Cboe Clear Europe Adds Fixed-Income SFT Clearing on Aug. 24 as Daily Loans Reach €9 Billion

3 articles · Updated · Markets Media · Aug 6

August 24 is the target launch date for Cboe Clear Europe’s expansion of securities financing transaction clearing into fixed income, adding government and corporate bond lending.
The new service will cover certain EU, Swiss and UK bonds for all participants, plus U.S. Treasuries and U.S. corporate bonds for non-U.S. lenders and borrowers.
Cboe said demand for greater capital efficiency and lower risk-weighted asset exposure is driving the move from bilateral to centrally cleared securities lending.
The expansion builds on the 2025 SFT launch for European equities and ETFs, which now handles about €9 billion in daily notional outstanding loans and more than 1,000 settlements a day.
Settlement will run through Euroclear Bank, CREST, the Federal Reserve and DTC, extending Cboe’s push to build a broader global securities-lending clearing network.
