Insights

CME Group's record-breaking trading volumes show exceptional growth across all product categories, with particular strength in interest rates and international markets.

CME Group's April 2025 results reveal exceptional operational performance, with an all-time monthly average daily volume (ADV) record of 35.9 million contracts, representing a 36% year-over-year increase. This broad-based growth spans multiple asset classes and geographic regions, highlighting CME's strengthening market position in global derivatives trading.

Interest rate products led the surge with ADV of 18.4 million contracts, a 46% increase year-over-year. This category, CME's largest by volume, saw particularly strong growth in 5-Year Treasury Note futures (51%) and record volumes in U.S. Treasury options. The 6 million daily SOFR futures contracts demonstrate successful product innovation as markets continue adopting this benchmark.

Record volumes were achieved in multiple categories:

  • Equity index ADV: 9.7 million contracts (28% growth)
  • Metals ADV: 1 million contracts (3% growth)
  • International ADV: 10.9 million contracts (first-time record)

The company's micro contract strategy continues driving accessibility, with micro E-mini equity products accounting for 48.1% of overall equity index ADV. This approach lowers barriers to entry while expanding CME's potential client base.

The cryptocurrency segment, while representing a smaller portion of overall volume at 183,000 contracts daily, posted impressive 129% growth. Notable within this category was the 239% increase in Ether futures volumes.

CME's fixed-income trading platforms also delivered strong results, with BrokerTec U.S. Repo ADNV reaching a record $378 billion (28% growth) and EBS Spot FX ADNV rising 46% to $89.3 billion.

The substantial customer collateral balances ($78.6 billion cash, $173.7 billion non-cash) reflect the significant capital committed to trading activity on CME's platforms.

These comprehensive volume increases across different asset classes indicate CME's transaction-based business model is capturing heightened trading activity across global markets, positioning the exchange to benefit from trading diversification rather than relying on any single market segment.
