BGC Group announced the launch of U.S. Treasury futures contracts on its FMX Futures Exchange, marking an expansion of its derivatives offering.
BGC Group Says FMX Futures Exchange Has Launched U.S. Treasury Futures Contracts
The exchange went live with 2-year and 5-year Treasury futures contracts on Sunday, 18 May, at 9:00 p.m. ET, for trade date Monday, 19 May 2025.
The launch builds on FMX’s introduction of SOFR futures in September 2024, which the firm believes will further broaden the platform’s appeal to global institutional clients.
According to BGC, the new Treasury futures are aimed at providing investment banks, asset managers and other market participants with enhanced tools for interest rate risk management.
FMX expects to offer significant capital savings through its clearing partnership with LCH Limited, a CFTC-approved Derivatives Clearing Organization and one of the largest clearinghouses for interest rate swaps globally.
FMX Futures Exchange is part of FMX Holdings, which also operates the rapidly growing cash U.S. Treasuries marketplace and a fast-expanding spot foreign exchange platform.
The latest move is intended to bolster FMX’s position as a comprehensive venue for trading across multiple asset classes.
