Onto the charts, data and details, before we do a short summary generated by Google Gemini:

This is an article about CCP volumes and market share in the IRD. It discusses volumes for major currencies and regions. It also details CCP market share. USD OIS swaps are the highest on record. EUR OIS volumes are also at a record high. The combined EUR IRS and OIS volume is almost equal to the USD OIS volume. AUD swaps are down from a year earlier. CCP market share is dominated by LCH with some exceptions.

Volumes and Market Share

For major currencies and regions, vanilla swaps referencing IBORs and OIS Swaps referencing RFRs, using single-sided gross notional volume over a period; either a month, quarter or year.

USD OIS

Swaps referencing either Fed Funds or SOFR indices.

USD OIS single-sided gross notional in usd millions
  • 2024Q1 with $69.2 trillion is up 4%, compared to $66.8 trillion in 2023Q1
  • LCH SwapClear with $67.75 trillion in 2024Q1 and $65.6 trillion in 2023Q1
  • CME OTC with $1.45 trillion in 2024Q1 and $1.15 trillion in 2023Q1
  • 2024Q1 Share is LCH 97.9% and CME 2.1%, compared to 98.3% v 1.7% in 2023Q1

2024Q1 is the highest volume on record, while 2023Q3 was also close to the prior high in 2023Q1.

EUR Swaps (Euribor)

EUR IRS single-sided gross notional in eur millions

  • 2024Q1 market share is LCH 95.7%, Eurex 4.3%
  • While 2024Q1 share was 95.4% and 4.5% respectively

2024Q1 is the highest volume on record, with 2023Q1 the prior high.

EUR OIS

Referencing either EONIA or €STR, though in recent quarters all will be €STR.

EUR OIS single-sided gross notional in eur millions

2024Q1 is again the highest volume on record, with 2023Q1 the prior high.

The combined EUR IRS and OIS volume of €61 trillion in 2024Q1 at an fx rate of 1.06 is eqivalent to $64.5 trillion, so almost equal to the USD OIS volume of $69 trillion. Though we know from the RFR Adoption Indicator that when using DV01 instead of notional, the continutation of Euribor resulted in the EUR IRD market (Swaps and Futures) exceeding the size of the USD IRD market in 2023.
