exchange aims for 2026.
Timeline: Trading opens 2026, exact date pending, says CEO Adena Friedman.
Why It Matters:
Texas’s low-tax, high-growth business climate is pulling giants like Nasdaq from NYC’s grip. With TXSE gunning for Y’all Street and NYSE Texas doubling down, Dallas is staking a claim as America’s next finance capital.
