📜 Key Milestones

Nasdaq was founded in 1971 as the world's first electronic stock exchange. The company demutualized and went public in 2002. The $10.5 billion acquisition of Adenza in 2023 significantly expanded Nasdaq's financial crime and regulatory technology capabilities, accelerating the transformation from exchange operator to fintech platform.

💡 Did You Know?

Nasdaq's market technology is used by more exchanges worldwide than any other provider—many stock exchanges that compete with Nasdaq actually run on Nasdaq's technology. The Nasdaq-100 index has become one of the most popular investment benchmarks globally, with hundreds of billions tracked against it.

📝 Analyst Take

Nasdaq's transformation into a technology company that happens to run an exchange is one of the most underappreciated strategic pivots in financial services. The Adenza acquisition was expensive, but it accelerates the shift toward high-margin, recurring software revenue.
