Euroclear to Acquire Xtrakter from ICMA
Euroclear and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) signed an agreement whereby Euroclear SA/NV will acquire 100% of Xtrakter, the ICMA subsidiary, for an undisclosed cash amount. Xtrakter owns TRAX, a trade matching and regulatory reporting system that also provides market and reference data.
Pending receipt of regulatory approvals, Xtrakter will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Euroclear SA/NV and a sister company to the Euroclear group’s international and national central securities depositories, and EMXCo. Euroclear says that the Xtrakter business will complement the OTC trade matching and routing service (ETCMS) it has offered since 2000.
