and funded by some big boys such as everyone’s favorite *cough* BlackRock

Texas Stock Exchange to launch trading on Monday in test of upstart’s challenge to Wall Street

quote:

The Texas Stock Exchange will commence 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, will initiate a phased rollout to take place over the course of July.

On Monday, the exchange will open 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.


quote:

Abbott and other state officials have cited the strength of the Texas economy, the eighth largest in the world if it were its own country, as the reason TXSE will succeed where previous exchanges have failed. The second most Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. are headquartered in Texas, leading New York and closely trailing California.


quote:

Hype around TXSE has been building since the June 2024 announcement that the exchange intended to launch with $120 million in backing from large investment firms like BlackRock and Citadel Securities. In the time since that announcement, anticipation has only grown as the exchange received federal approval and received further investments from some of the largest financial institutions in the world, now totaling $275 million


Texas is the eighth largest economy….in the world

This seems like it could work. TX is a very business friendly state and are adding more blue chips by the week.

NYSE and Nasdaq have had a stranglehold on the exchanges. A little competition is healthy IMO. What say you?

Texas is a beehive of activity where Cali is just dormant relying on existing businesses who are moving ops and overtaxed.

Its just crazy every time I drive down how much commerce is happening in Dallas metro

When Mandani passes a trade tax on every exchange in the NYSE, he will be killing off the golden goose. All that equity will start pouring out of New York and right into the largest commercial real estate boom ever seen in Texas and Florida.

Our state serves the purpose of being nothing more than an economic engine now. The culture that once made this state unique compared to everywhere else dwindles further and further with every passing decade. And our government will still invest practically nothing into our tourism sector.

People in Texas need to understand that the globalists have made us a priority. It will not end well for us.

Has he proposed this? Does even have the authority to levy such a tax at the city level? It's the dumbest idea ever but I don't know if he could implement it if he wanted to.

You should be more concerned about all the Muslims in Texas than the commies in NY.

Apparently is already in place but a rebate currently to make net zero. So only thing that needs to happen is repeal the rebate.
From Claude AI

The existing law:
New York State has had a stock transfer tax since 1905, taxing each sale of stock worth over $20 at 5 cents . It’s technically still on the books and applies to the sale or transfer of stock and related securities that occur within New York State . But since 1981, the rebate has been 100% of the tax paid — so brokers pay it, then get it all back, making it revenue-neutral in practice, little more than an administrative hurdle for brokers’ legal teams .
Could it actually bite again?
There’s been real legislative push to eliminate the rebate and start collecting it for real, especially amid budget pressure — a bill has seen growing support in the state Legislature following pandemic-era revenue drops and funding cuts, backed by progressive labor groups and activists, which would end the rebate and let tax authorities collect the revenue again . Estimates on revenue vary wildly: advocates claim up to $13 billion annually, though 2020 data suggests actual collection would be closer to $4 billion .
The city angle: Historically, the tax’s proceeds were diverted to New York City in the 1970s to help with the city’s fiscal crisis before being eliminated in 1981 — so there’s precedent for city benefit, but the tax itself is levied by the state, not the city.

It may be brilliant if Mandami burns down NYC like he appears to be. I would assume Wallstreet employees are getting hammered with taxes that will only go up.

As an aside, I have heard rumors of moving a lot of government agencies out of DC and NVA for similar reasons. The COL is too high to attract quality employees.
