From 24 August 2026, market participants will be able to centrally clear fixed income instruments using Cboe Clear Europe’s securities finance transaction service.
The firm says the move aligns with its strategy to bring central clearing to the global securities lending market.
The service will include certain EU, Swiss and UK government and corporate bonds for all lenders and borrowers, along with US Treasuries and U.S. corporate bonds for non-US lenders and borrowers. Settlement will take place via Euroclear Bank for European and Swiss instruments, CREST for UK instruments, the Federal Reserve for US Treasuries, and the Depository Trust Company for US corporate bonds.
The expansion builds on the successful launch of Cboe Clear Europe’s SFT clearing service in 2025, which initially covered lending European cash equities and ETFs across 19 European central securities depositories. Since going live, the service has been adopted by a range of principal lenders, agent lenders and borrowers, with daily notional outstanding loan values of €9 billionand over 1,000 settlements per day.
