Euroclear

What Euroclear does

Euroclear is a Belgian-headquartered Financial Market Infrastructure group operating the world's largest network of International and National Central Securities Depositories, holding over 50% of all EU-issued securities and processing more than 60% of EU settlement turnover across approximately 3,800 clients in 50+ markets. Founded in Brussels in 1968 by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company to introduce delivery-versus-payment book-entry settlement, the group has expanded to ~6,000 employees across 16 offices in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East, with €43 trillion in assets under custody and €3.6 trillion in funds under administration as of FY2025.

The platform is anchored by Euroclear Bank (the ICSD) and six national CSDs in Belgium, France, the Netherlands (combined as the harmonised ESES platform), the UK & International (operating the 30-year-old CREST system), Finland and Sweden. Core technology includes the ESES shared settlement platform, the CREST system undergoing multi-year modular transformation with MiniCREST as a resilience substitute, the D-FMI distributed-ledger platform for digital-native securities issuance, the Collateral Highway mobilising €2.3 trillion daily, and AI-powered settlement efficiency tools (EasyFocus+). The group is building integrated EU post-trade infrastructure linked to TARGET2-Securities as part of the Savings and Investments Union agenda, while extending into private markets (via the Goji acquisition) and tokenized assets (D-FMI, Pythagore, Canton Network co-chair role).

Euroclear generates revenue across ten primary streams: transaction-based settlement fees across 50+ currencies, asset-servicing and corporate-action fees (115,000+ events annually), collateral management and securities lending, banking and cash management services, issuer and primary-issuance fees, fund distribution via FundsPlace, tax services across 30+ markets, and notably interest income on client cash balances and on €210 billion of frozen Russian central bank assets immobilised under EU sanctions. FY2025 net profit reached €1.112 billion on an operating margin of 26.2% and EBITDA margin of 58%, with 5% adjusted net profit growth despite a 26% year-on-year decline in Russian-asset interest income.

Direct peers

• Clearstream: Clearstream is the International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) and European CSD operator owned by Deutsche Börse. It is the most direct peer to Euroclear, jointly operating the €15.3 trillion Eurobond ICSD market, co-authoring the digital asset interoperability whitepaper, and competing head-to-head in cross-border settlement, collateral management and fund services.
• DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation): DTCC is the US-based CSD/CCP operator and Euroclear's counterpart across the Atlantic. Co-chair of the Canton Foundation with Euroclear, co-author of the digital asset interoperability whitepaper, and a key partner on tokenisation initiatives including US Treasury tokenisation planned from H1 2026. Competes in collateral, settlement and digital asset infrastructure.
• LCH (London Clearing House): LCH, part of LSEG, is a major CCP that clears interest rate, credit, equity and commodity derivatives globally. Euroclear and LCH SA have a direct partnership enabling clearing members to settle Italian Government Debt traded on MTS and BrokerTec platforms, making LCH a key partner and structural peer in the European post-trade value chain.
• SIX SIS: SIX SIS is the Swiss CSD operated by SIX Group, providing settlement, safekeeping and asset servicing for the Swiss capital market. Comparable in product scope (ICSD-equivalent for Swiss franc securities) and competes with Euroclear for cross-border settlement volumes in non-EU European jurisdictions.
• Nasdaq CSD (Nordic CSD): Nasdaq CSD is the Nordic CSD serving Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden, a direct competitor to Euroclear Sweden and Euroclear Finland.

Broad incumbents

• Euronext: Euronext is a pan-European exchange operator that owns exchanges across Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal.
