All the symbols of the stock ticker on this platform have up to five letters.

If we look into the history of NASDAQ, there has been a consistent track of groundbreaking achievements and apart from being the first electronic stock exchange platform in the world, NASDAQ was also the 1st in the list to introduce a website. The storage of all the records occur in the cloud and this technology was also sold to other trading platforms. National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations came into a partnership with OMX ABO. It is a Nordic and Baltic regional operator exchange platform from Stockholm. After that, the name changed to Nasdaq, Inc., and along with dealing in stocks, it also focused on the exchange of commodities, structured products, debts, traded exchange-traded funds, and derivatives. According to the last recorded data, there are approximately 3,765 companies listed and their market cap has crossed $19.4 billion (as of 2021).

Different Tiers of NASDAQ

If a company wants to enlist itself at the NASDAQ, it needs to meet certain criteria and based on that, the list of the company’s stocks in one of the three markets.

Working Mechanism of NASDAQ

The design of this stock exchange platform is with the mindset of providing automated quotations to its users. At the earliest, the company focused on facilitating OTC stocks and the practice was so frequent that NASDAQ turned synonymous with OTC. Many trade publications and media houses started calling it the OTC market. But after a few years of practice, NASDAQ introduced an automatic trading system to create volume and trade reports. Looking from the point of an investor, all the transactions happen through a dealer called a “market maker”. There was no direct auction of stocks.
