| | Highlight OCT Inst Update Less than a year after its official launch in November 2023, and just a few months following the practical implementation (after the migration to ISO 20022 version 2019, completed in March 2024), the OCT Inst scheme has already attracted 36 participants, with growing interest. This surge in interest comes after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that it would support OCT Inst in 2025 and following EBA Clearing's earlier announcement this year regarding its support for the service by November 2024.
