The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) are examples of such platforms. These listings include initial public offerings (IPOs), where a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, and those that have been shifted from other exchanges, like the NASDAQ.
