Börse Berlin and Tradegate Exchange merge to form Tradegate Berlin Stock Exchange
One of Germany's oldest stock exchanges is preparing for the future. The Berlin Stock Exchange has broken new ground several times in its eventful 340-year history. It was one of the first stock exchanges to extend trading hours, enable trading in public funds and launch Equiduct, an innovative pan-European trading system.
In October 2019, Tradegate Exchange GmbH acquired 100 per cent of the shares of Börse Berlin AG. On 1 January 2026, the two exchanges will take the next step and merge the public institutions Börse Berlin and Tradegate Exchange to form a new stock exchange, the Tradegate Berlin Stock Exchange (Tradegate BSX).
The resources of the Berlin Stock Exchange will be integrated into the Tradegate Exchange offering, with liquidity pooled through the consolidation of parallel order books. Tradegate BSX will ensure the continuation of all listings on the regulated market. Tradegate BSX also plans to offer tailor-made services for the primary listing of Berlin-based start-ups.
Friederike von Hofe, Managing Director of Börse Berlin: ‘We are looking forward to a new chapter in Berlin's stock exchange history. The new stock exchange of Germany´s capital offers private investors liquid trading and the vibrant Berlin start-up scene a portal for the next step in its growth. Tradegate BSX is certainly well equipped for further expansion across Europe.’
The new institution is owned by Tradegate Exchange GmbH and its wholly owned subsidiary, Börse Berlin AG. Tradegate Exchange GmbH is owned by Deutsche Börse Group (42.84%), Tradegate AG (42.84%) and Verein Börsenplatz Berlin e.V. (14.32%).
