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 2Q22 Volume and market share in IRD for:
- USD Swaps (LIBOR, OIS, SOFR)
- EUR Swaps (EURIBOR, OIS, €STR)
- GBP Swaps (LIBOR, SONIA)
- JPY Swaps (IBOR, TONA)

Onto the charts, data and details.
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)
- 2022Q2 with $15.6 trillion compared to $23.8 trillion in 2021Q2
- Significantly down from each of the past 4 quarters, still surprisingly high given the move to SOFR, but we also need to look FRA volume that is now within IRS, (as executed as single-period swaps, SPS), see the next chart below, to draw a better comparison
- LCH SwapClear with $15.3 trillion in 2022Q2 and $23 trillion in 2021Q2
- CME OTC with $295 billion in 2022Q2 and $750 billion in 2021Q2
- 2022Q2 Share is LCH 98.1% and CME 1.9%, compared to 96.8% v 3.1% in 2021Q2, but not really an apples to apples comparison given the FRA issue noted above
A chart showing USD FRAs by quarter for the same period is illustrative.
- 2022Q2 with just $0.5 trillion compared to $10.7 trillion in 2021Q2, a difference of $10.2 trillion
- Assuming that portfolio maintence activity for rate fixing risk is fairly constant , we can then assume that most of $10 trillion of FRA volume in 2021Q2 is now within the 2022Q2 IRS volumes
- So rather than the comparison above of $15.6 trillion in 2022Q2 with the $23.8 trillion in 2022Q1, we should adjust the 2022Q2 down by $10 trillion to leave $5.6 trillion for 2022Q2, a spectacular drop in Libor IRS indeed
USD OIS (All)
Referencing either Fed Funds or SOFR.
- 2022Q2 with $36 trillion compared to $10.8 trillion in 2021Q2 and $53 trillion in 2022Q1
- So significantly up from a year earlier but down from the highs in the prior quarter
- LCH SwapClear with $34.9 trillion in 2022Q2 and $10.6 trillion in 2021Q2
- CME OTC with $1 trillion in 2022Q2 and $0.2 trillion in 2021Q2
- 2022Q2 Share is LCH 97.1% and CME 2.9%, compared to 98.4% v 1.6% in 2021Q2
USD Swaps (SOFR)
Next isolating Swaps that reference SOFR, either OIS or Basis, volumes by month.
- June 2022 with $7.2 trillion is the second highest month
- 2022Q2 with $19.3 trillion, is up from $18 trillion in 2021Q1
- SOFR just over 50% of the OIS volume in the quarter
- Good increasing trends in monthly SOFR volumes
- 2022Q2 Share is LCH 94.8% and CME 5.2%, compared to 95.8% v 4.2% in 2022Q1
That’s all for USD for today.
EUR Swaps (Euribor)
- 2022Q2 with €14.1 trillion compared to €9.2 trillion in 2021Q2
- LCH SwapClear with €13.2 trillion in 2022Q2 and €8.5 trillion in 2021Q2
- Eurex with €0.89 trillion in 2022Q2 and €0.73 trillion in 2021Q2
- 2022Q2 market share is LCH 93.7%, Eurex 6.3%
- While 2021Q2 share was 92.1% and 7.9% respectively
EUR OIS (All)
Referencing either EONIA or €STR, though in recent quarters all should be €STR.
- 2022Q2 with €24.7 trillion compared to €5.5 trillion in 2021Q2
- A spectacular increase, even higher proportionally than that in USD OIS (above)
- LCH SwapClear with €24.5 trillion in 2022Q2 and €5.3 trillion in 2021Q2
- Eurex with €0.28 trillion in 2022Q2 and €0.18 trillion in 2021Q2
- 2022Q2 market share is LCH 98.9%, Eurex 1.1%
- While 2021Q2 share was 94.9% and 5.1% respectively
EUR Swaps (€STR)
Next isolating Swaps that reference €STR, either OIS or Basis.
- June a record month with €10.1 trillion, up from €7.4 trillion in May
- Volumes from Feb 2022 onwards > €7 trillion each month
- 2022Q2 with €25.1 trillion, up from €18.4 trillion in 2022Q1
- €STR volumes now higher than SOFR swap volumes in each month from Feb 2022 onwards
- 2022Q2 Share is LCH 98.8% and Eurex 1.2%, compared to 98.1% v 1.9% in 2022Q1
GBP Swaps (Libor)
- A nice chart showing the end GBP Libor (after 30+ years of swaps trading)
- A tiny amount of £3.7 billion in 2022Q2, down from £17 billion and £1.2 trillion in prior quarters
And there is no GBP FRA or Basis volume since 2021Q4.
Let’s move onto the replacement rate, SONIA.
GBP OIS (SONIA)
- 2021Q4 with £16 trillion, the highest quarter since 2020Q1 (not shown) with £18 trillion
- 2022Q2 with £11 trillion, similar to 2022Q1 and up from £5.6 trillion in 2021Q2
- LCH SwapClear with 99.9% share
JPY Swaps (IBOR)
- Another nice chart showing the end JPY Libor (while Tibor remains at JSCC)
- A tiny amount of Y15 billion in 2022Q2, down from Y210 trillion in 2021Q2
Let’s move onto the replacement rate, TONA.
JPY OIS (TONA)
- 2022Q2 with Y344 trillion compared to Y303 trillion in 2022Q1 and Y27 trillion in 2021Q2
- A spectacular increase, driven by the end of JPY Libor and move to the RFR TONA
- JSCC with Y233 trillion in 2022Q2, compared to Y17 trillion in 2021Q2
- LCH SwapClear with Y11 trillion in 2022Q2, compared to Y10 trillion in 2021Q2
- CME OTC with Y31 billion in 2022Q2
- 2022Q2 Share is JSCC 67.7%, LCH 32.3%, compared to 63.7% and 36.1% in 2021Q2
AUD Swaps
As Australia is a multi-rate jurisdiction with both AONIA and BBSW, we will chart both OIS and IRS products togather.
- 2022Q2 with A$8.45 trillion, compared to A$3.5 trillion in 2021Q2
- LCH SwapClear with A$7.7 trillion in 2022Q2 and A$3.2 trillion in 2021Q2

- LCH SwapClear with 99.9% of the volume
CAD OIS (CORRA)
- 2022Q2 with C$1.4 trillion, compared to C$1.9 trillion and C$1,4 trillion in prior quarters
- Though still well below the record high of C$4.5 trillion in 2020Q1
- LCH SwapClear with 98.9% of the volume in the recent quarter
