A significant step in building a robust European market for digital assets to support growing institutional demand
Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 9 February 2026 – Euronext, the leading European market infrastructure, today announces the launch of a new professional segment on ETFplus.
The new segment on ETFplus enables professional investors active in the Italian market to easily access exchange-traded crypto instruments, offering them the ability to build crypto exposure within a transparent, competitive and regulated market environment.
Euronext has confirmed expertise in this field and already offers a wide range of crypto-linked exchange-traded instruments on its Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam venues, providing investors with access to over 100 products linked to a broad range of cryptocurrencies.
All instruments admitted to the new professional segment on ETFplus will be traded in euro, cleared by Euronext Clearing and settled through Euronext Securities Milan. This reflects last year’s expansion of Euronext Clearing’s services to include cryptocurrency exchange-traded products and supports the integration of digital assets into the regulated financial ecosystem.
The initiative contributes to the development of a strong European market for digital assets by making these innovative financial instruments accessible within a robust regulatory framework. It ensures both efficiency and investor protection, aligns with supervisory authorities’ recommendations, and addresses the growing adoption of digital assets in international capital markets.
Instruments admitted to the professional segment are reserved exclusively for professional clients. Access is provided through authorised members directly connected to the ETFplus market, who are responsible for ensuring that these products are made available exclusively to professional clients.
Aurelien Narminio, Head of Indices, ETFs and Securitised Derivatives at Euronext, said: “The launch of the professional segment on ETFplus marks a significant milestone in our efforts to broaden access to crypto-linked instruments within Euronext’s regulated market infrastructure. It underscores our determination to foster a robust European market for digital assets. Building on our strong footprint and track record in crypto-linked assets, this new segment lays a solid foundation for further innovation and supports the growing demand for these assets in a transparent, competitive and regulated framework.”
