New Exchanges Challenge Nasdaq's Market Share Amid Competitive Landscape
What happened
Nasdaq's exchange business is facing increased competition from new platforms, including MIAX Pearl Equities Exchange and MEMX, which launched in 2020. The Texas Stock Exchange also launched in 2026, offering viable alternatives to established exchanges. While Nasdaq's option exchanges are performing well due to high volume and $0 commission trading platforms, the equity exchange business remains highly competitive and is losing market share steadily.
