Intercontinental Exchange to Dual-List on NYSE Texas, Citing Pro-Business Climate

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange and a major global provider of technology and data, has announced plans to dual-list its shares on NYSE Texas, effective 17 June 2025. The move comes as NYSE Texas, launched earlier this year, positions itself as the first securities exchange operating in the State of Texas, aiming to attract companies drawn to the state’s pro-business environment.

Jeffrey C. Sprecher, ICE Chair & Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Founded 25 years ago and listed on the NYSE for nearly two decades, ICE has consistently worked to stay at the forefront of innovation in capital markets. Supporting the momentum in Texas as Governor Abbott and his team create an environment where companies can thrive, we are delighted to join the community of companies listed on NYSE Texas.”
 

NYSE Texas has already seen ten companies from various sectors opt for dual-listing in its first three months of operation. ICE will maintain its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Intercontinental Exchange is a Fortune 500 company that operates digital networks connecting people to financial opportunities. The group’s operations span futures, equity, and options exchanges—including the NYSE—and clearing houses, providing customers with tools to increase transparency and efficiency in capital markets. ICE is also prominent in energy and environmental product trading and clearing, as well as fixed income, data services, and mortgage technology.
 

Industry observers have noted the strategic significance of ICE’s move. Financial analyst Sarah Thompson remarked, “ICE’s dual-listing on NYSE Texas is a clear endorsement of the state’s growing influence in financial markets, and it may encourage other major firms to follow suit.”
 

On social media, reactions have been largely positive. One market commentator wrote, “Texas is fast becoming a hub for financial innovation. ICE’s decision to dual-list is a testament to the state’s business-friendly policies.”
