Texas and its neighboring southeastern states are at the forefront of economic and population growth in the U.S., making them the optimal location for a new national securities exchange. James Lee, founder and CEO of TXSE Group Inc., opined: “We’re thrilled to bring to fruition the long-held vision for a national stock exchange in Texas.” The executive elaborated:

Texas and the other states in the southeast quadrant have become economic powerhouses. Combined with the demand we are seeing from investors and corporations for expanded alternatives to trade and list equities, this is an opportune time to build a major, national stock exchange in Texas.
