Because of the former stock exchange building, the monumental Beurs van Berlage, and several other buildings related to financial activities erected there in the early 20th century, the term "Damrak" has come to be a synonym for the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the same way "Wall Street" is synonymous with the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
På grund af at den nu tidligere børsbygning, den monumentale Beurs van Berlage og flere andre bygninger relateret til finansielle aktiviteter ligger langs vejen er ordet "Damrak" blevet synonym med Amsterdams børs på samme måde som "Wall Street" er et synonym for New York Stock Exchange og NASDAQ.
