NYSE
(New York Stock Exchange)
The NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) is the world's largest stock exchange by market cap ($26.2 trillion in 2023), located on Wall Street. It lists blue-chip companies like Coca-Cola and Walmart through an auction-based system with human specialists.
Founded in 1792, the NYSE merges tradition with tech—hybrid trading combines floor brokers with electronic matching. Unlike NASDAQ's all-electronic model, the NYSE has stricter listing requirements (e.g., $100M market cap). Its benchmark index is the DJIA (Dow Jones), tracking 30 large-cap stocks. The SEC oversees NYSE operations, ensuring fair trading. Meme stock events (e.g., GameStop in 2021) highlighted retail trading's impact on NYSE-listed firms.
