Lynn Martin, President of the NYSE Group, discussed the role of public markets in funding AI and other technological revolutions, stating that "the public markets are the only markets to generate the type of capital for the medium to long term on a consistent basis that is required for every revolution." She added that a healthy public market requires a healthy private market, as private incubation stages feed into public offerings. Martin also commented on the Trump administration's investment accounts for young people, saying they are "great from two perspectives," promoting financial literacy and creating a generation with "a stake in America." Martin questioned rule changes made by the Nasdaq to attract a listing from SpaceX, saying that "market integrity is not something that is a competitive dynamic" and that some of the rules are "questionable." She emphasized that protecting investors, particularly retail investors, is the NYSE's priority. Martin noted that the NYSE has seen a strong year for IPOs across multiple sectors, including industrials, energy, and consumer names, and that the exchange has "no intention of leaving New York City."
“I think that the public markets are the only markets to generate the type of capital for the medium to long term on a consistent basis that is required for every revolution. But I think importantly a healthy public market needs a healthy private market. So all of the incubation stages, even the large funding rounds tha...”
“The Trump accounts with the latest generation the youngest generation I think are great from two perspectives. Number one it's really promoting financial literacy. So, as a parent, you have a conversation with real tangible items at the dinner table with your kids as they're growing up. So, we're actually going to be a...”
“Well, from our perspective, market integrity is not something that is a competitive dynamic, and some of the rules that have been changed to woo some of the the the large companies you you referenced, SpaceX, are are questionable. And from our perspective, what is most important to us is protecting investors, particula...”
“Rushing that type of rule change out, though, is in in order to accommodate a listing, is is a question mark. I think the bigger thing, which you've heavily covered on Bloomberg, is the float multiplier that that should be looked at more closely.”
“It really depends on the governance. One of the things that we're focused on is how our markets continue to be transformed, over the long term, but we would never sacrifice the transparency that that The US stock exchanges in particular require.”
“I think, actually, AI is going to present an amazing opportunity. It will present opportunity for regulators to surveil markets at a much greater speed. It's something actually one of our first use cases has been deploying AI to surveil our markets given the increasing messaging that we have at our matching engines.”
“So, I think that the worst thing you can do is just ring fence what diversity is. I actually think in the long term, it hinders the progress that women, for example, have made in the boardroom; we tend to be more focused on meritocracy as opposed to bureaucracy.”
“Everything we're doing around tokenization, for example, the fact that money can move and settle instantaneously — that's a good thing. We probably should have done that many years ago.”
“It's a bit of a two-edged sword, because reducing quarterly reporting could give people less transparency around financials. But if you're a newly public company, should you have to report your first earnings call within 45 days of an IPO?”
“That was more like a double-click moment — oh, interesting that the prediction markets are influencing what is occurring in your more traditional markets.”
“If you take a couple of steps back, our public markets are the envy of the world. That's why more and more companies are looking towards the US as the most desirable geography from a capital formation standpoint.”
“Polly just called the election for President Trump. It's interesting that the prediction markets are influencing what is occurring in your more traditional markets.”
“On the front of the medallion are our six pillars which stand for a variety of things, but importantly they stand for access to free markets around the globe and the concept of freedom which I know you fight for every single day.”
“It reminds us of our commitment to fair and transparent markets.”
“We think 2026 is going to be a super cycle in terms of IPO activity. We're seeing a tremendous amount of companies who are at the one yard line, at the starting gate, ready to flip public, ready to go public.”
