Traded assets include regulated equities, exchange-traded funds (ETF), warrants and certificates, bonds, derivatives, commodities, foreign exchange as well as indices. By the end of 2023, Euronext operated nearly 2,000 listed issuers with a market capitalization of approximately €6.6 trillion.{{Cite web |title=European leadership in equity listing and its global leadership in debt listing in 2023 |url=https://www.euronext.com/en/about/media/euronext-press-releases/euronext-confirms-its-european-leadership-equity-listing-and |website=Euronext.com}}

Euronext is the largest center for debt and funds listings in the world, and provides technology and managed services to third parties. In addition to its main regulated market, it operates Euronext Growth and Euronext Access, providing access to listing for small and medium-sized enterprises. Euronext Paris accounts for more than 80% of Euronext’s total market cap.

Euronext also plays a key role in commodities trading, offering markets for power through Nord Pool and for fish through Fish Pool, alongside other agricultural commodities such as milling wheat and rapeseed.

Post-trade services include clearing performed by Euronext's multi-asset clearing house, Euronext Clearing, headquartered in Rome, as well as custody and settlement performed by Euronext's central securities depository (CSD), Euronext Securities.

Euronext is registered in Amsterdam but its operational headquarters are located in Paris.{{Cite news|title=Euronext va s'installer à la Défense en 2015|work=Le Figaro|url=http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2014/11/25/97002-20141125FILWWW00245-euronext-va-s-installer-a-la-defense-en-2015.php|access-date=24 August 2019|archive-date=11 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230111194634/https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2014/11/25/97002-20141125FILWWW00245-euronext-va-s-installer-a-la-defense-en-2015.php|url-status=live}} It operates major stock exchanges in seven countries: France (Euronext Paris), the Netherlands (Euronext Amsterdam), Belgium (Euronext Brussels), Ireland (Euronext Dublin), Portugal (Euronext Lisbon), Italy (Borsa Italiana) and Norway (Euronext Oslo Børs).

With the acquisition of Borsa Italiana, Euronext has strengthened its position as a hub for debt and fixed income markets across Europe, particularly through the addition of MTS and Monte Titoli, Italy’s leading central securities depository.{{Cite web |last=Chan |first=Jeremy |date=17 September 2024 |title=Euronext completes Borsa Italiana merger after three years |url=https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/euronext-completes-borsa-italiana-merger-after-three-years-ff6a8116 |website=fnlondon.com}}

Euronext traces its origins back to the world's first bourses, formed in the Low Countries' shifting trade centres, Bruges, Antwerp and Amsterdam in 1285, 1485 and 1602, respectively, as well as to the foundation of the Paris Bourse in 1724. In its present form, Euronext was established in September 2000 through the merger of the bourses in Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. The goal was to create a single, integrated, and liquid market for securities trading across Europe. Since its inception, Euronext has continued to expand, and now operates stock exchanges in several European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, and Norway. Its creation was followed by the introduction of the single currency and harmonisation of financial markets.

The present day Euronext was spun off from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in 2014,{{Cite web|last=Chad Bray|date=27 May 2014|title=IntercontinentalExchange Set to Spin Off Euronext|url=https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/05/27/intercontinentalexchange-announces-plans-to-float-euronext/|access-date=25 August 2014|website=New York Times|archive-date=16 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220616224110/https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/05/27/intercontinentalexchange-announces-plans-to-float-euronext/|url-status=live}} shortly after ICE's acquisition of NYSE Euronext the year before.

On 23 August 2023, the company formed EuroCTP as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a consolidated tape for the European Union, as part of the Capital Markets Union proposed by the European Commission.

In 1998, the London Stock Exchange and {{Lang|de|Deutsche Börse|italic=no}} announced their intention of forming an alliance to fend off competition from the United States, and take advantage from the European Union's (EU) single currency and harmonisation of financial markets.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/1999/05/pan-european-bourse-in-the-works/|title=Pan-European Bourse in the Works|magazine=Wired|access-date=17 January 2022|archive-date=23 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123144139/https://www.wired.com/1999/05/pan-european-bourse-in-the-works/|url-status=live}} In April 1999 the stock exchanges in Paris, Zurich, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Milan signed a memorandum of understanding in Madrid, which formalised plans to include these bourses as well.

Ultimately, only three decided to proceed, and on 22 September 2000 Euronext was formed following a merger of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange,{{Cite web|title=Amsterdam Stock Exchange|url=https://www.nyx.com/fr/who-we-are/history/amsterdam|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407104827/https://www.nyx.com/fr/who-we-are/history/amsterdam|archive-date=7 April 2014|access-date=27 March 2014|website=NYSE Euronext}} Brussels Stock Exchange, and Paris Bourse.

In December 2001, Euronext acquired the shares of the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), forming Euronext.LIFFE.

In 2002, the group merged with the Portuguese stock exchange Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP), renamed Euronext Lisbon.

In 2003, Euronext cash products were integrated onto a single platform (NSC).{{Cite web|url=https://www.euronext.com/en/user/login?destination=%2Fen%2F20-years-euronext|title=Log in|website=Euronext|access-date=11 July 2021|archive-date=11 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711123701/https://www.euronext.com/en/user/login?destination=%2Fen%2F20-years-euronext|url-status=live}}

The merger was completed on 4 April 2007, forming NYSE Euronext.

The new firm, NYSE Euronext, was headquartered in New York City, with European operations and its trading platform run out of Paris. Then-NYSE CEO John Thain, who was to head NYSE Euronext, intended to use the combination to form the world's first global stock market, with continuous trading of stocks and derivatives over a 21-hour time span. In addition, the two exchanges hoped to add Borsa Italiana (the Milan stock exchange) into the grouping.

Part of ICE's deal to acquire NYSE Euronext was a spin-off for Euronext, which was considered a positive element for European stakeholders.

Expansion in fixed income, currencies, and commodities (FICC) markets: enhancing trading and clearing capabilities, with a particular focus on the energy market through Nord Pool.
Leadership in equity trading: strengthening Euronext's dominant position in equity markets and becoming the leading ETF market in Europe.
