Key LCH Announcements (Recent):
* LCH DigitalAssetClear now live (May 13, 2025): LCH SA has launched its new LCH DigitalAssetClear service.

This marks LCH SA’s diversification into new asset classes.
* LCH ForexClear adds 24 Exchange as approved trade source (March 26, 2025): LCH ForexClear, a foreign exchange (FX) clearing solution of LSEG, has welcomed Bermuda-based 24 Exchange (24X) as an approved trade source.
