Traded assets include regulated [[equities]], [[exchange-traded fund]]s (ETF), warrants and certificates, [[bond (finance)|bond]]s, [[derivative (finance)|derivative]]s, [[commodities]], [[foreign exchange trading|foreign exchange]] as well as [[Index (economics)|indices]]. As of March 2025, Euronext operated nearly 1,800 listed [[issuer]]s with a [[market capitalization]] of approximately €6.3 trillion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Equities - Stocks - Shares {{!}} Euronext Markets |url=https://live.euronext.com/en/products/equities |access-date=2025-10-24 |website=live.euronext.com}}</ref>

Euronext is the largest center for debt and funds listings in the world, and provides technology and [[managed services]] to third parties. In addition to its main regulated market, it operates [[Euronext Growth]] and [[Euronext Access]], providing access to listing for [[small and medium-sized enterprises]]. [[Euronext Paris]] accounts for more than 80% of Euronext’s total market cap. It also plays a key role in commodities trading, offering markets for power through '''Nord Pool''' and for fish through '''Fish Pool''', alongside other agricultural commodities such as milling wheat and rapeseed.

Post-trade services include [[Clearing (finance)|clearing]] performed by Euronext's multi-asset [[Clearing house (finance)|clearing house]], [[Euronext Clearing]], headquartered in [[Rome]], as well as [[central securities depository|custody and settlement]] performed by Euronext's [[central securities depository]] (CSD), [[Euronext Securities]].

Euronext traces its origins back to some of the world's oldest bourses, formed in the [[Low Countries]]' shifting trade centres, [[Bourse at Bruges|Bruges]], [[Bourse at Antwerp|Antwerp]] and Amsterdam in 1285, 1485 and 1602, respectively, as well as to the foundation of the [[Euronext Paris|Paris Bourse]] in 1724. In its present form, Euronext was established in September 2000 through the merger of the bourses in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. The goal was to create a single, integrated, and liquid market for securities trading across Europe. Since its inception, Euronext has continued to expand, and now operates stock exchanges in several European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, and Norway. Its creation was followed by the introduction of the [[euro|single currency]] and harmonisation of financial markets.

In August 2023, the company formed [[EuroCTP]] as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a [[National market system plan|consolidated tape]] for the [[European Union]], as part of the [[Capital Markets Union]] proposed by the [[European Commission]].

===2000–2007: Founding merger and early acquisitions===
[[File:Original Euronext logo.svg|thumb|left|Logo used between 2000 and 2007]]

In 1998, the [[London Stock Exchange]] and {{Lang|de|[[Deutsche Börse]]|italic=no}} announced their intention of forming an alliance to fend off competition from the United States, and take advantage from the European Union's (EU) [[euro|single currency]] and harmonisation of [[financial market]]s.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/1999/05/pan-european-bourse-in-the-works/|title=Pan-European Bourse in the Works|magazine=Wired|access-date=17 January 2022|archive-date=23 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123144139/https://www.wired.com/1999/05/pan-european-bourse-in-the-works/|url-status=live}}</ref> In April 1999 the stock exchanges in [[Euronext Paris|Paris]], [[SIX Swiss Exchange|Zurich]], [[Bolsa de Madrid|Madrid]], [[Brussels Stock Exchange|Brussels]], [[Euronext Amsterdam|Amsterdam]], and [[Italian Bourse|Milan]] signed a memorandum of understanding in Madrid, which formalised plans to include these bourses as well.

Ultimately, only three decided to proceed, and on 22 September 2000 Euronext was formed following a merger of the [[Amsterdam Stock Exchange]],<ref name="NYSE Euronext">{{Cite web|title=Amsterdam Stock Exchange|url=https://www.nyx.com/fr/who-we-are/history/amsterdam|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407104827/https://www.nyx.com/fr/who-we-are/history/amsterdam|archive-date=7 April 2014|access-date=27 March 2014|website=NYSE Euronext}}</ref>  [[Brussels Stock Exchange]], and [[Paris Bourse]].<ref name="foundation1" /><ref name="foundation2" /><ref name="foundation3" /><ref name="foundation4" />

In December 2001, Euronext acquired the shares of the [[London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange]] (LIFFE), forming Euronext.LIFFE.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-03-25 |title=InterContinental Exchange Acquires Yellow Jacket Software to Expand its Electronic Trading of OTC Derivatives |url=https://www.wallstreetandtech.com/electronic-trading/intercontinental-exchange-acquires-yello/206905693 |access-date=2025-06-19 |website=Wall Street & Technology}}</ref>

In 2002, the group merged with the Portuguese stock exchange Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP), renamed [[Euronext Lisbon]].<ref name="foundation3" />

In 2003, Euronext cash products were integrated onto a single platform (NSC).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.euronext.com/en/user/login?destination=%2Fen%2F20-years-euronext|title=Log in|website=Euronext|access-date=11 July 2021|archive-date=11 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711123701/https://www.euronext.com/en/user/login?destination=%2Fen%2F20-years-euronext|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2004, Euronext derivatives products were integrated onto ''LIFFE CONNECT''.

In 2005, Euronext introduced [[Alternext]] as a market segment to help finance small and mid-class companies in the Eurozone.

The merger was completed on 4 April 2007, forming [[NYSE Euronext]].

The new firm, [[NYSE Euronext]], was headquartered in New York City, with European operations and its trading platform run out of Paris. Then-NYSE [[Chief Executive Officer|CEO]] [[John Thain]], who was to head NYSE Euronext, intended to use the combination to form the world's first global stock market, with continuous trading of stocks and derivatives over a 21-hour time span.  In addition, the two exchanges hoped to add [[Borsa Italiana]] (the Milan stock exchange) into the grouping.

In April 2021, Euronext completed the acquisition of the Borsa Italiana Group for €4.4 billion, enhancing its leadership in the European financial markets. This acquisition integrated the Milan Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana) and its subsidiary MTS, a leader in fixed income markets, into Euronext. As of 2024, Euronext has further consolidated its market position through technological advancements, partnerships, and sustainability initiatives.

On 23 August 2023, Euronext formed [[EuroCTP]] as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a [[National market system plan|consolidated tape]] for the [[European Union]], as part of the [[Capital Markets Union]] proposed by the [[European Commission]].

In November 2024, Euronext announced a new three-year strategic plan titled "Innovate for Growth 2027", aimed at accelerating revenue growth through innovation and business diversification. The plan focuses on three main priorities:

# Growth in non-volume-related activities: expansion of post-trade services, data solutions, and technology services, which currently account for 60% of total revenues.
# Expansion in fixed income, currencies, and commodities (FICC) markets: enhancing trading and clearing capabilities, with a particular focus on the energy market through Nord Pool.
# Leadership in equity trading: strengthening Euronext's dominant position in equity markets and becoming the leading ETF market in Europe.

The strategic plan reaffirms Euronext's commitment to sustainability and ESG  by setting a Net Zero target for 2027. It also states a target of an annual revenue and income growth of over 5%, with capital expenditure (CAPEX) estimated between 4% and 6% of total revenues. In addition, Euronext announced a share buyback program of up to €300 million, set to be completed within a maximum of 12 months starting in November 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Euronext announces its new strategic plan "Innovate for Growth 2027" |url=https://www.euronext.com/en/about/media/euronext-press-releases/euronext-announces-its-new-strategic-plan-innovate-for-growth |website=euronext.com}}</ref>
