EU & ESMA

EU's first equity consolidated tape goes live. EuroCTP B.V. — authorised by ESMA on 27 July 2026 as the EU's Consolidated Tape Provider for shares and ETFs under a five-year mandate — switched on 14 September 2026, aggregating real-time pre- and post-trade data from roughly 130 EU trading venues, with a transition period for operational and technical finalisation running to 30 September. It is the single largest MiFIR-review structural milestone to date, giving the market its first EU-wide consolidated equity price feed. ESMA authorisation notice
