Regional stock exchanges of the United States
 |
A regional stock exchange is a term used in the United States to describe stock exchanges that operates outside of the country's main financial center in New York City. A regional stock exchange operates in the trading of listed and over-the-counter (OTC) equities under the SEC's Unlisted Trading Privileges (UTP) rule.
Current
Regional exchanges currently registered with the SEC include:
- Boston Stock Exchange (BSE or BSX), acquired by NASDAQ in 2007
- CBOE Stock Exchange (CBSX)
- Chicago Stock Exchange (CHX)
- National Stock Exchange (NSX)
- Pacific Stock Exchange (PSE), acquired by NYSE in 2006
- Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX), the nation's first stock exchange, acquired by NASDAQ in 2007
The Boston and Philadelphia Stock Exchanges were both acquired by NASDAQ in 2007, and the Pacific Exchange acquired in 2006 by the New York Stock Exchange, thus ending their identities as separate stock exchanges.[citation needed]
The Cincinnati Stock Exchange moved to Chicago and changed its name to the National Stock Exchange. It moved again to its current location in Jersey City, New Jersey.
