Is the NYSE or Nasdaq larger? Any other US markets of note?

As you may have guessed, the ramp in tech stocks has helped propel the Nasdaq past the NYSE.

Since 2008, the two have been the only primary listing venues in the US, together accounting for virtually 100% of the country’s public equities — worth more than $67 trillion, per data from the World Federation of Exchanges. The tech-friendly Nasdaq, which controlled less than a third of that in 2000, now commands more than half (52%), powered by Big Tech’s relentless rally.

Texas’ plan is to spoil New York’s party, pledging to reduce “the burden of going and staying public,” likely meaning simpler, cheaper listing standards and fewer compliance hurdles than its rivals. The state has been doubling down on efforts to lure Corporate America, launching a new business court system last year to compete with the Chancery Court of Delaware, a state that houses most S&P 500 companies.

But TXSE won’t be ’lone in Texas: in February, the NYSE said it’s reincorporating its Chicago exchange into “NYSE Texas,” based in Dallas, while the Nasdaq announced plans to open a regional headquarters there in March.
