Background

Here we focus on D2D platforms’ bread-and-butter trading activity in cleared OIS and fixed-float IRS, excluding compressions to keep the focus on risk-trading. This means we exclude activity on D2D platforms in cleared FRAs and inflation swaps and in uncleared swaptions and cross-currency swaps. The excluded activities noted are covered in separate (though less frequent) blogs.

We assess market share based on package-adjusted trade count, a metric which directly counts package execution events and avoids double- or triple-counting of multiple legs in a package. Admittedly the metric ignores trade size variation, but it also avoids the distortion in other volume metrics by the SDR-reporting trade caps.

Volumes by major currency

Note: for readability, we round aggregate package counts to the nearest 100 packages.

Chart 1 shows the month-by-month breakdown of the 57,900 D2D-platform OIS and fixed-float IRS packages executed in Q2 2026 – down 17% QoQ but up 5.7% YoY. Following the record Q1 2026 volumes, Q2 activity was less than 2,200 packages above Q2 2025. Calculating quarter-by-quarter yields Q2 2026 volumes by currency as follows:

  • EUR was largest with 29,200 packages (comprising 21,900 Euribor fixed-float IRS packages and 7,300 €STR OIS packages) – down 16% YoY but up 14% QoQ.
  • USD was next with 14,600 OIS packages (comprising 14,400 SOFR OIS and 200 FedFunds OIS) – down 16% YoY.
  • AUD saw 7,400 packages comprising 7,200 BBSW IRS packages and 200 AONIA OIS packages – down 25% YoY but up 22% QoQ.
  • GBP had 3,000 SONIA OIS packages – down 30% YoY.
  • JPY showed 2,000 TONA OIS packages – up 5.2% YoY.
  • CAD had 1,600 CORRA OIS packages – down 10% YoY.
  • All currencies bar JPY declined YoY in D2D platform OIS and / or IRS activity.

SOFR swaps

For clarity, our focus on SOFR swaps means we disregard the 200 or so D2D platform USD OIS packages on the FedFunds index noted above.
