CME Group to Launch BrokerTec U.S. Treasury Central Limit Order Book in Chicago to Streamline Trading Between Cash and Futures Markets
CME Group has announced the launch of a second BrokerTec central limit order book (CLOB) for cash U.S. Treasuries in Q3 2025, co-located in Chicago alongside its Treasury futures and options markets. This industry-first initiative aims to streamline trading between cash and derivatives markets.
The new Chicago CLOB will complement BrokerTec's existing New York-based platform, which recorded an average daily notional volume of $113 billion in February 2025. The Chicago venue will focus on relative value strategies, offering all seven on-the-run benchmark U.S. Treasuries with smaller notional sizes and tighter price increments of 1/16th of a 32nd.
Notable achievements include BrokerTec's all-time single-day volume record of $1.05 trillion in ADNV on March 3, 2025, and CME Group's U.S. Treasury futures and options daily volume record of 40,664,890 contracts on February 25.
CME Group ha annunciato il lancio di un secondo BrokerTec central limit order book (CLOB) per i Treasury americani cash nel terzo trimestre del 2025, co-localizzato a Chicago insieme ai suoi mercati di futures e opzioni sui Treasury. Questa iniziativa, la prima nel settore, mira a semplificare il trading tra i mercati cash e derivati.
Il nuovo CLOB di Chicago completerà la piattaforma esistente di BrokerTec basata a New York, che ha registrato un volume medio giornaliero nozionale di 113 miliardi di dollari a febbraio 2025. La sede di Chicago si concentrerà su strategie di valore relativo, offrendo tutti e sette i benchmark U.S. Treasuries on-the-run con dimensioni nozionali più piccole e incrementi di prezzo più ristretti di 1/16 di 32.
Tra i risultati notevoli vi è il record di volume in un singolo giorno di BrokerTec di 1,05 trilioni di dollari in ADNV il 3 marzo 2025, e il record di volume giornaliero di CME Group per i futures e le opzioni sui Treasury americani di 40.664.890 contratti il 25 febbraio.

CME 그룹은 2025년 3분기에 현금 미국 국채를 위한 두 번째 BrokerTec 중앙 제한 주문서 (CLOB)의 출범을 발표했으며, 이는 시카고에서 국채 선물 및 옵션 시장과 함께 위치하게 됩니다. 이 업계 최초의 이니셔티브는 현금 시장과 파생상품 시장 간의 거래를 간소화하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
새로운 시카고 CLOB는 2025년 2월에 평균 일일 명목 거래량 1,130억 달러를 기록한 BrokerTec의 기존 뉴욕 기반 플랫폼을 보완하게 됩니다. 시카고 장소는 상대 가치 전략에 집중하며, 모든 일곱 개의 현재 유통 중인 기준 미국 국채를 제공하며, 더 작은 명목 규모와 32분의 1/16로 더 좁은 가격 증가폭을 제공합니다.
주목할 만한 성과로는 2025년 3월 3일에 BrokerTec의 단일일 거래량 기록인 1.05조 달러가 있으며, 2월 25일에 CME 그룹의 미국 국채 선물 및 옵션의 일일 거래량 기록인 40,664,890 계약이 있습니다.

Das neue CLOB in Chicago wird die bestehende BrokerTec-Plattform mit Sitz in New York ergänzen, die im Februar 2025 ein durchschnittliches tägliches nominales Volumen von 113 Milliarden Dollar verzeichnete.

Insights
CME Group's new Chicago-based BrokerTec CLOB for U.S. Treasuries represents a significant infrastructure enhancement that addresses a key market inefficiency. By co-locating cash Treasury trading with futures markets, CME eliminates the geographical separation between New York and Chicago that has created operational friction and legging risk for traders executing relative value strategies.

This solution specifically targets spread trading with two critical improvements: smaller notional sizes aligning with futures contracts and tighter price increments (1/16th of a 32nd) for more precise hedging. These adjustments democratize access by enabling smaller firms to participate in spread trading, potentially expanding CME's client base while deepening liquidity.
