Euronext Claims 29% of Transparent European Stock Market Trades
On Monday, July 6, 2026, Euronext released its monthly trading volume report for June. The document does not detail volume figures within its main content but updates the scope and key presentation elements of the group, now expanded to include Greece following the acquisition of a majority stake in the Athens Stock Exchange.
A Group Present in Eight European Markets
The announcement covers the markets of Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo, and Paris. Euronext operates regulated markets in Belgium, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal. The group notes that these markets host over 1,800 listed issuers, with a total market capitalization of 7,000 billion euros. Euronext also indicates that it accounts for 29% of European stock exchanges conducted on transparent markets, where buy and sell orders are visible before execution.
Athens Integrated into the Scope
Euronext recalls acquiring a majority stake in the Athens Stock Exchange in November 2025. This operation added a stock exchange, a central securities depository, and a clearinghouse to its network. This expansion strengthens the group's pan-European positioning, already present in several major financial centers on the continent. The announcement now lists Athens alongside Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo, and Paris.
A Diversified Market Infrastructure
Euronext presents itself as an infrastructure covering the entire capital markets chain, from listing to trading, including clearing, settlement-delivery, securities custody, and services to issuers and investors. The group also operates MTS, one of the leading electronic bond markets in Europe, as well as Nord Pool, the European electricity market. Its products notably include stocks, foreign exchange, ETFs, bonds, derivatives, commodities, and indices.
