Subscribe to our newsletter

Cboe Global Markets has announced that Cboe Clear Europe has begun clearing European Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs), marking a significant step in its strategy to expand as a multi-asset class clearing house. The initial cleared trades involved Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking as Principal Lender and JP Morgan as Borrower. This new service transitions SFTs in European equities and ETFs from a bilateral to a centrally cleared model, aiming to improve capital efficiency and support market growth.

The platform leverages the infrastructure of Cboe Clear Europe, the largest pan-European cash equities clearing house. Key features include the use of BNY and JP Morgan as Tri-Party Collateral Agents and Pirum for trade instruction management. The service covers settlement across 19 European CSDs and is designed to reduce capital burdens under regulations such as CSDR, SFTR, and Basel IV. Additional benefits include cross-margining efficiencies, streamlined settlement, and enhanced operational practices.
