Clients will be able to onboard and test Euronext’s pan-European central securities depository (CSD) model in the first semester of 2026.
The migration of it’s own shares Euronext Securities Milan earlier this year marked the start of the operator’s CSD network, Euronext Securities, becoming the CSD of reference for France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, for equities and exchange-traded products in September 2026.
Euronext Securities is working with issuing agents – including Uptevia, ABN AMRO Bank, Rabobank and Banque Internationale à Luxembourg – in its initiative to build a European-wide issuance model. A press release said the initiative aims to enhance the liquidity and attractiveness of their securities, broaden the accessible investor base and improve shareholder engagement and governance. It also creates the foundation for a more integrated and competitive capital market.
Euronext said future expansion will enable clients to centralise and optimise post-trade operations across all EU markets. Euronext Securities serves more than 7,700 issuers.
Market participants will gain access to a single, consolidated platform for settlement and custody across multiple EU markets, simplifying operations and enhancing efficiency. Streamlined processes and harmonised systems will reduce operational and execution costs, while state-of-the-art technology will foster automation, transparency and innovation. Issuers will benefit from broader cross-border investor reach and enhanced liquidity, supported by simplified, faster and more transparent corporate action management, says Euronext.
Pierre Davoust, head of Euronext Securities, said: “Euronext’s European CSD expansion marks a major milestone in our commitment to building a more unified and efficient European capital market. By working together with leading financial institutions, we are unlocking new opportunities for issuers and investors, strengthening Europe’s financial infrastructure and supporting the EU’s vision for a true Savings and Investment Union.”
