European capital market infrastructure Euronext today announced the launch of four mini ETF options, reflecting the increasing role of ETFs in European investors’ portfolios.

These mini ETF options create new trading opportunities for European investors active in the ETF space and provide investors with an efficient tool to shield the performance of their portfolios. This launch is a natural expansion of Euronext’s product offering, leveraging strong retail participation across Euronext markets.

In recent years, Euronext has significantly expanded its financial derivatives franchise with products designed for retail investors, including daily options on the CAC 40® Index, complementing the heavily traded daily options on the AEX® Index; mini single stock options; and mini futures on main European government bonds.

In parallel, Euronext has deployed a unique educational program for retail investors, available in five languages, offering foundational knowledge and practical insights on financial derivatives to empower them to make informed decisions.

The four mini ETF options have a contract size of just 10 units, a tenth of the size of a standard ETF options contract, and are euro-denominated, ensuring they are accessible and attractive to European retail and institutional investors. Several European retail brokers are supporting the launch of the new mini ETF options and will make them available on their broker platforms.

The new mini options are based on the following underlying ETFs:

• iShares AEX UCITS ETF (IE00B0M62Y33)
• iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF (IE00B4L5Y983)
• iShares NASDAQ 100 UCITS ETF (IE00B53SZB19)
• Vanguard S&P500 ETF (IE00B3XXRP09)

Anthony Attia, Global Head of Derivatives and Post Trade at Euronext, said:

“With the launch of mini ETF options, Euronext demonstrates once again its ability to adapt and expand its solutions on the financial derivatives market, responding to the needs of local and international investors. Having launched a fully integrated ETF ecosystem across European jurisdictions, Euronext ETF Europe, in September 2025, we continue to evolve our financial derivatives franchise, making Euronext the natural partner for retail investors who want to use financial derivatives to diversify their trading strategies. To develop these new products, we leveraged our strong ties with local financial communities and the full power of our integrated value chain, from listing to clearing.”
