2018 CCP Market Share Statistics

In this article I look at 2018 CCP market share for OTC Derivatives in Credit, FX and Interest Rates, in the same format as I used for my 2017 CCP market share statistics article.

Clarus CCPView has daily volume data published by each CCP, which is filtered, normalised and aggregated to allow meaningful comparison of market share statistics and I have used this to produce all the statistics below.

Summary of 2018 market share:

  • IRD
    • LCH SwapClear has >98% share in CAD, EUR, GBP and EMEA
    • LCH SwapClear has 91.5% share in USD and 88% in AUD

  1. Updated AUD Swaps chart as ASX volumes for Feb-18 were missing, resulting in an increase in market share for ASX in AUD Swaps and a decrease for LCH SwapClear, new figures updated in the summary and AUD section.
