Texas Stock Exchange Backed by Blackrock, Citadel Securities
TXSE Group Inc. announced on Wednesday that it is launching the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) in Dallas, supported by leading financial institutions. The company “successfully completed its initial capital raise with participation from more than two dozen investors, including some of the largest financial institutions and liquidity providers in the world, such as Blackrock and Citadel Securities, as well as prominent business leaders from around the country,” the announcement explains, adding:
TXSE will focus on enabling U.S. and global companies to access U.S. equity capital markets and will provide a venue to trade and list public companies and the growing universe of exchange-traded products.
The new Texas Stock Exchange’s impending debut aligns with shifting dynamics in the equity markets that are paving the way for increased competition and alignment. As corporate issuers and sponsors of ETPs call for enhanced stability and predictability in listing standards and costs, TXSE aims to broaden access to U.S. capital markets for all investors and improve market accessibility for public companies and entities seeking public capital.
“With approximately $120 million of capital raised, TXSE is expected to be the most well-capitalized exchange entrant to file a registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,” the announcement adds, noting that the exchange plans to submit a registration with the SEC as a national securities exchange later this year. “TXSE will be a fully electronic, national securities exchange that will seek registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,” the company clarified.
Texas and its neighboring southeastern states are at the forefront of economic and population growth in the U.S., making them the optimal location for a new national securities exchange. James Lee, founder and CEO of TXSE Group Inc., opined: “We’re thrilled to bring to fruition the long-held vision for a national stock exchange in Texas.” The executive elaborated:
Texas and the other states in the southeast quadrant have become economic powerhouses. Combined with the demand we are seeing from investors and corporations for expanded alternatives to trade and list equities, this is an opportune time to build a major, national stock exchange in Texas.
