Euronext has unveiled Euronext ETF Europe, described as the first fully integrated marketplace for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) across the continent.
Euronext Launches First Fully Integrated European ETF Marketplace
The new platform aims to unify a fragmented European ETF market. It combines listing, trading, clearing and settlement under a single infrastructure, promising efficiency gains, lower costs and greater transparency.
ETF issuers will now be able to list once and access all Euronext markets, reducing regulatory duplication and speeding time-to-market.
Investors, particularly retail participants, are expected to benefit from deeper liquidity, improved price discovery and broader access to products at more competitive rates.
The initiative forms part of Euronext’s Innovate for Growth 2027 plan and aligns with the European Commission’s ambitions for a Savings and Investments Union.
A consolidated order book on the Optiq trading platform will pool liquidity across jurisdictions, while post-trade services will be streamlined through Euronext Clearing and Euronext Securities.
Major issuers and brokers, representing over 90% of European ETF assets, are backing the launch, including Amundi, BlackRock, BNP Paribas Asset Management, HSBC, Invesco, State Street, Vanguard and WisdomTree.
Anthony Attia, Euronext’s global head of derivatives and post-trade, said the initiative was “a strategic leap forward in building a truly unified and competitive European capital market.”
