Eurex has welcomed plans to enhance its market access landscape with the launch of its new Sponsored Access model, set to go live on 10 November 2025.
This new access route aims to advance Eurex's strategy to lower entry barriers for a broader range of buy side firms, as well as other firms not holding a full exchange membership.
Consequently, the move is designed to provide firms with a streamlined and efficient path to trade directly on Eurex using their own systems.
For sponsoring members, this creates an opportunity to expand their client services by using Eurex's integrated risk controls to manage their clients' activity.
The registration process for this new service is fully electronic, ensuring a streamlined onboarding experience, the firm states.
Robbert Booij, CEO of Eurex, says: 鈥淎 key priority is to make our markets more accessible to a wider range of trading firms.
鈥淭his model provides top-tier access for firms with latency-sensitive strategies, all within a robust, exchange-controlled risk framework managed by their sponsoring members.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a significant step in enhancing our service portfolio and growing our distribution network.鈥�
Classified as direct electronic access (DEA) under the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) framework, the model allows an existing Eurex trading member to act as a sponsor.
This sponsor provides its clients with direct access to Eurex's T7 platform and full connectivity suite, enabling them to deploy latency-sensitive electronic trading strategies without the need for a full exchange membership.
