Since the completion of the migration of Borsa Italiana's cash equity markets to Optiq®, we have been happy to focus our efforts on the expansion of our order book functionalities and product offering. Dark and GEM expansions are now becoming reality thanks to the engagement with you.

ENX Mid-Point Match

Available for testing: Euronext Dark, Midpoint and Sweep functionalities

What

  • Euronext Mid-Point Match is the dark pool embedded on Optiq® which will offer (a) pure Dark orders at midpoint, and (b) sweep functionalities from Dark to Lit.
  • Scope: Euronext stocks, continuously traded only, under RPW and LIS waivers.

Why

  • You can now benefit from zero latency in pegging to Euronext midpoint, and zero latency for sweeping from dark to lit. Other dark pools cannot offer this on Euronext stocks due to latency between the data centres of MTFs (London) and Euronext (Bergamo).
  • Unique liquidity will also be provided also by our ecosystem of local brokers, which will interact with market makers and global banks.

When

  • Test environment opens on 31 January 2024.
  • Official launch is planned for end Q1 or early Q2 2024 – subject to regulatory approval
