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.
All charts are created in CCPView and exported.
USD Swaps (Libor, FF, SOFR)
- IRS (Libor) volume down to $9.3 trillion, from $62.7 trillion and $92.5 trillion in prior years
- Showing clearly the end of Libor, with only $51b in Dec 2023
- OIS (FF and SOFR) volume up to $237 trillion from $161 trillion and $69 trillion in prior years
- An increase of $76 trillion or 47% in 2023
- Due both to the take-up of SOFR from Libor and increase in FF (as Fed rates change)
- 2023 OIS volume of $237 trillion is $125 trillion SOFR and $112 trillion FF.
Switching to Open Interest (Outstanding notional).
- OIS (FF, SOFR) OI is $62 trillion on 29Dec2023, from $30 trillion and $16 trillion at prior year ends
- The $62 trillion on 29Dec2023 is made up of SOFR $58 trillion and FF $4 trillion
- IRS (Libor) OI has gone to nothing from $34 trillion and $41 trillion at prior year ends
- Showing even more clearly the end of Libor Swaps trading
USD OIS (FF, SOFR)
Turning next to OIS volume market share.
- LCH SwapClear with 97.7% in 2023, similar to the 97.5% in each of the prior two years
- CME OTC with 2.3% in 2023, similar to the 2.5% in prior years
- If we select only Client volume at LCH, the CME share increases to 2.9% in 2023, compared to 3.5% and 3.4% in prior years
That’s it for USD, a banner year for OIS volumes, SOFR replacing Libor, FF also up and market share remaining the same with LCH SwapClar dominant and CME a touch lower.
EUR Swaps (Euribor)
- 2023 with €53.5 trillion, down from €54.3 trillion in 2022 and up from €41.2 trillion in 2021
- LCH SwapClear with €51 trillion in 2023 and €50.9 trillion in 2022
- Eurex with €2.47 trillion in 2023 and €3.35 trillion in 2022
- 2023 market share is LCH 95.4%, Eurex 4.6%
- While 2022 share was LCH 93.8%, Eurex 6.2%
- 2021 share was 92.8%, 7.2%, while 2020 share was 94%, 5.8% respectively
So the gain in share at Eurex in 2020 and 2021 has reversed in 2022 and 2023.
EUR OIS (All)
Referencing either EONIA or €STR.
- 2023 with €118.5 trillion, up from €83.3 trillion in 2022 and from €26.6 trillion in 2021
- An increase of €35.2 trillion or 42% in 2023
- LCH SwapClear with €116.6 trillion in 2023 and €81.7 trillion in 2022
- Eurex with €1.9 trillion in 2023 and €1.5 trillion in 2022
- 2023 market share is LCH 98.4% and Eurex 1.6%
- 2022 share was LCH 98.2% and Eurex 1.8%
- 2021 share was LCH 95.8% and Eurex 4%
- 2020 share was LCH 98.3% and Eurex 1.7%
So except for the jump in Eurex share in 2021, LCH share has been steady at just over 98%
GBP Swaps (Libor, SONIA)
- IRS (Libor) down from £9.5 trillion in 2021 to zero.
- OIS (SONIA) volume is £51.6 trillion in 2023, up from £44.5 trillion in 2022
- And increase in 2023 of £7.1 trillion or 16%
- 2022 with £44.5 trillion compared to £42.5 trillion in 2021, an increase of 5%
- LCH SwapClear with 99.9% market share
Open Interest (Outstanding notional) in SONIA Swaps on 29Dec2023 at £12.6 trillion is actually down from £13.15 trillion and £13.5 trillion at prior year ends, despite the higher volumes in 2023.
JPY Swaps (IBOR, TONA)
- IRS (IBOR) dropping from Y843 trillion in 2021 to Y28 trillion in 2023
- OIS (TONA) up to Y2,905 trillion from Y1,467 trillion the year before
- An increase of close to 100%
JPY OIS (TONA)
Turning next to OIS volume market share.
- 2023 share is JSCC 67.8% and LCH 32.2%
- 2022 share was JSCC 70.4%, LCH 29.2%, CME 0.5%

- IRS (BBSW) up to C$17.8 trillion in 2023 from C$15.4 trillion a year earlier
- AUD is a multi-rate jurisdication with AONIA & BBSW set to continue
In actual fact the OIS volume is even higher as we have allocated all of ASX’s volume to IRS, as we do not have a breakdown of this between IRS & OIS. In 2023 ASX volume was A$3.4 trillion, so some percentage of this, less than half would be OIS.
Next market share.
- 2023 share is LCH 93.5% and ASX 6.5%
- 2022 share was LCH 92%, ASX 8%
- 2021 share was LCH 90.4%, ASX 9.4%, CME 0.2%
LCH gaining share with the much higher increase in AONIA volume over the 3-year period.
CAD Swaps (CDOR, CORRA)
- IRS (CDOR) down to C$4.4 trillion in 2023 from C$8.7 trillion a year earlier
- OIS (CORRA) increasing to C$15.2 trillion from C$7.2 trillion a year earlier
