CME Group will start clearing cash Treasury transactions on 7 December 2026, just weeks before the SEC's central clearing mandate takes effect on 31 December 2026. The move introduces a new clearing service designed to recognise margin offsets across Treasuries, repos, and interest-rate futures within CME's ecosystem, challenging incumbents like FICC and ICE Clear Credit.
