On September 29, 2025 CME Group announced that it has filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to expand its existing cross‑margining agreement with The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). The filing seeks to broaden the cross‑margining framework that currently exists between CME Group and DTCC’s Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC).
The expanded arrangement will allow eligible end‑user clients who hold positions at both CME Group and DTCC’s FICC to consolidate those positions into a single cross‑margining account. By evaluating the combined risk of U.S. Treasury securities and CME Group interest‑rate futures, the new system is expected to deliver margin savings and capital efficiencies for participants. The proposal requires regulatory approval and is slated to be operational by December 2025, pending CFTC clearance. DTCC has indicated it will file a similar request with the SEC shortly thereafter.
