TXSE Group Inc announced that its subsidiary, the Texas Stock Exchange LLC (TXSE), has filed a Form 1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to operate as a national securities exchange.
This filing, one of the few submitted by a fully integrated exchange in the past two decades, sets out plans to offer trading, corporate issuer listings, exchange-traded products, auctions and a broad range of data products.
The move comes on the heels of TXSE Group’s completion of its initial capital raise at $161 million, making it the most well-capitalized exchange to ever file a Form 1.
The funding round attracted a diverse mix of founding investors, including major liquidity providers, retail and institutional investors, and business leaders from across the country.
Notable participants include BlackRock, Citadel Securities, Charles Schwab, Dell Family Office Management, Fortress, Jump Trading, Squarepoint, Susquehanna Private Equity Investments, and Tower Research, among others.
This strong backing underscores widespread confidence in TXSE’s strategic vision to enhance competition for listings and trading within the U.S. capital markets.
TXSE aims to improve alignment between issuers and investors while tackling the high costs associated with going and staying public.
The company is advancing the development of an order-matching engine that leverages state-of-the-art technology to deliver performance with predictable speed and low latency, comparable to that of the world’s leading markets.
TXSE Group is working closely with the SEC on its registration, with plans to launch trading operations in early 2026 and commence listings by the end of that year, pending regulatory approval.
In parallel with these regulatory efforts, TXSE is evaluating additional financing options to further accelerate its expansion plans.
The parent company, TXSE Group Inc, is focused on providing a modern, fully electronic venue for U.S. and global companies to access equity capital markets.
If approved by the SEC, the Texas Stock Exchange will offer an innovative alternative for public company listings and the growing universe of exchange-traded products, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of U.S. capital markets.
