Clarus CCPView has daily volume and open interest data published by each CCP, which is filtered, normalised and aggregated to allow meaningful comparisons of volumes.
Today we look at 2Q23 Volume and market share in IRD for:
- USD Swaps (LIBOR, SOFR, FF)
- EUR Swaps (EURIBOR, €STR)
- GBP Swaps (SONIA)
- JPY Swaps (TONA)
- AUD Swaps (BBSW, AONIA)
- CAD Swaps (CDOR, CORRA)
- EMEA Swaps
- AsiaPac Swaps
- LatAm Swaps
- Cross Currency Swaps
Onto the charts, data and details.
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 Swaps (Libor)
- The trend we would expect as USD Libor came to an end on 30 June 2023
- $15.6 trillion in 2022Q2 down to just $2 trillion in 2023Q2
- If you have not done so already, I encourage you to read Chris’s blog; Bollinger, Greenspan and The Millenium Bug: LIBOR is now dead
- The end of an era indeed
USD OIS (All)
Referencing Fed Funds and SOFR.
- 2023Q2 with $49.1 trillion compared to $36.7 trillion in 2022Q2
- Down from the high in 2023Q1, but well above prior quarters
- LCH SwapClear with $47.9 trillion in 2023Q2 and $35.6 trillion in 2022Q2
- CME OTC with $1.2 trillion in 2023Q2 and $1 trillion in 2022Q2
- 2023Q2 Share is LCH 97.5% and CME 2.5%, compared to 97.1% v 2.9% in 2022Q2
USD Swaps (SOFR)
Next I usually isolate Swaps that reference SOFR, however at the time of writing I do not have June volumes for SOFR, so will skip this section.
[Note: I may update this next week or cover the data in a future blog].
That’s all for USD for today.
With Libor conversions behind us, 3Q23 and 4Q23 volumes, will tell us where the steady state CCP market share in USD ends up between LCH and CME.
EUR Swaps (Euribor)
- 2023Q2 with €12.1 trillion compared to €14.1 trillion in 2022Q2
- LCH SwapClear with €11.5 trillion in 2023Q2 and €13.2 trillion in 2022Q2

Combined share for EUR IRS and OIS, showing LCH SwapClear with 97.2% in 2023Q2 and Eurex with 2.8%, similar to the share in 2022Q2 of 97% and 3% respectively.
