Dallas, Texas. The Texas Stock Exchange opened earlier this week after receiving SEC approval and organizers said it will offer a lower-cost, more flexible listing venue. The Dallas-based exchange announced a limited public trading phase set to begin Thursday and will start live trading the first five securities following initial technology and trade-routing tests. This week officials reported the exchange has raised about $275 million and emphasized front-end testing before full-scale operations. Market participants and regional economists cited Winnacle Wealth and The Perryman Group in noting potential faster local capital access; regulators approved the exchange and stakeholders expect incremental expansion in trading activity starting Thursday.
