Volumes and Market Share
For major currencies and regions, vanilla swaps referencing IBORs and OIS Swaps referencing RFRs.
We use single-side gross notional and cleared volume over a period, either a Year, a Quarter or a Month.
USD Swaps (Libor)
- 2022 with $62.7 trillion compared to $92.5 trillion in 2021 (and $63 trillion in 2020)
- A $30 trillion decrease, equivalent to 32%
- 2022 volume still higher than we would expect given the SOFR first initiatives and restrictions on new Libor risk, but one explained by the inclusion of single-period swaps in the figures to manage portfolio rate reset risk (instead of FRAs) and other portfolio maintenance activity
- LCH SwapClear with $61.4 trillion in 2022 and $88.6 trillion in 2021
- CME OTC with $1.3 trillion in 2022 and $3.9 trillion in 2021
- 2022 Share is LCH 97.9% and CME 2.1%, compared to 95.8% v 4.2% in 2021, but not really an apples to apples comparison given the FRA issue noted above.
A chart showing Libor Swaps by month for 2022 is illustrative, with monthly volumes falling sharply over the course of the year, from >$10 trillion in Jan 2022 to $2 trillion, as we near the end of USD Libor in June 2023.
As we noted in the 2021 review, some of the IRS volume is due to single-period-swaps, which in prior years would have been transacted as FRAs.
USD OIS (All)
Referencing Fed Funds and SOFR.
- 2022 with $161.4 trillion compared to $68.5 trillion in 2021, an increase of 235%
- LCH SwapClear with $157.4 trillion in 2022 and $66.9 trillion in 2021
- CME OTC with $4 trillion in 2022 and $1.7 trillion in 2021
- 2022 Share is LCH 97.5% and CME 2.5%, same as in 2021
- 2022Q1 with $53 trillion a record high quarter
- The remaining quarters @ $35 trillion
- Federal Reserve rate rise expectations driving volumes
USD Swaps (SOFR)
Next isolating Swaps that reference SOFR, either OIS or Basis.
- 2021 with $17.3 trillion, so 25% of the $68.5 trillion of OIS Swaps
- 2022 with $77.8 trillion, so 48% of the $161.4 trillion of OIS Swaps
- An increase of $60.5 trillion or 350% YoY and now more than Libor Swaps
- Monthly peaks in March, June, September of > $7.5 trillion each
- LCH SwapClear with $73.8 trillion in 2022, a 95% market share
- CME OTC with $3.9 trillion in 2022, a 5% market share
That’s all for USD for today.
EUR Swaps (Euribor)
- 2022 with €54.3 trillion compared to €41.2 trillion in 2021, an increase of 32%
- LCH SwapClear with €50.9 trillion in 2022 and €38.2 trillion in 2021
- Eurex with €3.35 trillion in 2022 and €2.97 trillion in 2021
- 2022 market share is LCH 93.8%, Eurex 6.2% and CME <0.1%
- While 2021 share was 92.8%, 7.2% and <0.1% respectively
- 2020 share was 94%, 5.8% and 0.2%
- 2019 share was 96.2%, 3.5% and 0.2%
So the Eurex gain of 1-2% share each year from 2019-2021, has not continued in 2022
- 2022Q1 the highest with €14.3 trillion
- Remianing quarters drifting down to €12.6 trillion in 2022Q4
- Eurex sharing ranging from 6.7% in 2022Q1 to 5.7% in 2022Q4
The EU CCP equivalence for UK CCPs was extended in Feb 2022 from expiry in June 2022 to June 2025 and this may have had an impact, resulting in a drop in Eurex share. Definitely one to keep an eye on in the quarters ahead.
EUR OIS (All)
Referencing either EONIA or €STR.
- 2022 with €83.3 trillion, up from €26.6 trillion in 2021 and €36.3 trillion in 2020
- An increase of €56.7 trillion or 210%
- LCH SwapClear with €81.7 trillion in 2022 and €25.5 trillion in 2021
- Eurex with €1.5 trillion in 2022 and €1.06 trillion in 2021
- 2022 market share is LCH 98.2% and Eurex 1.8%
- 2021 market share was LCH 95.8% and Eurex 4%
- 2020 share was LCH 98.3% and Eurex 1.7%
- 2022Q2 with €24.7 trillion is the record highest quarter
- While 2022Q1 with €18.2 trillion was the prior high
EUR Swaps (€STR)
Next isolating Swaps that reference €STR, either OIS or Basis.
- The first pick up in 2021Oct as the €STR reference replaced EONIA for Swaps
- A big pick-up in 2022Feb and a peak in 2022Jun of €10 trillion
GBP Swaps (Libor)
- A clear trend of vanishing volumes as GBP Libor ended on 31Dec2021
- 2021Q1 with £4.5 trillion
- 2021Q4 with £1.2 trillion
- 2022Q4 with £3 billion
- Strange writing that, given how used to GBP Libor we have been for 30+ years now
- Not sure why there are a couple of days a month with some volume at LCH, persumably some residual portfolio maintainence activity
Let’s move onto the replacement rate, SONIA.
GBP OIS (SONIA)
- 2022 with £44.5 trillion compared to £42.5 trillion in 2021, an increase of 5%
- LCH SwapClear with close to 100% market share
- A peak of £16 trillion in 2021Q4
- 2022 with a consistent £11 trillion each quarter
JPY Swaps (IBOR)
- A clear trend of vanishing volumes as JPY Libor ends
- 2021Q1 with Y394 trillion
- 2021Q4 with Y17.4 trillion
- 2022Q4 with Y11.5 trillion, of which Y11 trillion is at JSCC and all in Tibor
JPY OIS (TONA)
- A clear trend of increasing volumes as JPY TONA takes over
- 2021Q1 with Y30.9 trillion
- 2021Q4 with Y211 trillion
- 2022Q1 with Y424 trillion
- 2002 share was JSCC 70.4%, LCH 29.2%, CME 0.5%
- While 2021 share was JSCC 63%, LCH 36.9%, CME 0,1%
- JSCC gaining share over LCH
AUD Swaps
As Australia is a multi-rate jurisdiction with both AONIA and BBSW, we will chart IRS, OIS and Basis products.
- 2022 with A$37 trillion compared to A$18.8 trillion in 2021, an increase of 97%
- A huge increase in LCH OIS volumes from A$4.9 trillion to A$19.5 trillion (not shown)
- LCH with A$34.1 trillion in 2022, an 92.1% market share
- ASX with A$2.9 trillion in 2022, an 7.9% market share
- The 2021 share was LCH 90.4% to ASX 9.4%
Volumes higher in each quarter of 2022, starting at A$8.6 trillion and up to A$10 trillion as the RBA increased rates by 3% over the course of the year.
CAD Swaps
Charting both IRS and OIS.
- 2022 with C$15.9 trillion compared to C$11.9 trillion in 2021, an increase of 34%
- OIS (CORRA) increasing to C$7.2 trillion from C$3 trillion

- LCH SwapClear with close to 100% of the volume
Quarterly volumes do not show any trend of interest, so will skip those.
