==History==

Clearstream was formed in January 2000 through the merger of [[Cedel]] and [[Deutsche Börse Clearing]]. Initially a 50-50 joint venture between [[Cedel International]] and [[Deutsche Börse]], it became a fully-owned subsidiary of the latter on {{date|2002-7-1}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://deutsche-boerse.com/dbg/dispatch/en/kir/dbg_nav/about_us/10_Deutsche_Boerse_Group/50_Company_History?horizontal=page4_DB_History_2000-2009|title=Deutsche Börse Group - Company history|website=Deutsche-boerse.com|access-date=1 August 2018}}</ref>

In July 2010, Clearstream founded LuxCSD together with the [[Central Bank of Luxembourg]] (BCL), to act as a CSD for Luxembourg.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.luxcsd.com/luxcsd-en/keydocuments/customer-handbook |title=LuxCSD Customer Handbook|website=Luxcsd.com |page=9|access-date=1 August 2018}}</ref>

In December 2010, Clearstream co-founded REGIS-TR, a joint venture with the Spanish Central Securities Depository Iberclear, to act as a [[Trade Repository|trade repository]] for [[derivative (finance)|derivative]]s transactions, helping participants meet their regulatory reporting obligations brought about by the introduction of the [[European Market Infrastructure Regulation]] (EMIR).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.regis-tr.com/index.php/media-centre/press-releases/76-otc-derivatives-trade-repository-regist-tr-starts-operations |title=REGIS-TR - OTC derivatives trade repository REGIST-TR starts operations |access-date=2015-05-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130215101501/http://www.regis-tr.com/index.php/media-centre/press-releases/76-otc-derivatives-trade-repository-regist-tr-starts-operations |archive-date=2013-02-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
