ICE ETF Hub Expands to 33 Countries With European and Australian Regulatory Approval

Intercontinental Exchange announced that ICE ETF Hub received regulatory approval to expand into Europe and Australia on May 27, extending the platform's operational reach to 33 countries and jurisdictions. The approvals include permission to operate in the Netherlands with passporting rights into 29 additional European countries including Ireland, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, and France, plus an Australian Market License for local participants.

The expansion arrives as global ETF and exchange-traded product assets surpassed $15 trillion in 2026, more than doubling from approximately $7 trillion five years earlier, according to ETFGI. ICE ETF Hub operates as an open architecture platform designed to streamline the creation and redemption of ETF shares, a process central to maintaining liquidity and ensuring ETF market prices remain aligned with underlying net asset values.
