The New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today reported an industry-leading $61 billion in total capital raised during the first half of 2025, up nearly 40% versus the same period last year.
During the first half of 2025, the NYSE led the industry with an additional $187 billion added to its community’s total market cap. The NYSE has listed the largest IPO by capital raised with Venture Global (NYSE: VG) and IPO with the best price performance from Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL). Additionally, the NYSE has continued its four-year leadership position in operating company transfers welcoming five companies year to date, including Virtu (NYSE: VIRT) and QXO (NYSE: QXO).
"The NYSE continues to maintain a robust pipeline of companies preparing to IPO, with many encouraged by the combination of strong subscription levels, IPO outcomes and after-market performance demonstrated by recent listings," said Michael Harris, Vice Chairman and Global Head of Capital Markets at the New York Stock Exchange. "We look forward to welcoming additional companies to the NYSE community throughout the remainder of the year."
The NYSE Pillar system continued to deliver strong performance as witnessed during volatile market activity in early April 2025. During this period, the NYSE Group set two new total volume records, with a record 6.2 billion shares trading on its exchanges on April 7 and 6.4 billion shares trading on April 9. The NYSE listed companies maintained superior market quality throughout the days of heightened market activity, trading with 45% tighter spreads and over 20% lower volatility.
Building on the NYSE’s over 230 years of experience as the world’s leading exchange operator, NYSE Texas launched earlier this year as the first securities exchange to operate in the State of Texas, offering a new listing and trading venue for companies attracted to the state’s pro-business landscape. Currently, 16 companies from a range of sectors have added a secondary listing on NYSE Texas.
