Moving The NYSE To Some Other City

Question: Does Wall Street have to be in New York City? Is there a federal law or edict that specifies New York City as the required location?

I know it’s called the New York Stock Exchange, but could it be called the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, or the Dallas Stock Exchange, or the Dubuque Stock Exchange? If it could be moved, how hard would it be?

And how much of a financial blow (if any) would it be to NYC if the stock exchange went somewhere else?

With everything that the commie mayor is doing (including his latest: doxxing private property owners who would be subject to his wealth tax), I often fantasize about ways to cut his legs out from under him. And I thought moving the NYSE to some other city night be an interesting idea, and wondered if it was possible.

    Wherever it goes it has to control local government so the stealing for profit can continue unabated.
    NYC's entire economy has been dependent on the banking/WS cartel for a century.
    Leaving would drive a final nail into the socialist coffin.

    If I'm following the news correctly, big NYC (and other leftist venue) financials are already growing legs and are walking around competitive neighborhoods looking for real estate that is more suitable to their needs. The move doesn't have to be all at once as they establish residences elsewhere to grow and then downsize the old place until it isn't needed anymore and can be closed. Moving an exchange is no different because computerized modern tech can be built anywhere and be accessed from anywhere. As long as these businesses have a place to run to I expect they will eventually flee commie held territory - that is, if they are allowed to run and can get out while they can. IMHO all commies will not admit they adhere to the Stalin and Mao models where guns and gulags are always on the table and will be played when possible.

      Miami is finally becoming the financial hub (this time with "Legit" firms, not just Drug Money, LOL)

        I heard that. My thought are why would they build such a major financial hub in a hurricane zone?

          Um, Texas... LOL.

          But FL is the location of MOST of the Trans-Atlantic Cables that connect the internet/banks around the world. It's already BEEN a major Financial Hub.

          TX is NOT a lot better, if you ask me, LOL.

          Also, where they put these things is usually the BIG NAP (Network Access Point, for the internet). Where they have 911 offices, and tons of backup power.

          But mostly because, we are Officially: The Free State of Florida!

          Thanks to Governor of my lifetime, Mr. Ron DeSantis!

            At this point it comes down to the NAP issue. The "Super Nodes" or access are the only places that it could be set up. Have been in a couple, and they are secured and redundant - but the exchange, regardless of what it is called or where it is located has to be by a node......

    I saw a post either on Facebook or Instagram (which means it may or may not be true) that stated flat out that a good bit of the Financial District is moving to Plano, TX. (I checked, and that's mainly true.)

    Plano is a rapidly-growing suburb of DFW, for those of you who don't know. I lived there for 14 years before we moved to Tulsa, and we moved out at the time Toyota was building their headquarters there. We did well on the sale of our house. The buyers literally did not enter the house (they used a RE agent) until after the sale closed. If we'd waited another six months, we'd have done even better.

    All that to say: Texas treats businesses much better than NY ever did or will.

    Here’s the non-obvious truth:
    The NYSE’s trading doesn’t actually happen on Wall Street anymore.

    Over 99% of trades are executed electronically in massive data centers located in:

    - Mahwah, New Jersey (NYSE primary data center)
    - Chicago (redundancy and cross‑exchange routing)

    The famous trading floor is mostly symbolic and used for media, IPO ceremonies, and a small portion of human-assisted trading.
