SAN ANTONIO, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq Texas will mark another milestone by ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell at The Alamo, San Antonio, Texas, commemorating the 190th anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo and the full operational launch of Nasdaq Texas following approval of its listing rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This launch provides U.S. public companies with a Texas-based exchange designed to allow issuers to leverage the state’s business-friendly environment while maintaining access to Nasdaq’s suite of services and technology solutions.
