OVER VIEW Nasdaq is a leading technology platform that powers the world’s economies. We architect the infrastructure of the world’s most modern markets, power the innovation economy, and build trust in the financial system.

We manage, operate and provide our products and services in three business segments: Capital Access Platforms, Financial Technology and Market Services. HISTORY Nasdaq was founded in 1971 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FINRA. Beginning in 2000, FINRA restructured and broadened ownership in Nasdaq by selling shares to FINRA members, investment companies and issuers listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In connection with this restructuring, FINRA fully divested its ownership of Nasdaq in 2006, and The Nasdaq Stock Market became an independent registered national securities exchange in 2007. In February 2008, Nasdaq and OMX AB combined their businesses, leading to a transformational combination and expansion of our company from a U.S.-based exchange operator to a global exchange company offering technology that powers our own exchanges and markets as well as many other marketplaces around the world. Further, our transformation into a leading technology platform that powers the world’s economies gained momentum with the 2021 acquisition of Verafin, followed by the 2023 acquisition of Adenza and its two flagship solutions, AxiomSL and Calypso.
