    It will be interesting to see how this goes. Their competitive advantage seems to be less oversight? Not sure how that will work for investors.

    A group backed by Wall Street heavyweights BlackRock and Citadel Securities is planning to start a new national stock exchange in Texas, aiming to take on what they see as onerous regulation at the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.

    The Texas Stock Exchange, which has raised approximately $120 million from individuals and large investment firms, plans to file registration documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission later this year, CEO James Lee told The Wall Street Journal. The goal is to begin facilitating trades in 2025 and host its first listing in 2026.

    The exchange is aiming to tap in to disaffection with increasing compliance costs at Nasdaq and NYSE and newer rules like one setting targets for board diversity at Nasdaq. Backers of the TXSE, as it is known, pledge it will be more CEO-friendly.

    Also behind the move is a shifting U.S. corporate landscape, with dozens of companies moving to states with more favorable regulatory and taxation policies. Texas is now home to more Fortune 500 companies, including Exxon Mobil, AT&T and American Airlines, than any other state. Goldman Sachs broke ground last year on a Dallas campus that it said could house more than 5,000 employees.

    A TruthSocial stock exchange? Who is going to get rich off of the regular people with this idea? Oh, Blackrock. They have owned my paycheck a few times.

    I'm thinking minority groups, immigrants, and those with incomes under 30K.
