TXSE Group Secures Significant Funding

In a major announcement on October 31, 2025, TXSE Group revealed the completion of its second financing round, successfully raising over $250 million. This funding milestone positions TXSE Group to launch the Texas Stock Exchange in the upcoming first quarter of 2026.

The newly acquired capital comes from a robust backing of global financial institutions, with J.P. Morgan leading as a recent equity investor. This strategic alliance marks J.P. Morgan's involvement on TXSE Group's board of directors, ostensibly enhancing its influence within the Texas financial landscape.

A New Era for U.S. Capital Markets

James H. Lee, the founder and CEO of TXSE Group, expressed enthusiasm regarding the funding, stating, "Our strong capital position validates our mission to bring increased competition to the U.S. capital markets." The primary aim of the Texas Stock Exchange is to foster transparency and alignment, thereby redefining the public market landscape in the region and aiding Texas in positioning itself as a global capital market leader.

TXSE Group's rise is not just about the funds; it represents a formidable coalition of institutional support. Alongside J.P. Morgan, some notable investors include:

• - BlackRock, the world's largest institutional asset manager, commanding over $13.5 trillion in assets under management.
• - Charles Schwab, recognized as the leading retail broker with $11.6 trillion in client assets.
• - Citadel Securities, a premier liquidity provider, accounting for over 25% of U.S. equity trades.

Collectively, these investors comprise an extensive network of 82 institutions, including major players in various sectors that hold significant shares in TXSE Group. This coalition not only amplifies TXSE's credibility but also underscores its ambition of reshaping the landscape of U.S. capital markets.

TXSE: A Game-Changer for Listings and Trading

By establishing itself as the most funded equities exchange ever approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, TXSE Group is set to initiate trading operations in early 2026. Following the launch, the exchange plans to introduce a diverse array of exchange-traded products (ETPs) and additional corporate issues throughout the year, providing a platform for increased investor choice and improved market efficiency.

In conjunction with the Texas Stock Exchange, TXSE Group is also the parent company of Oculon Intelligence, an innovative AI-driven market intelligence platform. Oculon is designed to enhance capability in regulatory reporting, execution analytics, and market surveillance across equities and options, reinforcing TXSE's commitment to modernizing market operations.

With its strategic emphasis on accessibility and competition, TXSE Group aims to establish the Texas Stock Exchange as a premier venue for listings and trading, catering to a broad spectrum of U.S. and global companies seeking to penetrate the equity capital markets. As the launch date approaches, the anticipation is building among market participants, fostering a vision of an evolving financial ecosystem rooted in innovation and competitiveness.
