Leonteq has been operating as a leading market maker for equities and ETFs on BX Swiss since April 2024. In its new role in the ETP segment, the company is strengthening its commitment to ensuring high liquidity, competitive prices and reliable quality in exchange trading.

"The expansion of Leonteq's market-making activities into the ETP segment underscores our firm commitment to further developing BX Swiss as a dynamic and innovative stock exchange," says David Kunz, COO of BX Swiss. "Investors benefit from enhanced liquidity, competitive pricing, and efficient access to an expanding universe of exchange-traded products."

Leonteq has been a strategic partner and shareholder of BX Swiss since the end of 2023. A key objective of this collaboration is to strengthen stock exchange trading in Switzerland and develop innovative trading and fee models.

Christian Spieler, CEO of Leonteq, stated: "We are proud to deepen our collaboration with BX Swiss and to take on this expanded responsibility. This marks another important step in our strategy to build a robust, technology-driven ecosystem for retail flow in Switzerland.”

Lang & Schwarz has been acting as market maker since 2018. This partnership has contributed significantly to the development and expansion of an attractive and diverse offering of financial products. The gradual transfer of market maker activities from Lang & Schwarz to Leonteq, a BX Swiss shareholder, has now been completed. Lang & Schwarz will continue to act as an issuer and market maker for its own Wikifolio index certificates traded on BX Swiss.
