Euronext’s Cleared OTC Trade Facility
Euronext’s Cleared OTC Trade Facility allows to confirm a trade executed with another Euronext member on OTC for clearing purposes.
This functionality was previously offered on TCS under MiFID I and is rolled out on Euronext’s MIFID II tool, Saturn.
Saturn will report OTC trades in eligible equities, ETFs and rights that are passed through to the CCP (LCH SA and EuroCCP) to benefit from the central clearing guarantee.
