The Euronext Group has since grown further, adding BVLP (the Portuguese cash and derivatives exchange) and LIFFE (The London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange). The derivatives businesses of Euronext and LIFFE are being combined under the Euronext.liffe umbrella with the phased migration of all of Euronext's derivatives markets to LIFFE CONNECTâ„¢, the most sophisticated electronic derivatives trading platform in the world.
