The NASDAQ OMX Group has received approval from the SEC to launch its new listing market, the BX Venture Market. The BX Venture Market is intended to serve as a new listing alternative for early stage and smaller companies that do not qualify for a NASDAQ Capital Market listing, bridging the gap between the over-the-counter markets and NASDAQ's existing listing venues.
