Nasdaq Texas to List Exchange-Traded Products
On May 4, 2026 Nasdaq Texas filed rules to allow many types of Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) to be listed and traded under a new Rule 5700 Series that is substantially identical to Nasdaq's ETP rules. This gives issuers an additional venue to list ETPs and may increase the number of ETPs and trading opportunities available to investors once the Commission acts.
Initial Dual-Listing Requirement Only
The Exchange intends initially to accept only securities (including ETPs) that are dually listed — meaning they must already be listed on another national securities exchange. The filing notes the Exchange expects to later modify its rules to allow primary listings, but for now issuers cannot use Nasdaq Texas as a primary listing venue.
ETP Surveillance and Halt Protections
Listed ETPs would be monitored by the Exchange and by FINRA cross-market surveillances, and the Exchange may declare Regulatory Halts in certain cases. Examples include halting index warrants when underlying stocks representing 20% or more of the index are halted, halting ETPs when an intraday indicative value or index value stops being disseminated, and halting when net asset value or disclosed portfolio information is not available to all market participants.
