What is the difference between NYSE & Nasdaq?

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq are both based in New York. The NYSE combines electronic trading with a physical trading floor on Wall Street, where designated market makers oversee trading in each stock. Nasdaq is fully electronic: buyers and sellers trade over a network of market makers. The NYSE is known for large, well-established companies, while Nasdaq is known for technology and growth companies.

The NYSE traces its history to the Buttonwood Agreement of 1792, while Nasdaq launched in 1971 as the world's first electronic stock market. Both are among the largest exchanges in the world by market capitalization.
