Cboe Clear Europe Embraces Crypto Revolution with ETP Listings

Europe’s clearing infrastructure takes a leap into digital assets as Cboe Clear Europe greenlights crypto ETPs.

Institutional investors gain regulated exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum through exchange-traded products—just as traditional finance scrambles to stay relevant.

The move signals growing mainstream acceptance, though skeptics whisper about banks finally realizing they can’t ignore blockchain’s 24/7 markets.

Cboe Clear Europe is pleased to announce the expansion of its clearing services to include cryptocurrency-backed exchange-traded products (ETPs), following recent regulatory approval.

ETPs eligible for clearing will be required to meet specific criteria based on market capitalisation, and underlying asset availability and product types, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, XRP, and BNB. We will now work with venues that list these eligible products and look forward to sharing go-live dates in due course.

, said: “We are excited to broaden our clearing capabilities to encompass crypto-backed ETPs, marking another milestone in our mission to become a leading multi-asset class CCP in Europe.

As an organisation deeply committed to innovation and collaboration with clients to address their needs, we’re looking forward to enhancing the ability of investors to access to this evolving asset class through a highly regulated, trusted and proven market structure framework.”
