About $61 billion in total capital was raised during the first half of 2025 on the New York Stock Exchange, according to its parent company, the Intercontinental Exchange.
That amount is up nearly 40 percent 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 largest IPO by capital raised was Venture Global (NYSE: VG), while the IPO with the best price performance was Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL).
Additionally, the NYSE welcomed five transfers so far this year, 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,” Michael Harris, vice chairman and global head of capital markets at the New York Stock Exchange, said. “We look forward to welcoming additional companies to the NYSE community throughout the remainder of the year.”
The NYSE Pillar system has continued to deliver strong performance, particularly in the volatile month of April. 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.
Officials noted that the NYSE listed companies maintained superior market quality throughout the days of heightened market activity, trading with 45 percent tighter spreads and over 20 percent lower volatility.
In addition, NYSE Texas launched earlier this year as the first securities exchange to operate in the State of Texas. It provides 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.
