The number is now approximately 600

The existence of the stock market in Vietnam indeed opened up a new channel for firms to access funds from the public. With only two firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) when it was launched, the number is now approximately 600, and on two exchanges, the HOSE and the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX).

Is there any subtle difference in meaning between the original and the one below with the adverb "now" moved to the position before "the number"?
