Eurex Clearing Circular 012/25 Introduction of the New Liquidity Provider Program for EURO STOXX 50® Index Options (OESX)

1.    Introduction

As part of the introduction of the new Liquidity Provider Program in EURO STOXX 50® Index Options (OESX), as detailed in Eurex Circular 020/25, Eurex aims to enhance market stability, reward exceptional performance and create a fairer trading environment. 

To this end, Eurex Clearing AG will offer reduced fees for EURO STOXX 50® Index Options (OESX) as defined per 3.1.3 of the Eurex Clearing Price List. The fee reduction applies to M-Accounts, which are designated for market-making activities, and will cover transactions executed via the Order Book, Eurex EnLight, TES (Trade Entry Services), and Eurex EnLight non-disclosed and TES bilateral non-disclosed (non-disclosed as defined per 3.2.1 of the Eurex Contract Specifications). The changes introduce reduced fees when contract volumes exceed thresholds of 2,000 and 8,000 contracts, with specific reduced fee rates applied for each threshold as specified in section 3 of this circular. The addition of reduced fee thresholds on the M account shall take effect from 1 July 2025.
