Euroclear Collateral Highway Surpasses €1 Trillion Mark

Euroclear saw daily collateral outstanding hit 1 trillion euros on its flagship Collateral Highway at the end of last week.

The peak is due to the significant rise in demand for liquidity and collateral optimization, as a result of regulations and monetary policies.

“We greatly value the trust you have shown in us and will continue to work hard to develop our performance, security, ease of use and our partnerships, including with the liquidity ecosystem around T2S, so that you can continue to maximize your collateral value and meet your liquidity needs whenever and wherever they arise,” the post-trade provider said on its website.

In 2014, Euroclear reported a 12.1% increase in collateral outstanding on Collateral Highway when it hit €883.1 billion.
