Deutsche Börse Reviews Eurex Clearing, Clearstream Banking Licenses Amid Regulatory Shifts

Deutsche Börse Group is strategically reassessing the banking licenses of Eurex Clearing AG and Clearstream Banking AG following recent European regulatory amendments. The MOVE aims to streamline operations and reduce compliance overhead as the financial landscape evolves.

The European Central Bank's April 2025 decision to facilitate CCP access to overnight credit under the Target guideline marks a pivotal change. Eurex Clearing, the Eurozone's dominant central counterparty, plans to leverage this revised liquidity facility during market stress events.

Clearstream Banking's potential license surrender reflects adaptive measures to the updated CSD Regulation framework. These developments signal a broader institutional shift toward optimizing post-trade infrastructure in response to regulatory modernization.
