Our underlying business income increased by 5% to €1,302 million, driven by record levels in settlement and safekeeping activities, with assets under custody surpassing the €40 trillion milestone for the first time. In Q3 2024 alone, business income rose by 8% compared to Q3 2023, thanks to strong performances in the #Eurobonds & European Assets and funds business.   Beyond enhancing our business fundamentals, we made strides in innovation, particularly within the digital assets space. Following two successful issuances, we have now facilitated the first USD issuance by an Asia-based issuer on our Digital Securities Issuance (D-SI) platform. We also took a strategic stake in Singapore-based Marketnode, joining its pioneering journey to establish a key market infrastructure in Asia-Pacific designed to simplify fund flow management and reduce #settlement times using Distributed Ledger Technology (#DLT).
