Back in 1971 when NASDAQ began, and pioneered electronic trading -- every single stock market in the world was floor-based. Fast forward to today, and NASDAQ is the largest electronic stock market in the U.S. -- an engine that powers the global economy. We are proud of the fact that the world's equities markets have followed our lead. NASDAQ celebrates 35 years of innovation and performance.
