The Texas Stock Exchange commenced trading on Monday, kickstarting the first real test of one of the most well-funded new exchanges to launch in decades.
The Texas Stock Exchange, a Dallas-based startup, is initiating a phased rollout to take place over the course of July. On Monday, the exchange opened to TXSE members, including approved broker-dealers, banks and trading firms, to trade test stocks initially, then the symbols for thousands of stocks and other equities will come online over the course of the month, allowing the public to start trading.
