New clearing house aims to enhance regulatory compliance and improve efficiency in US Treasury and repo settlement processes.
CME Securities Clearing Inc., a securities clearing house operated by CME Group, received SEC approval this week and will launch in Q2 2026. The entity will provide clearing services for US Treasury and repo transactions.
The approval enables CME Securities Clearing to help market participants meet upcoming regulatory clearing requirements for Treasury and repo markets. The clearing house will offer expanded clearing capacity and support cross-margining with the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC).
CME Group designed the new clearing house specifically to address regulatory mandates requiring centralized clearing for Treasury and repo transactions. The launch will provide market participants with additional infrastructure to comply with these requirements when they take effect.
