Deutsche Boerse owns Clearstream, one of Europe's biggest settlement houses. Euronext is reportedly considering the acquisition of either LCH.Clearnet or Borsa Italia as it seeks to stay competitive, in the light of the ongoing $30bn merger of Deutsche Boerse and the London Stock Exchange. The deal would be a major boost for both companies, which have been struggling with falling share prices since their initial public offering (IPO) last year.
