California Stock Exchange

The exchange built for California's economy — one regulated venue to list, trade, and settle public equities, digital assets, and private & SMB markets.

California Stock Exchange

California has the largest state economy in the United States, yet its companies still raise and trade capital on venues built elsewhere and decades ago. California Stock Exchange unifies three markets on a single regulated platform — and offers an affordable, regulatory-efficient path to public capital for small-cap, high-growth companies that legacy exchanges price out. Every trade settles the same day, with instant T+0 finality backed by a secure, independently verifiable settlement record.

Regulated equities

A national securities exchange with continuous order-book trading, market data, and the CSE California 100 index.

Digital assets

Digital securities with instant T+0 settlement, backed by a tamper-proof, independently verifiable record.

Private & SMB markets

Private-company shares, pre-IPO secondaries, and regional small-business equity — under one rulebook.

Why California Stock Exchange
  • Transparent price discovery — continuous order book and real-time market surveillance.
  • Instant, verifiable settlement — same-day T+0 finality on a cyber-secure, tamper-proof record no single desk can alter.
  • Affordable & regulatory-efficient — one rulebook across public, digital, and private securities opens public capital to small-cap, high-growth issuers.
  • California beachhead — startups, high-growth companies, and SMBs priced out of legacy markets.
