Euronext is delighted to share that we have been recognised at The TRADE Leaders in Trading Awards 2025, held this month in London. The awards, which celebrate the finest achievements in trading talent across asset managers, hedge funds, banks, brokers, exchanges and technology vendors, highlight excellence in the financial industry. At this year’s event, Euronext was honoured with Editor’s Choice Awards in the category of Outstanding European Derivatives Trading Venue. This award is a testament to the strength of our services, the trust our clients place in us and our continued efforts to drive innovation in European financial markets.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all of our clients, partners and stakeholders for their ongoing support. It is through our close collaboration and shared vision that we continue to reach new heights, and we remain committed to delivering value and excellence in every aspect of our business.
Winning Outstanding European Derivatives Trading Venue highlights Euronext’s position as a leading destination for equity derivatives trading in Europe. Our derivatives franchise has seen strong momentum over the past year, including 129 million financial derivatives lots cleared in 2024, up +18% year-on-year, through Euronext Clearing.
A defining achievement of 2025 was Euronext’s expansion into fixed-income derivatives, marking a significant milestone under our ‘Innovate for Growth 2027’ strategic plan. In September 2025, we launched the first-ever Cash-Settled Mini Bond Futures on key European government bonds, including:
Italy: 10-year BTP and 30-year BTP
France: 10-year OAT
Germany: 10-year Bund
Spain: 10-year Bono
These new contracts are designed to enhance market accessibility with smaller contract sizes of €25,000 notional value and to provide cost-efficient, transparent exposure to sovereign debt markets. Since launch, we have seen strong interest and growth in these contracts, supported by guaranteed liquidity from dedicated market makers and robust risk management through Euronext Clearing. This successful launch highlights our commitment to diversifying our offerings and growing the pie for European financial markets by introducing new trading opportunities and innovative solutions.
Our comprehensive product suite, coupled with the efficiency of the Optiq® trading platform, has been instrumental in offering a seamless, liquid and transparent environment for our clients. The integration of Borsa Italiana into our offerings and the expansion of our equity derivatives products have enhanced our competitive edge. Since this integration, we have continued to grow our member base by leveraging cross-membership, with legacy participants from Borsa Italiana becoming members of IDEM and vice versa. This deeper engagement across our markets strengthens liquidity and participation, reinforcing Euronext’s role as a trusted venue for institutional and retail investors alike, offering the liquidity, innovation and operational excellence necessary for success in today’s markets.
Our Mini Single Stock Options continue to gain strong momentum, with more than 200,000 contracts traded since launch. Introduced in Q2 2025 on French, Dutch and German stocks, Euronext became the first exchange to bring these innovative contracts to market. Designed with a smaller lot size of 10, compared with 100 for standard stock options, mini options make derivatives trading significantly more accessible for retail investors, particularly on high-value stocks. Since their introduction, these contracts have seen rapid adoption, coexisting alongside standard contracts and attracting new investors with steadily growing volumes and open interest. Their gradual uptake reflects rising retail engagement, supported by active market makers ensuring continuous liquidity and contributing to the continued development of the derivatives market.
Our retail education programme for retail investors has been key to empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to engage in derivatives trading. Developed in collaboration with key market players, this programme is unique in Europe and offers an unparalleled range of resources covering everything from the fundamentals of options and futures trading to advanced strategies, making it easier for retail investors to deepen their understanding and optimise their portfolios using derivatives. It has now been expanded into five languages to facilitate and increase access for retail investors.
Our recognition at the TRADE Leaders in Trading 2025 Editor’s Choice Awards reflect the strong partnerships we have built with our clients, as well as our dedication to shaping the future of European capital markets. As we move forward, we remain focused on delivering innovative solutions, expanding our product offerings and ensuring the resilience of our services.
At Euronext, our commitment to the development of an integrated, competitive and transparent European financial market infrastructure remains unwavering. These achievements inspire us to continue pushing boundaries, driving progress and providing our clients with the tools they need to thrive. We are deeply grateful for the trust our clients have placed in us and look forward to continuing this journey together, as we work to achieve even greater success in the years ahead.
