Euronext to Clear Crypto ETPs

Euronext says its central counterparty services, via Euronext Clearing, will be expanded to include cryptocurrency exchange traded products (ETPs).

This service, which will cover crypto ETPs listed on Euronext only, went live on 3 March, and, the exchange group says, marks a significant step in integrating digital assets into the regulated financial ecosystem.

The expansion of clearing services is crucial in driving broader adoption of cryptocurrency ETPs within the regulated financial system, it continues, adding with the launch, investors will have access to a wider selection of ETPs underlying cryptocurrencies while benefiting from the security, efficiency, and transparency of a regulated marketplace.

Euronext says 156 crypto ETPs from multiple issuers are listed and traded on its markets as of end of February 2025. It adds it has proactively developed the necessary market infrastructure to ensure strong safeguards, optimal liquidity, and tight spreads fostering a secure and transparent trading environment.

“Euronext is committed to fostering innovation within a well-regulated market, ensuring both growth and compliance,” says Anthony Attia, global head of derivatives and post-trade at Euronext. “We actively collaborate with regulators to advance market innovation while maintaining a secure and transparent financial ecosystem. With the continued expansion of our EMIR-authorised clearing house, we are enhancing our services to meet our clients’ evolving needs, providing a trusted and efficient marketplace for members and investors.”
