New York Stock Exchange announces NYSE Texas coming to Dallas

‘The Claman Countdown’ panelists Bankim Chadha and Scott Redler analyze market metrics.

New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Texas, “a fully electronic equities exchange,” is coming to Dallas.

The announcement came Wednesday, and stated the NYSE Chicago “will reincorporate in Texas and be renamed NYSE Texas,” providing companies with a new venue to list their securities.

Several high-profile firms, including Elon Musk’s Tesla, and SpaceX, have relocated their headquarters to Texas, attracted by the state’s perceived favorable legal and regulatory environment.

“As the state with the largest number of NYSE listings, representing over $3.7 trillion in market value for our community, Texas is a market leader in fostering a pro-business atmosphere,” Lynn Martin, president of NYSE Group, said in a statement.

“We are delighted to expand our presence in the Lone Star State, which plays a key role in driving our U.S. economy forward” Martin continued.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott met with NYSE leaders on Monday to discuss the launch, local FOX 4 reported.

“With the launch of NYSE Texas, we will expand our financial might in the United States and cement our great state as an economic powerhouse on the global stage,” Abbott said, according to FOX 4.

A potential competitor is already in the works, as the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), a new venture backed by financial giants including BlackRock, Citadel Securities and Charles Schwab, is targeting a 2026 launch after submitting paperwork late last month to operate as a national securities exchange, Reuters reported.

It will also be a fully electronic equity exchange headquartered in Dallas.

“We have known all along that Texas is the best place to do business,” a TXSE spokesperson said in a statement obtained by Reuters following the news. “The Texas Stock Exchange is harnessing this momentum to build a national securities exchange in our home state.”

Top NFL Draft prospect talks value of tight ends as Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert prepare for Super Bowl LIX

NEW ORLEANS – Penn State star and top NFL Draft prospect Tyler Warren is preparing to enter his pro career in just a few short months, but before then, he’ll be able to watch two of the best tight ends in the league battle it out for glory on the biggest stage.

Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of Super Bowl LIX this weekend, Warren shared his thoughts on veteran tight ends Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert and the impact they’ve had not only on the game, but on the value of the position.

“I think his ability to always seem to get open, whether it’s one way or the other way – he knows what he does well, and he keeps doing that,” Warren said of the Kansas City Chiefs star. “It’s not about looking a certain way, it’s about doing it and what works for you.”

“To keep being able to be this elite receiving tight end and do all that for this long of a period is really impressive. I think it speaks to his craft and how he attacks each game.”

Warren went on to praise Goedert’s physicality and versatility, recalling his brutal stiff-arm against Packers cornerback Carrington Valentine, which resulted in 24-yard touchdown in the Eagles’ 22–10 victory over Green Bay in the Wild-Card Round.

“It’s been awesome to watch,” he said. “I think tight ends have really been on [an upward] trend in just their usage, and they’re valuable. It’s been awesome to watch.

Warren is surely hoping the value in tight ends carries over to the draft where he is projected to get selected in the first round.

Warren had a standout year at Penn State, earning the John Mackey Award as the nation’s best tight end. En route to the College Football Playoff semifinal, Mackey finished the season with 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. He rushed for another 218 yards and four touchdowns.

He’s drawn comparisons to some of the NFL’s most elite tight ends, including George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski.

Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24, Warren has made a special commitment to his health and fitness journey by partnering with Planet Fitness.

“When you go there, it could be a guy that’s been going for 20 years, or it could be your first day, and you know there’s going to be a spot for you in there and a welcoming environment,” Warren told Fox News Digital.

Eagles’ Dallas Goedert admits Taylor Swift ‘ain’t on my playlist’ at Super Bowl LIX opening night

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert admitted on Monday during Super Bowl LIX’s opening night that Taylor Swift is not one of the artists on his playlist.

Swift is set to be a topic of conversation during the week with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, competing for his fourth Super Bowl ring and his third straight. Goedert spoke about the pop star as Eagles players chatted with the media.

“Does she sing ‘Don’t go chasing waterfalls?’ She doesn’t? Man,” Goedert said in reference to the TLC hit. “She’s an incredible artist, but she ain’t on my playlist.”

There does not appear to be any “Bad Blood” between Goedert and the Chiefs, but the remark may roil Swifties who have delighted in Kelce being able to participate in the game again.

A lot of the pressure will be off of Swift this time around. The pop star was still on the “Eras Tour” when the Chiefs clinched a berth in the Super Bowl last year. She witnessed the team win the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens but needed to head to Japan for the Asian leg of the tour. She still made it and watched Kansas City go back-to-back.

Swift was not at every Chiefs games this season but showed up when it mattered – the playoffs. She watched the Chiefs top the Houston Texans and narrowly overcome the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.

Cavaliers embarrass Mavericks in 1st game since Dallas’ Luka Doncic trade

The Dallas Mavericks were far from energized in their first game since the team traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and acquired Anthony Davis.

The Mavericks allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers 91 points at halftime and lost the game 144-101.

“Everyone was just locked in even with the trade and everything that was going on today,” Cavs star Evan Mobley said after the game. “We started hot and kept our foot on the gas.”

Sam Merrill added nine 3-pointers for Cleveland. The Cavaliers made 16 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 26 in total.

“We were at 80 (points) with like four minutes left, and I was like, ‘Man, let’s try to get 100,’” Merrill said. “But these games aren’t always easy. I’ve been a part of games where everyone is out, and it’s a close game because it’s hard to have the right mindset in a game like this.

“It’s such a credit to the starters to come out and play the right way and communicate and defend and share the basketball. To get out to that big lead and then the bench guys come in and keep it going. I’ve been a part of some 80s but 90 (at halftime) is crazy.”

It was the closing of a wild day for the Mavericks. Dallas woke up, and its five-time All-Star was abruptly traded to the Lakers.

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison defended the deal before the game.

“I understand why [fans] would be shocked, initially,” Harrison told the Dallas Morning News.

“But I do believe that we positioned ourselves to win now and also win in the future. And that’s ultimately the goal and why we’re here. It’s one of those things where it’s my job to make the tough decisions that put our goals first and foremost.”

Doncic’s $207 million extension is set to expire this year, and he was due for a supermax that was worth over $340 million. Plus, he was soon able to opt out of any other deals. So, Harrison wanted security. Now, he’s not eligible for the supermax anymore.

“We really feel like we got ahead of what was going to be a tumultuous summer, him being eligible for the supermax and also a year away from him being able to opt out of any contract,” Harrison said. “And so we really felt like we got out in front of that. We know teams, they’ve had it out there, teams have been loading up to try to sign him once that comes available.”

Luka Doncic snubs Mavericks in farewell note to Dallas fans after blockbuster trade

Luka Doncic penned a farewell letter to Dallas Mavericks fans on Sunday, hours after the team traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster that shook the NBA world.

The Lakers acquired Doncic and Maxi Kleber in a deal for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a draft pick. The Utah Jazz were also involved in the deal.

Doncic is a five-time All-Star and five-time First Team All-NBA. He’s averaging 28.1 points per game.

He was the face of the Mavericks since the team acquired him in the NBA Draft from the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old is among the up-and-coming stars who are expected to be the face of the league – if not already are. It’s why the trade itself was incredibly stunning.

Doncic thanked the fans for their support. He made no mention of the team itself.

“Seven years ago, I came here as a teenager to pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level,” Doncic wrote. “I thought I’d spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship. The love and support you all have given me is more than I could have ever dreamed of. For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time, you made North Texas feel like home.

“In good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never changed. Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best memories, but also lifting met up when I needed it most.

“To all the organizations I’ve worked with throughout the Dallas community, thank you for letting me contribute to your important work and join you in bringing light to those who need it. As I start the next part of my basketball journey, I am leaving a city that will always feel like a home away from home.

“Dallas is a special place, and Mavs fans are special fans.

“Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”

Doncic will now team up with LeBron James and the Lakers as they pursue another NBA championship.

“Grateful for this amazing opportunity,” he added in a post to his Instagram Stories. “Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy passion and goal – to win championships.”
