Euronext N.V. (short for European New Exchange Technology)[7] is a European bourse that provides trading and post-trade services for a range of financial instruments. It is registered in Amsterdam but its operational headquarters are located in Paris.[8] It operates major stock exchanges in seven countries: France (Euronext Paris), the Netherlands (Euronext Amsterdam), Belgium (Euronext Brussels), Ireland (Euronext Dublin), Portugal (Euronext Lisbon), Italy (Borsa Italiana) and Norway (Euronext Oslo Børs). The present-day Euronext was spun off from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in 2014,[9] shortly after ICE's acquisition of NYSE Euronext the year before.

Key Information

Traded assets include regulated equities, exchange-traded funds (ETF), warrants and certificates, bonds, derivatives, commodities, foreign exchange as well as indices. As of March 2025, Euronext operated nearly 1,800 listed issuers with a market capitalization of approximately €6.3 trillion.[10]

Euronext is the largest center for debt and funds listings in the world, and provides technology and managed services to third parties. In addition to its main regulated market, it operates Euronext Growth and Euronext Access, providing access to listing for small and medium-sized enterprises. Euronext Paris accounts for more than 80% of Euronext’s total market cap. It also plays a key role in commodities trading, offering markets for power through Nord Pool and for fish through Fish Pool, alongside other agricultural commodities such as milling wheat and rapeseed.

Post-trade services include clearing performed by Euronext's multi-asset clearing house, Euronext Clearing, headquartered in Rome, as well as custody and settlement performed by Euronext's central securities depository (CSD), Euronext Securities.

Euronext traces its origins back to some of the world's oldest bourses, formed in the Low Countries' shifting trade centres, Bruges, Antwerp and Amsterdam in 1285, 1485 and 1602, respectively, as well as to the foundation of the Paris Bourse in 1724. In its present form, Euronext was established in September 2000 through the merger of the bourses in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. The goal was to create a single, integrated, and liquid market for securities trading across Europe. Since its inception, Euronext has continued to expand, and now operates stock exchanges in several European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, and Norway. Its creation was followed by the introduction of the single currency and harmonisation of financial markets.

In August 2023, the company formed EuroCTP as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a consolidated tape for the European Union, as part of the Capital Markets Union proposed by the European Commission.

2000–2007: Founding merger and early acquisitions

[edit]
Logo used between 2000 and 2007

In 1998, the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse announced their intention of forming an alliance to fend off competition from the United States, and take advantage from the European Union's (EU) single currency and harmonisation of financial markets.[11] In April 1999 the stock exchanges in Paris, Zurich, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Milan signed a memorandum of understanding in Madrid, which formalised plans to include these bourses as well.

Ultimately, only three decided to proceed, and on 22 September 2000 Euronext was formed following a merger of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange,[12] Brussels Stock Exchange, and Paris Bourse.[1][2][3][4]

In 2001, Euronext became a listed company itself after completing its initial public offering.[13][14]

In December 2001, Euronext acquired the shares of the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), forming Euronext.LIFFE.[15]

In 2002, the group merged with the Portuguese stock exchange Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP), renamed Euronext Lisbon.[3]

In 2003, Euronext cash products were integrated onto a single platform (NSC).[16]

In 2004, Euronext derivatives products were integrated onto LIFFE CONNECT.

In 2005, Euronext introduced Alternext as a market segment to help finance small and mid-class companies in the Eurozone.

2007–2014: Merger with the New York Stock Exchange and acquisition by Intercontinental Exchange

[edit]
Main article: NYSE Euronext

Due to apparent moves by NASDAQ to acquire the London Stock Exchange[18] or Euronext itself,[19] NYSE Group, owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), offered €8 billion (US$10.2b) in cash and shares for Euronext on 22 May 2006, outbidding a rival offer for the European Stock exchange operator from Deutsche Börse, the German stock market.[20] Contrary to statements that it would not raise its bid, on 23 May 2006, Deutsche Börse unveiled a merger bid for Euronext, valuing the pan-European exchange at €8.6 billion (US$11b), €600 million over NYSE Group's initial bid.[21] Despite this, NYSE Group and Euronext penned a merger agreement, subject to shareholder vote and regulatory approval. The initial regulatory response by SEC chief Christopher Cox (who was coordinating heavily with European counterparts) was positive, with an expected approval by the end of 2007.[22]

Deutsche Börse dropped out of the bidding for Euronext on 15 November 2006, removing the last major hurdle for the NYSE Euronext transaction. A run-up of NYSE Group's stock price in late 2006 made the offering far more attractive to Euronext's shareholders.[23] On 19 December 2006, Euronext shareholders approved the transaction with 98.2% of the vote. Only 1.8% voted in favour of the Deutsche Börse offer. Jean-François Théodore, the chief executive officer of Euronext, stated that they expected the transaction to close within three or four months.[24] Some of the regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the merger had already given approval. NYSE Group shareholders gave their approval on 20 December 2006.[25] The merger was completed on 4 April 2007, forming NYSE Euronext.

The new firm, NYSE Euronext, was headquartered in New York City, with European operations and its trading platform run out of Paris. Then-NYSE CEO John Thain, who was to head NYSE Euronext, intended to use the combination to form the world's first global stock market, with continuous trading of stocks and derivatives over a 21-hour time span. In addition, the two exchanges hoped to add Borsa Italiana (the Milan stock exchange) into the grouping.

In 2008 and 2009 Deutsche Börse made two unsuccessful attempts to merge with NYSE Euronext. Both attempts did not enter into advanced steps of merger.[26][27] In 2011, Deutsche Börse and NYSE Euronext confirmed that they were in advanced merger talks. Such a merger would create the largest exchange in history.[28] The deal was approved by shareholders of NYSE Euronext on 7 July 2011,[22] and Deutsche Börse on 15 July 2011[29] and won the antitrust approved by the US regulators on 22 December 2011.[30] On 1 February 2012, the deal was blocked by European Commission on the grounds that the new company would have resulted in a quasi-monopoly in the area of European financial derivatives traded globally on exchanges.[31][32] Deutsche Börse unsuccessfully appealed this decision.[33][34]

In 2012, Euronext announced the creation of Euronext London to offer listing facilities in the UK. As such, Euronext received in June 2014 Recognized Investment Exchange (RIE) status from Britain's Financial Conduct Authority.[35]

On 20 December 2012, the boards of directors of both Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and the NYSE Euronext approved an $8 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext. Under the terms shareholders of NYSE would receive either $33.12 in cash for each share or .2581 IntercontinentalExchange Inc. shares, or a combination of $11.27 in cash per share plus .1703 shares of stock.[36] The acquisition is subject to regulator approval, though since the operations of ICE and NYSE have little in common—ICE is largely devoted to trading commodities, as opposed to NYSE's business of trading stocks and securities—the deal is not expected to be blocked.[37] ICE said that after the deal closed it would sell the Euronext portion of the company, including stock exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris.[38] The deal went through and Euronext is a sister division to NYSE and part of ICE. ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher would continue in that position at the combined company, while NYSE CEO Duncan Niederauer would serve as president.[37] The future of the New York Stock Exchange's historic trading floor under ICE has not been announced. ICE closed the high profile and historic trading floors of its other earlier acquisitions, the International Petroleum Exchange and the New York Board of Trade in New York.[39]

In May 2013, Euronext established Enternext as a subsidiary to help small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) listed on Euronext outline and apply a strategy most suited to support their growth.[40][41]

The ICE's deal was approved by the shareholders of NYSE Euronext and Intercontinental Exchange on 3 June 2013.[42][43][44] The European Commission approved the acquisition on 24 June 2013[45] and on 15 August 2013 the US regulator, SEC, granted approval of the acquisition.[46][47][48] European regulators and ministries of Finance of the participating countries approved the deal and on 13 November 2013 the acquisition was completed.[49][50]

The composition of the Reference Shareholders as of 30 April 2024 is as follows:[51]

Part of ICE's deal to acquire NYSE Euronext was a spin-off for Euronext, which was considered a positive element for European stakeholders.[49] After a complex series of operations, this occurred on 20 June 2014, through an initial public offering (IPO).[52] The former Euronext.LIFFE was retained by ICE and renamed ICE Futures Europe. In order to stabilise Euronext, a consortium of eleven investors decided to invest in the company as "reference shareholders". These investors owned 33.36% of Euronext's capital and have a 3 years lockup period: Euroclear, BNP Paribas, BNP Paribas Fortis, Société Générale, Caisse des Dépôts, BPI France, ABN Amro, ASR, Banco Espírito Santo, Banco BPI and Belgian holding public company Belgian Federal Holding and Investment Company [fr] (SFPI/FPIM).[53] They have 3 board seats.

In June 2014, EnterNext launched two initiatives to boost SME equity research and support the technology sector. EnterNext partnered with Morningstar to increase equity research focusing on mid-size companies, especially in the telecommunications, media and technology (TMT) sector.

On 22 September 2014, Euronext announced a partnership with DEGIRO[54] regarding the distribution of retail services of Euronext. Upon publishing the third quarter results for 2014, the partnership was seen as a plan for Euronext to compete more effectively on the Dutch retail segment.[55]

In May 2017, Alternext was renamed to Euronext Growth.[56]

On 14 August 2017, Euronext announced the completion of its acquisition of FastMatch, a currency trading platform.[57]

On 27 March 2018, Euronext announced the completion of its acquisition of the Irish Stock Exchange,[58] rebranded as Euronext Dublin, to expand its reach into the debt and funds markets.

On 18 June 2019, Euronext announced the completion of its acquisition of the Oslo Stock Exchange.[59]

On 5 December 2019, Euronext announced that it would acquire 66% of the European power exchange Nord Pool.[60][61] The acquisition was completed on 15 January 2020.[62]

On 23 April 2020, Euronext announced that it would acquire ca. 70% of the Danish Central Securities Depository, VP Securities.[63] The acquisition was completed on 4 August 2020.[64]

On 18 September 2020, as part of regulatory remedies to see through its $27 billion purchase of data provider Refinitiv, the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) entered into exclusive talks to sell the Italian Bourse (formally 100% of London Stock Exchange Group Holdings Italia S.p.A.), situated in Milan, to Euronext.[65][66] As part of the deal, CDP Equity, 100% owned by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, and Intesa Sanpaolo would become Euronext reference shareholders.[67]

In April 2021, Euronext completed the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group for €4.4 billion, enhancing its leadership in the European financial markets. This acquisition integrated the Milan Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana) and its subsidiary MTS, a leader in fixed income markets, into Euronext. As of 2024, Euronext has further consolidated its market position through technological advancements, partnerships, and sustainability initiatives.

On 23 August 2023, Euronext formed EuroCTP as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a consolidated tape for the European Union, as part of the Capital Markets Union proposed by the European Commission.

In November 2024, Euronext announced a new three-year strategic plan titled "Innovate for Growth 2027", aimed at accelerating revenue growth through innovation and business diversification. The plan focuses on three main priorities:

  1. Growth in non-volume-related activities: expansion of post-trade services, data solutions, and technology services, which currently account for 60% of total revenues.
  2. Expansion in fixed income, currencies, and commodities (FICC) markets: enhancing trading and clearing capabilities, with a particular focus on the energy market through Nord Pool.
  3. Leadership in equity trading: strengthening Euronext's dominant position in equity markets and becoming the leading ETF market in Europe.

The strategic plan reaffirms Euronext's commitment to sustainability and ESG by setting a Net Zero target for 2027. It also states a target of an annual revenue and income growth of over 5%, with capital expenditure (CAPEX) estimated between 4% and 6% of total revenues. In addition, Euronext announced a share buyback program of up to €300 million, set to be completed within a maximum of 12 months starting in November 2024.[68]

On 1 July 2025, Euronext announced that it submitted a takeover offer in order to acquire Athens Stock Exchange.[69] Discussions focused on a potential all-share deal valued at approximately $470 million.[70] On 6 October 2025, Euronext announced the launch of the voluntary exchange offer for all ATHEX shares[71]

Euronext N.V. is a pan-European and market infrastructure operator that manages regulated equity, , and derivatives markets across seven countries: the (Amsterdam), (Brussels), (Paris), (Lisbon), (Dublin), (), and (Oslo). Formed on September 22, 2000, through the merger of the Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris stock exchanges, it has grown into Europe's leading platform for listing and trading securities, serving nearly 1,900 issuers with a total of approximately €6.5 trillion as of September 2025. Headquartered in , Euronext provides integrated services including trading via a single , clearing, settlement, and data dissemination, connecting European economies to global capital markets while emphasizing and efficiency in sectors like , shipping, and . Euronext's expansion includes acquisitions such as the Lisbon Stock Exchange in 2002, the Irish Stock Exchange in 2018 (rebranded ), Borsa Italiana in 2021, and Oslo Børs in 2019, consolidating fragmented markets into a unified infrastructure that enhances cross-border access for investors and issuers. This structure has positioned it as the largest equity market in and a key hub for debt and funds listings, with notable achievements including over 50 new listings in 2025 alone and recognition as the world's best exchange for its role in . While primarily focused on regulated markets, it also operates growth segments like Euronext Growth for smaller companies, supporting innovation without compromising on transparency and investor protection standards.

History

Predecessor Exchanges and Early Foundations

The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, founded in 1602, originated with the issuance of shares by the (VOC), marking the establishment of the world's first formal dedicated to trading company securities. This innovation arose from the need to finance long-distance trade expeditions, enabling public participation through share ownership and trading on an organized platform. Over centuries, it evolved into a central hub for equities and bonds, housed in structures like the Beurs van Berlage built in , reflecting Amsterdam's role as a global trading pioneer. The Bourse was officially established in under the reign of [Louis XV](/page/Louis XV), initially as a regulated venue for trading commodities and government securities amid growing financial activity in . Government oversight shaped its microstructure, distinguishing it from private-led exchanges, with operations later centralized in the Palais Brongniart completed in 1826 to accommodate open-outcry trading. By the , it had become a key European market for state bonds and industrial shares, adapting through regulatory reforms to handle expanding volumes. The Brussels Stock Exchange was created in 1801 by Napoleonic decree, formalizing trading activities in Belgium's emerging financial center to support public debt issuance and commercial ventures. It developed alongside industrial growth, with its neoclassical building designed by Léon Suys in the 1870s symbolizing institutional maturity, though trading persisted through periods of political upheaval. These exchanges—Amsterdam, Paris, and Brussels—operated as sovereign national markets for nearly two centuries, fostering distinct legal frameworks and investor bases before their 2000 consolidation into Euronext.

Formation Through Merger (2000–2006)

Euronext N.V. was formed on 22 September 2000 via the merger of the Exchanges (AEX), the (BXS), and the Bourse (SBF). This tripartite integration marked the creation of Europe's inaugural fully operational cross-border , designed to pool across the three markets, streamline trading through shared technology platforms, and position the entity as a stronger competitor to dominant global venues like the London Stock Exchange and the . The merger preserved national regulatory frameworks while introducing unified systems for order matching and settlement, with Euronext headquartered in and serving as a secondary base. In early 2002, Euronext extended its footprint by merging with the Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e (BVLP), the Portuguese stock exchange, with shareholder approval finalized on 31 January and operational integration completed shortly thereafter to establish . This acquisition incorporated Portugal's equity and markets into the Euronext framework, providing Portuguese traders access to pan-European clearing and settlement infrastructures while expanding Euronext's geographic reach to four countries. Concurrently, in 2002, Euronext acquired the (LIFFE), a leading venue, which enhanced its offerings in futures and options contracts, particularly in interest rates and commodities, despite LIFFE remaining UK-regulated. These moves diversified Euronext's product scope beyond cash equities, fostering synergies between spot and trading across borders. Throughout 2003–2006, Euronext consolidated its operations by migrating all markets to a single , UTP (Universal Trading Platform), launched progressively from 2004, which improved execution speeds and reduced latency compared to legacy systems. The exchange also introduced benchmarks like the index in 2002, comprising the largest blue-chip stocks from its markets to attract index-linked investment products. By late 2006, amid competitive pressures including unsolicited bids from and , Euronext's board pursued strategic discussions that culminated in a planned transatlantic alliance, though full execution fell outside this period; the entity then managed approximately 1,300 listed companies with a combined exceeding €2.5 trillion. Empirical analyses of the mergers indicated improvements primarily for larger firms with international exposure, though smaller domestic issuers experienced mixed outcomes due to fragmented order flow.

NYSE Integration and ICE Period (2007–2013)

In April 2007, Euronext merged with NYSE Group, Inc., forming NYSE Euronext, the world's first transatlantic exchange operator. The combination, valued at approximately $14 billion, integrated Euronext's cash equity markets in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, and Lisbon with the New York Stock Exchange, creating a group handling trading across multiple currencies and time zones. The merger aimed to achieve operational synergies through shared technology and cross-listing opportunities, though separate regulatory frameworks limited full unification of trading platforms. During the integration phase, expanded its offerings, including and fixed-income products, while navigating the , which boosted trading volumes—U.S. equities averaged 2.6 billion shares daily in 2007, up 16 percent. Euronext's European venues maintained distinct operations but benefited from NYSE's hybrid electronic-floor model influences and global visibility for listings. In 2011, attempted a merger with AG, valued at around $9.7 billion, to consolidate European dominance, but the blocked it on February 1, 2012, citing excessive market power in interest rate despite proposed remedies. The ICE period began with IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. () announcing its acquisition of on December 20, 2012, in a $11 billion stock-and-cash deal emphasizing complementary futures and data services. NYSE Euronext shareholders approved the transaction on June 3, 2013, with over 90 percent support, following regulatory clearances including U.S. antitrust divestitures. The acquisition closed on November 13, 2013, integrating NYSE Euronext's operations into , which retained the NYSE brand while planning to divest Euronext to preserve European market structure. This shift marked the end of NYSE Euronext's independent era, driven by strategic needs for scale amid rising competition from electronic platforms.

Post-ICE Independence and Expansions (2014–2023)

In June 2014, Euronext regained full independence from (ICE) through an (IPO) priced at €20 per share, raising approximately €845 million ($1.2 billion) by selling 42.2 million shares. This spin-off followed ICE's 2013 acquisition of , where ICE retained the and LIFFE derivatives business while divesting Euronext to refocus on non-equities operations. Post-IPO, Euronext N.V. listed its shares across its own markets in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, and Paris, establishing a "federal" model emphasizing local market integration with pan-European infrastructure. Euronext pursued geographic and product expansions to consolidate its position in European capital markets. On March 27, 2018, it completed the acquisition of the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) for €137 million, renaming it Euronext Dublin and gaining a key venue for debt and fund listings amid post-Brexit shifts in financial services. In 2019, after outbidding Nasdaq Inc. in a contested offer, Euronext acquired Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA for NOK 145 per share (approximately €660 million enterprise value), integrating the Norwegian exchange and its central securities depository (CSD) to enter Nordic equities and post-trade services. Further post-trade strengthening occurred in 2020 with the August 4 completion of VP Securities A/S acquisition (Denmark's CSD) for an undisclosed amount, adding €2.2 trillion in assets under custody and enhancing Nordic clearing capabilities. The period's largest deal was the April 29, 2021, acquisition of Group from for €4.444 billion, incorporating Milan's equities, (IDEM), and fixed-income (MTS) platforms, plus Monte Titoli CSD, to capture 15% of European listed volume. These moves diversified revenue beyond core equities, with post-trade and data services growing to represent over 40% of total income by 2023. By late 2023, Euronext operated seven exchanges and four CSDs, handling about 25% of European equity trading volume, while expanding clearing via Euronext Clearing to cover cash equities in , , , , the , and . This era emphasized regulatory-compliant consolidation amid fragmented EU markets, though integrations faced scrutiny over competition and national interests, as seen in the deal's EU conditional approval.

Recent Strategic Developments (2024–Present)

In November 2024, Euronext announced its three-year strategic plan, "Innovate for Growth 2027," which aims to achieve average annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth exceeding 5% through innovations in trading platforms, post-trade services, and data analytics, while leveraging its pan-European footprint. A key component includes the launch of the first phase of the Repo Expansion Initiative, focusing on enhancing repurchase agreement markets to support liquidity in European fixed-income trading. Throughout 2024, Euronext completed the integration of Borsa Italiana's financial derivatives onto its Optiq trading platform, improving trading efficiency and capacity across its exchanges, which contributed to record clearing volumes at Euronext Clearing, including 104 million financial derivatives lots (up 89% year-on-year) and 470 million equity contracts (up 183%). In August 2024, Euronext partnered with Nord Pool to launch a Nordic and Baltic power futures market, addressing rising demand for energy derivatives amid regional electrification trends. In September 2024, Euronext acquired Substantive Research, a London-based provider of , to bolster its and services offerings. This was followed in March 2025 by the acquisition of Admincontrol, a Nordic SaaS provider for solutions, expanding Euronext's technology services beyond core exchange operations. Early 2025 saw Euronext sign a binding agreement in January to acquire Nasdaq's Nordic power futures business, further strengthening its commodities and derivatives segment in , subject to regulatory approvals. In 2025, Euronext submitted a voluntary share exchange offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Hellenic Exchanges (ATHEX), aiming to integrate the Athens market and extend its Mediterranean presence. These moves align with the "Innovate for Growth 2027" emphasis on diversification and inorganic expansion to counterbalance cyclical trading revenues.

Listings span large-cap firms in sectors like , , and shipping to smaller growth-oriented enterprises, with Euronext serving as the primary European venue for tech company initial public offerings and listings. Equity listings occur primarily through the Euronext Regulated Markets, which require compliance with prospectus regulations, ongoing disclosure obligations, and minimum free float and thresholds. These markets feature segmented compartments harmonized across venues, categorized by company size: for instance, Compartment A targets issuers with exceeding €1 billion, while lower compartments accommodate mid- and small-caps with adjusted criteria. For smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Euronext Growth offers a dedicated with lighter admission standards, faster listing timelines, and reduced reporting requirements compared to regulated markets, facilitating access to equity financing without full prospectus approval in many cases. Companies can pursue various listing pathways, including initial public offerings (IPOs) to raise new capital via public share sales, direct listings that admit existing shares to trading without , private placements limited to qualified investors for quicker execution, and dual listings for entities already public on other exchanges to gain European exposure through streamlined processes. These options support diverse issuer needs, from established multinationals for visibility to emerging firms in high-growth sectors like clean tech and biotech, with Euronext emphasizing efficient admission supported by local regulatory frameworks in each host country.

Derivatives, Commodities, and Fixed Income

Euronext operates derivatives markets primarily through its venue, offering futures and options on equity indices such as the , AEX, , , ISEQ, and OBX, alongside single-stock futures and options on equities from Dutch, French, and Belgian markets, with recent expansions to German, Irish, Portuguese, Italian, and Norwegian underlyings; these options are regulated under MiFID II. These contracts include derivatives, with over 300 single-stock futures available, enabling hedging against risks unique to Euronext listings. Certain equity index futures and options are CFTC-approved for direct trading from the , facilitating cross-Atlantic access.

Fixed income activities encompass secondary trading and listing of bonds across Euronext venues, with over 57,000 bonds listed, including government, corporate, convertible, and medium-term notes. In February 2025, Euronext announced expansion into fixed income derivatives, launching cash-settled mini futures on major European government bonds such as French OATs, German Bunds, and Italian BTPs in September 2025, marking the first such innovation for accessible retail and institutional hedging of sovereign debt yields. These derivatives complement Euronext's bond markets in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Milan, Paris, and Oslo, providing efficient listing and trading for debt instruments.

Foreign Exchange and Other Services

Euronext FX operates as an (ECN) providing trading in spot foreign exchange, precious metals, and non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) via its Singapore-based subsidiary, Euronext Markets . Powered by FastMatch , it connects participants to deep pools across major pairs, emphasizing low-latency execution and institutional-grade access. In 2025, Euronext FX achieved recognition as the world's best FX ECN, driven by double-digit growth in the first and second quarters amid heightened trading volumes. The platform supports real-time trading data dissemination through products like EURONEXT FX TAPE, which streams last trade information—including date, time, , (VWAP), and aggregated size—updated every 500 milliseconds across supported instruments. Complementary data services, such as FX Flow, deliver hourly and daily trading records for 108 pairs, including historical datasets dating back to platform inception, aiding market participants in analysis and development.

These services integrate with Euronext's core infrastructure to support diversified order routing, including tools like RiskGuard for pre-trade risk controls, enhancing operational efficiency for non-equity and non-derivatives instruments.

Post-Trade Infrastructure

Euronext's post-trade infrastructure encompasses clearing, settlement, and custody services designed to mitigate risks and ensure efficient transaction finality across its markets. Clearing is handled by Euronext Clearing, a multi-asset clearing house headquartered in Rome, which acts as the central counterparty by becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer, thereby guaranteeing settlement and eliminating bilateral counterparty risk. This infrastructure supports trades in equities, ETFs, structured products, warrants, bonds, and derivatives on Euronext venues in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo, and Paris. Euronext Clearing applies methodologies tailored to , including initial margin calculations, , and collateral requirements for equities, , equity derivatives, soft commodities, and power derivatives. Collateral management has been enhanced through partnerships, such as with in June 2025, to expand repo clearing and optimize via integrated systems for triparty collateral services. Operations include daily , position management, and publication of transaction , with default management procedures to handle member failures. Settlement and custody are provided by Euronext Securities, a network of central securities depositories (CSDs) operating in , , , and , which facilitates the transfer of securities and cash, often in coordination with national central banks for final cash settlement. These CSDs support multi-currency settlement and harmonized processes for issuance, safekeeping, and corporate actions across Nordic and Southern European markets. In March 2025, Euronext announced plans to consolidate equity trade settlement for its , , and markets under Euronext Securities by September 2026, transitioning from France, Netherlands, and to create a unified European post-trade model. This shift aims to reduce fragmentation, streamline operations for clients, and improve by enabling consolidated settlement and custody in a single , though it has prompted alternative CSD applications from competitors like to maintain choice.

Economic Role and Performance

Contribution to European Capital Formation

Euronext serves as a primary platform for European companies to access equity capital through initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on offerings, and secondary listings, enabling firms to fund expansion, innovation, and operations. In 2024, Euronext maintained its position as Europe's leading equity listing venue, hosting numerous admissions that supported capital raising for both large corporations and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For instance, its IPOready program, which prepares companies for markets, has facilitated over 30 listings since inception, collectively raising more than €1.6 billion in equity capital as of June 2025. This activity underscores Euronext's role in channeling investor funds into the real economy, particularly in sectors like and renewables, where listings provide and visibility to attract institutional and retail investors across its federated markets. In the debt markets, Euronext has emerged as the world's largest listing venue, significantly bolstering European capital formation through bond issuances. The platform listed over 14,700 new bonds in alone—an all-time record—mobilizing more than €3.5 trillion in fresh capital from issuers including governments, supranationals, and corporates. This volume reflects Euronext's for efficient placement, with listings drawn from over 110 countries, thereby integrating European markets with global fixed-income investors and reducing funding costs for issuers via standardized processes and broad access. Such capital has financed projects, corporate , and needs, contributing to amid varying environments. By pooling liquidity across its venues in , , , , , , and , Euronext enhances and efficiency, which in turn lowers the for European entities compared to fragmented national exchanges. This federal structure supports cross-border capital flows, with total bond listings exceeding 55,000 as of recent years, fostering a unified European market that competes with larger global hubs like New York or . Initiatives like the European Common Prospectus, launched in April 2025, further streamline regulatory hurdles for multi-country listings, aiming to accelerate IPO activity and integrate capital markets under frameworks. Overall, these mechanisms have positioned Euronext as a of continental Europe's financing , though its impact remains constrained by competition from non- exchanges and regulatory fragmentation. Euronext maintains robust across its cash equity markets, characterized by tight bid-ask spreads and substantial depth. In , the primary trading venue, Euronext recorded an average quoted spread of 3.5 basis points, narrower than competitors such as Cboe at 4.6 basis points and Aquis at higher levels, reflecting competitive liquidity provision. The exchange's Liquidity Provider Programme incentivizes market makers to post continuous quotes, covering equities on regulated markets, Euronext Growth, and Access segments, which supports consistent depth around the best bid and offer (BBO). Recent analyses indicate improving liquidity metrics, with average spreads narrowing from 5.8 basis points to 4.5 basis points and liquidity around BBO increasing by an average of €8.2 thousand per instrument. Trading volumes on Euronext have exhibited upward trends in recent years, particularly amid heightened market volatility. Average daily cash trading volumes reached €13.8 billion in Q1 2025, a 31.8% increase from Q1 2024, driven by exceptional volatility in European equities. In Q2 2025, volumes stood at €13.4 billion, marking an all-time record for the quarter and contributing to overall revenue growth of 12.8%. Full-year 2024 volumes laid a foundation for this surge, with January 2025 already up 4.5% year-over-year, while fixed income, currencies, and commodities (FICC) segments saw record activity boosting diversified liquidity. These trends align with broader European market dynamics, where turnover rose over 30% year-over-year into 2025, averaging €13 billion daily. Market on Euronext benefits from these liquidity and volume dynamics, as evidenced by empirical studies on informational integration post-mergers. The 2000 Euronext formation, merging , , and exchanges, enhanced weak-form by reducing serial in returns and improving through consolidated order books. Narrow spreads and high volumes facilitate rapid incorporation of information, minimizing inefficiencies; for instance, time-weighted around BBO supports orderly markets resistant to large shocks. Euronext's ongoing market quality research, including post-2024 U.S. analyses, confirms sustained in global equity segments, with low spreads and resilient depth outperforming fragmented alternatives. However, periods of inefficiency persist in select indexes due to dynamics in returns, though overall pan-European integration mitigates these via diversified participant access.

Financial Metrics and Revenue Diversification

In 2024, Euronext reported total revenue and income of €1,626.9 million, marking a 10.3% increase from €1,474.7 million in 2023, driven by in non-volume-related segments and higher trading activity. Adjusted EBITDA rose 16.4% to €1,006.0 million, achieving a margin of 61.9%, while attributable to shareholders increased 15.7% to €620.7 million. These figures reflect Euronext's strategic emphasis on cost discipline and revenue expansion beyond core equities trading, with adjusted climbing 19.6% to €6.59. Early 2025 performance sustained this momentum, with Q1 reaching a record €458.5 million, up 14.1% year-over-year, followed by Q2 of €465.8 million, a 12.8% increase, for combined H1 of approximately €924.3 million. Non-volume-related constituted 57-58% of in these quarters, covering over 160% of underlying operating expenses excluding and amortization, underscoring resilience amid fluctuating trading volumes. Euronext's revenue diversification mitigates dependence on volume-sensitive equities trading, with post-trade services forming the largest segment at 25.5% of 2024 revenue (€414.7 million, up 12.0%), split between clearing (€144.3 million) and custody/settlement (€270.5 million). Listing fees contributed 14.3% (€231.9 million, up 5.1%), supported by 53 new equity listings raising €3.9 billion and over 55,000 debt instruments. Market data services, increasingly subscription-based, accounted for 14.9% (€241.7 million, up 7.5%), serving approximately 260,000 screens across 120 countries with a 6% rise in retail clients.

Net treasury income from central activities grew 21.8% to €56.8 million, enhancing stability. Overall, diversification has reduced equities reliance to under 20% of , bolstering performance amid market volatility.

Regulatory and Competitive Landscape

EU Regulatory Interactions and MiFID Impacts

MiFID II, effective from January 3, 2018, enhanced market transparency, investor protection, and oversight of trading venues across the , requiring Euronext to implement rigorous pre- and post-trade reporting, safeguards, and record-keeping for trade reconstruction. Euronext achieved full compliance with the (ESMA) guidelines under MiFID II by the directive's entry into application date, adapting its multi-jurisdictional platforms to harmonized EU standards while maintaining local regulatory alignments in countries such as , the , and . The directive's unbundling of research costs from execution commissions reduced equity research budgets and coverage for Euronext-listed companies, with overall equity research output declining post-implementation, particularly affecting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to diminished incentives for broker coverage. This shift lowered research prices more acutely for larger firms, constraining analytical depth on Euronext venues amid heightened compliance costs. For non-equity instruments, MiFID II's transparency regimes increased pre-trade disclosures, which Euronext endorsed in principle but highlighted as potentially burdensome without calibration to . MiFID II exacerbated equity market fragmentation in , fostering competition among trading venues since MiFID I's 2007 rollout and enabling reference price-dependent executions to capture over 50% of , which diluted liquidity concentration on primary exchanges like Euronext and raised execution costs without commensurate gains. Empirical analyses indicate no substantial overall trading surge on Euronext despite proliferation, with volatility effects varying by market—modest reductions in some peripheral exchanges but negligible in core Western segments. Euronext actively engages ESMA through position papers advocating MiFID refits to mitigate fragmentation, such as curbing systematic internaliser dominance that disadvantages lit exchanges, while supporting algorithmic oversight to ensure fair order handling. In a notable regulatory action, ESMA revoked SA's Data Reporting Service Provider authorization on February 13, 2024, after evaluating its MiFID II/MiFIR compliance in trade reporting, underscoring ongoing supervisory scrutiny of Euronext's post-trade data services. These interactions reflect Euronext's federal model navigating EU-wide rules alongside national authorities, with the exchange pushing for proportionality in transparency to preserve competitive edges against non-EU rivals.

Competition with Global Exchanges

Euronext competes primarily with larger U.S.-based exchanges such as the (NYSE) and , which together hold over 40% of global equity market capitalization, Euronext's approximately €5.8 (around $6.3 ) as of mid-2024. The NYSE, owned by , commands a market cap exceeding $31 , while surpasses $20 , enabling them to attract high-profile listings and initial public offerings (IPOs) from European firms seeking deeper liquidity and global visibility. In contrast, Euronext's pan-European model spans seven markets but grapples with intra-European fragmentation, where national exchanges like the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and retain significant domestic listings despite Euronext's cross-border integration efforts. A key competitive pressure arises in the IPO arena, where U.S. exchanges have drawn European companies away due to higher valuations, broader investor bases, and favorable regulatory environments; for instance, in 2024, multiple high-growth tech firms opted for listings over Euronext venues. Euronext and have responded by enhancing listing incentives, such as streamlined processes and targeted marketing to retain "local" IPOs, amid concerns over Europe's eroding share of global equity issuances. Historically, Euronext's 2011 merger with NYSE to form aimed to bolster its global footprint but unraveled after regulatory blocks on a subsequent tie-up, leaving Euronext independent and focused on organic European consolidation. In derivatives trading, Euronext challenges Deutsche Börse's Eurex platform by expanding single-stock options offerings, launching 31 new contracts in October 2024 covering German, Portuguese, and Irish equities to capture incremental volumes in a market where Eurex dominates European futures. Euronext's strategy emphasizes product innovation and clearing integration via Euronext Clearing, positioning it against global peers' scale advantages in and algorithmic execution. To counter these dynamics, Euronext's "Innovate for Growth 2027" plan, unveiled in November 2024, prioritizes non-volume revenue streams like data services and fixed-income expansion while scaling spot and trading to enhance competitiveness against U.S. incumbents. This includes bolstering fixed-income, currencies, and commodities (FICC) markets post its independence from ICE's NYSE ownership, aiming to diversify beyond equities where global rivals hold commanding leads.

Strategic Responses to Fragmentation

Market fragmentation in , intensified by MiFID II's promotion of among trading venues, has dispersed liquidity and increased costs for participants. Euronext counters this through its pan-European footprint, enabling consolidated access across markets in , , , , , , and . In post-trade services, fragmentation arises from over 30 national central securities depositories (CSDs), resulting in high operational costs and limited . Euronext's "Innovate for Growth 2027" strategic plan, announced on November 8, 2024, designates reducing post-trade fragmentation as a priority, aiming to position Euronext Securities as the CSD of choice via an integrated and harmonized client experience across geographies. This includes expanding digital services like tax and data solutions, with an integrated CSD platform rollout targeted by 2027. The plan projects over 5% annual organic revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth from 2023 to 2027. A key initiative is the pan-European CSD offering, launching in September 2026, which provides a single point of entry for settlement and custody in , the , , , , and . This leverages TARGET2-Securities (T2S) for while fostering competition to lower costs, as highlighted in an October 2025 Oxera report commissioned by Euronext. By consolidating settlement on its markets, announced in March 2025, Euronext seeks to enhance competitiveness. For trading, Euronext addresses fragmentation in specific segments like exchange-traded funds (). On September 30, 2025, it launched Euronext ETF Europe, the first fully integrated pan-European ETF platform with a single listing accessible to all Euronext members and a centralized on the Optiq trading system. This unifies across jurisdictions, improving , narrowing spreads, and reducing regulatory duplication for issuers. In , commodities, and currencies (FICC), the 2027 plan expands clearing via Euronext Clearing, including repo clearing and , using the MTS platform to defragment post-trade processes. These efforts integrate the trading, clearing, and settlement to mitigate fragmentation's and drawbacks.

Controversies and Criticisms

Operational Outages and Reliability Issues

On October 19, 2020, Euronext experienced a major operational outage lasting approximately three hours, halting trading across its cash markets in , , , , , , and . The disruption stemmed from a technical failure in a system, described by Euronext as a "" issue, which prevented the switchover to backup systems and led to the failure of the closing auction process. All trades executed after 5:30 CET (or 5:28 CET for certain markets) were canceled, and trading resumed the following day after remediation, though the incident amplified concerns over single-point failures in consolidated exchange operations. A subsequent derivatives trading outage occurred on June 17, 2021, affecting contracts for about four hours starting shortly before 0700 GMT, due to an unidentified glitch in the trading platform. Euronext resolved the issue without impacting cash markets or post-trade processes, but the event contributed to scrutiny of the exchange's system resilience amid a pattern of disruptions in 2020. Earlier incidents include a February 20, 2012, disruption in that halted morning trading for hours due to technical problems, followed by another on May 7, 2012, affecting the same venue. More recently, on October 16, 2025, a technical hitch disrupted Euronext's grain market positions data reporting, though it did not halt trading operations. In response to such events, Euronext maintains a Market Outage Plan with 24-hour monitoring teams and conducts dry-runs for serious incidents, emphasizing procedures for communication and recovery. However, European investors have criticized exchanges like Euronext for inadequate handling of outages, including poor communication and insufficient contingency measures, as highlighted in a 2020 incident where the prolonged exacerbated market volatility. These reliability challenges have prompted calls for reforms, such as enhanced benchmark pricing resilience and standardized outage protocols, to mitigate risks from technical dependencies.

Political Protests and Social Incidents

On April 20, 2023, approximately 200 to 300 French protesters opposed to President Emmanuel Macron's , which raised the from 62 to 64, briefly invaded the lobby of Euronext's headquarters in the La business district. The demonstrators, including union members waving flags and deploying flares that filled the space with smoke, chanted against corporate influence and demanded contributions from large firms to fund social security amid the reforms. Euronext reported no disruption to trading or operations, and the incursion lasted only minutes before security intervened; similar actions had previously targeted corporate offices like and . In , activists occupied Beursplein, the square directly in front of the Amsterdam stock exchange building housing Euronext's operations (then under ), on April 19, 2012, as part of global anti-financial system demonstrations. The protest highlighted grievances against banking bailouts and following the , with participants camping out to draw attention to the exchange's role in capital markets. No trading interruptions were reported, and the occupation was cleared without major violence. In , labor unions representing employees, acquired by Euronext in 2021, announced 's first-ever stock exchange strike for July 2024, protesting alleged underinvestment and staff cuts under Euronext's management. Unions cited "constant, systematic disinvestment from ," prompting threats of service disruptions, though 's chair defended Euronext's integration as enhancing competitiveness. The action reflected broader tensions over post-acquisition labor conditions in Euronext's pan-European network, but it did not materialize into widespread operational halts. Broader anti-capitalist or climate-related demonstrations have occasionally gathered near Euronext venues, such as Yellow Vest protesters assembling at Paris's historic Place de la Bourse in to demand Macron's amid fuel tax disputes, though these did not directly target or enter active Euronext facilities. No verified fatalities, structural damage, or long-term closures have stemmed from such events at Euronext sites.

Market Data Practices and Fee Structures

Euronext disseminates real-time and delayed market data encompassing trade prices, depth, indices, and reference data across its pan-European markets. Delayed data is provided free for internal non-display use, such as algorithmic processing, while real-time access incurs fees differentiated by user type (professional versus non-professional), usage category (display for viewing on screens versus non-display for trading or ), and redistribution rights. Access requires adherence to the Euronext Market Data Agreement (EMDA), which governs collection, compilation, and dissemination, with direct feeds available via licensed vendors or Euronext's Connect platform. Fee structures, effective January 1, 2025, are tiered and monthly in euros (excluding VAT), with categories including direct access, redistribution licenses, public display, and non-display enterprise use. For instance, professional real-time Level 2 cash market data (full order book depth) costs €4,849.95 per month for direct access, while non-professional display fees for indices like Euronext All Indices Premium are €2.10 monthly. Redistribution licenses add costs, such as €4,849.95 for real-time Level 2 data, with discounts like 50% off for the first 12 months on new real-time licenses; public display fees, e.g., for CAC 40® on TV, are €113.50. Non-display fees for high-volume trading uses can reach €5,198.65 for enterprise Category 1 access to Level 2 data. Policies emphasize compliance with MiFID II's reasonable cost requirements, with updates notified via email and the Connect portal. Criticisms of these practices center on fee escalation amid stagnant or declining trading volumes, with a February 2025 report by Market Structure Partners ("There's No Market in Market Data") alleging exponential price surges from 2017 to 2024 across European exchanges, including Euronext, to compensate for a 17% drop in equity transacted value between 2020 and 2023. The report claims Euronext's market data revenues rose disproportionately, potentially stifling market liquidity and innovation by burdening vendors and end-users. Euronext has countered that the analysis contains factual errors, such as ignoring acquisitions of Borsa Italiana, MT Newedge, and European Energy Exchange, which adjusted non-professional fees downward by 40% in real terms; it maintains data revenues stable at 11% of total revenue from 2020 to 2023, not the reported increase to 19%. Euronext further notes a 300% rise in infrastructure investments (2017-2023), including the Optiq trading platform, to enhance data quality and resilience, arguing that fees reflect value provided rather than gouging. Independent analyses, however, highlight broader European exchange trends of relabeling fees and bundling to obscure increases, contributing to over-reliance on data sales amid competitive fragmentation.

ESG Initiatives and Defense Sector Involvement

Euronext promotes ESG integration through dedicated reporting frameworks and indices designed to encourage sustainable practices among its listed issuers. Its annual ESG Trends Reports, such as the 2025 edition analyzing verified disclosures from over 1,550 companies, document advancements in emissions transparency, with Scope 1 and 2 reporting rates rising to 70% from prior years, alongside increased adoption of science-based targets aligned with the . The exchange's ESG Reporting Guide, updated in May 2022 and refreshed in 2025 to incorporate evolving EU directives like the Reporting Directive (CSRD), provides issuers with standardized metrics for disclosing climate risks, impacts, and structures, emphasizing 1.5°C-aligned pathways. Euronext also maintains ESG indices, such as those tracking low-carbon leaders, which have facilitated over €50 billion in sustainable investments as of 2024 by benchmarking companies on verifiable data rather than subjective ratings. In parallel, Euronext facilitates listings and financing for defense sector firms, hosting major players like France's Thales and Dassault Aviation, as well as Norway's Kongsberg Gruppen, which collectively represent significant market capitalization amid Europe's post-2022 surge in military expenditures exceeding €300 billion annually. This involvement has intersected with ESG criteria, prompting Euronext in May 2025 to revise index methodologies in alignment with European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) guidelines, restricting exclusions solely to armaments banned by international treaties like the Ottawa Convention on landmines, thereby enabling broader participation by conventional defense manufacturers previously sidelined by expansive "controversial weapons" definitions. The adjustments, justified by Euronext CEO Stéphane Boujnah as essential for European strategic autonomy amid geopolitical tensions, have drawn scrutiny from ESG purists who argue they dilute sustainability mandates, though empirical data indicates most defense firms score medium ESG risk ratings due to robust governance offsetting sector-specific social concerns. These developments reflect a pragmatic recalibration, as defense inflows into ESG-aligned funds reached record levels in 2025—surpassing €10 billion in —driven by underinvestment risks exposed by conflicts in and the , rather than inherent ethical conflicts, with Euronext positioning itself to capture IPOs from fragmented, often unlisted, . Critics from groups contend such inclusions undermine ESG's original intent to prioritize non-violent sectors, yet Euronext maintains compliance with EU rules permitting dual-use technologies, underscoring that exclusions were previously misaligned with regulatory realities and demands for diversified resilience.
