IEX Group Inc. won regulatory approval for a new stock exchange that slows the speed of trading, clinching a hard-fought win over competitors who said its model threatens investor benefits flowing from ever-faster markets.
The Securities and Exchange Commission voted Friday to certify IEX as the U.S.’s 13th national stock exchange, giving the startup a license to challenge Intercontinental Exchange Inc., Nasdaq Inc. and Bats Global Markets Inc.
