California Stock Exchange unifies regulated equities, digital assets, and private & SMB markets on a single venue - with transparent price discovery, real-time surveillance, and instant, final settlement that members, issuers, investors, and regulators can verify for themselves. Lower listing costs and a streamlined regulatory path open these markets to small-cap, high-growth companies that traditional exchanges price out.
Instant, same-day finality for digital assets.
Markets - equities, digital assets, and private - on one venue.
California's economy is the largest in the country, yet its companies still raise capital across fragmented, opaque venues - public equities on one system, private shares in manual back rooms, and digital assets with no consistent rulebook. The result is thin liquidity, slow settlement, uneven investor protection, and listing costs that lock out smaller issuers.
California Stock Exchange was built to bring those markets together - from a Series A startup to a public giant - on one transparent, regulated venue. We match orders on a lit order book, clear and manage risk, and settle trades with finality; every settlement is captured in a secure, independently verifiable record that members, issuers, investors, and regulators can check for themselves. The output isn't a delayed report. It's a verifiable settlement certificate the whole market can trust. And because we keep listing costs low and the regulatory path streamlined, we open public capital to small-cap, high-growth companies that traditional exchanges leave behind.
To bring California's companies - from Series A startups to public giants - onto one transparent, regulated exchange. By making listing more affordable and the regulatory path more efficient, we give every issuer and investor access to capital, liquidity, and price discovery that public markets historically reserved for the largest companies.
The most trusted companies of the next era are listed, traded, and settled in California.
California Stock Exchange is engineered around a separation of powers: the desk that matches a trade cannot also be the one that settles and records it. Three independent layers enforce this.
Matches orders on a transparent order book. Real-time surveillance flags anomalies and potential market abuse as they happen.
Nets matched trades, manages counterparty risk and margin, and captures each settlement in a secure, independently verifiable record.
Tamper-proof, timestamped settlements backed by a secure record. Any authorized participant can independently verify the record for themselves.
