Deutsche Börse Group is introducing an expanded market model that combines Xetra's central market liquidity with 24/7 trading via 360X, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group.October 28, 2026 FRANKFURT (Deutsche Börse). Existing Deutsche Börse customers can connect directly to 360X and trade traditional DAX ISINs. Post-trade settlement takes place via their existing Clearstream accounts. As of today, the Deutsche Börse Group offers 24/7 trading coverage for DAX 40 stocks. 360X handles executions outside regular trading hours via its regulated MTF segment.360X handles RfQ (Request for Quote) executions during night hours and on weekends. Xetra continues to provide liquidity during core European trading hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CET) as well as an expanded retail service on T7 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. CET). Together, this model enables customers to trade DAX 40 stocks in euros even outside of regular trading hours. This is an important step toward a European market infrastructure that is available around the clock.Under this dual offering, standard DAX 40 instruments will be traded exclusively via 360X’s RfQ module. Xetra’s core processes remain unaffected. The regular auction cycles will be maintained; closing prices on 360X outside of trading hours will have no impact on opening prices or on the opening auctions on Xetra.Existing Deutsche Börse customers can activate 360X through a simplified administrative process in the Deutsche Börse Member Section. In addition, market participants can continue to use their existing post-trade connections, as all trades are settled directly through their existing Clearstream accounts.“Deutsche Börse Group aims to be the first European financial market infrastructure to enable 24/7 trading of traditional blue-chip stocks,” says Eric Leupold, Head of Cash Market at Deutsche Börse Group.“By making the DAX 40 stocks tradable on 360X, we securely combine deep, regulated liquidity pools with the flexibility of round-the-clock availability. This allows our clients to manage risk whenever global markets move—while fully preserving the integrity of the Xetra core benchmark cycles,” adds Carlo Kölzer, Head of Digital and FX at Deutsche Börse Group and Co-CEO of 360X.October 28, 2026, © Deutsche Börse AG
