EUROPEAN UNION: Cboe Clear Europe to Expand Securities Financing Transactions Clearing into Fixed Income

Thursday August 6 2026

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), announced that Cboe Clear Europe, its pan-European clearing house, plans to expand its Securities Financing Transactions (SFT) clearing service to include the lending of Fixed Income instruments beginning August 24^th, 2026.

The service will include certain European Union, Swiss and UK government and corporate bonds for all lenders and borrowers, along with U.S. Treasuries and U.S. corporate bonds for non-U.S. lenders and borrowers. Settlement will take place via Euroclear Bank for European and Swiss instruments, CREST for UK instruments, the Federal Reserve for U.S. Treasuries, and the Depository Trust Company for U.S. corporate bonds.

By moving SFTs from a bilateral to a centrally cleared model, the service can help participants improve balance sheet efficiencies while simplifying a range of post-trade operations, including settlement, reporting and client onboarding.
