The exchange reported record international trading volume in Q3 2024, with ADV reaching 8.4 million contracts.
The company's EMEA region led growth with a 30% increase in volume, including an 18% rise in Forex trading.
CME Group,
the world's largest derivatives exchange, announced today (Monday) that its
international average daily volume (ADV) reached a record 8.4 million contracts
in the third quarter of 2024, marking a 29% increase from the same period last
year. Notably, foreign exchange volumes also hit an all-time high, contributing
to the overall growth across asset classes.
CME Group Reports Record
International Trading Volume in Q3 2024, FX Hits New High
The
Chicago-based company said the surge in international trading activity was
broad-based, with growth across all product categories. Interest rate and
equity products were the primary drivers, accounting for three-quarters of the
volume increase.
Interest
rate products saw particularly strong demand, with quarterly
volumes jumping 32% year-over-year. SOFR futures contracts surged 38%,
while Treasury contracts rose 25%. Energy products increased 30%, equity
products climbed 25%, and foreign exchange volumes grew 14% to reach record
levels.
Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, CME Group
“Our
record Q3 international ADV was driven by significant increases in volume
across all asset classes in EMEA and APAC, demonstrating how our clients turned
to the breadth of our products to navigate unpredictability and
volatility,” said Julie Winkler, Senior Managing Director and Chief
Commercial Officer at CME Group. “Going forward, we remain focused on partnering
with our clients to help them manage risk, pursue opportunities and expand
their businesses internationally.”
EMEA Secures Top Spot
Regionally,
Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) led the way with a record ADV of 6.2
million contracts, up 30% from Q3 2023. In this region, FX products showed
particularly strong performance, with ADV growing 18% year-on-year. Asia
Pacific volumes rose 28% to 1.8 million contracts, while Latin America and
Canada saw increases of 12% and 21%, respectively.
The strong
international performance contributed to CME Group's overall record global ADV
of 28.3 million contracts in Q3, a 27% year-over-year increase. This was driven
largely by interest rate products, which hit a record 14.9 million contracts
per day, up 36% from last year.
CME Group's
U.S. Treasury complex reached an all-time quarterly ADV record of 8.4 million
contracts, while SOFR futures hit a new high of 4.1 million contracts per day.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
