Eurex Clearing Adds Bloomberg US SEF and UK MTF as Regulated Swap Trading Venues

Eurex Clearing has announced Bloomberg’s US-based Swap Execution Facility (SEF) and UK Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) have connected to the firm as Approved Trade Sources (ATS), according to a story in The Trade news. The move will allow Eurex Clearing’s clients to submit executed swap transactions directly through the Bloomberg SEF or MTF in the UK to Eurex Clearing as the central counterparty. Bloomberg was the first venue operator to offer direct connectivity to Eurex for its OTC trading services in 2016, is now extending this link to Eurex Clearing from its regulated execution venues. Bloomberg’s Dutch MTF, which was recently granted operational authorization, will also connect to Eurex Clearing as part of the agreement.
