The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) originated in the late 18th century to become one of the best known and largest stock exchanges in the United States and the world. In 2007 The NYSE merged with a European exchange called Euronext to become NYSE Euronext, Inc. A year later NYSE Euronext purchased the American Stock Exchange, another historic American financial institution.

Even though the NYSE is owned by NYSE Euronext, Inc. but still operates as an independent entity in terms of equity market listings. Another listings subsidary owned by NYSE Euronext, Inc. is the NYSE Arca or Arca exchange which is a digital exchange for financial securities. After merging with the Arca exchange in 2006, the NYSE became a publically traded company with the ticker symbol (NYX). The NYSE is comprised of 1366 seatholder members that both own and can directly utilize the exchange's trading facilities.
