This regulatory milestone allows TW SEF to operate as an SBSEF, enabling institutional clients to trade single-name credit default swaps (CDS) in accordance with the new SEC Regulation SE. This regulation mandates that platforms facilitating the trading of security-based swaps (SBS) among participants must register with the SEC.

Elisabeth Kirby (NYSE:KEX), Managing Director and Head of Market Structure at Tradeweb, commented on the approval, emphasizing its significance in increasing transparency within institutional single-name CDS markets. Tradeweb’s history of innovation in derivatives trading positions it to work collaboratively with regulators to enhance market transparency, efficiency, and liquidity while complying with evolving regulatory standards.

Tradeweb has been a leader in electronic derivatives trading since 2005, introducing numerous firsts in the interest rate swaps markets and advancing the industry. In 2007, Tradeweb launched its multilateral trading facility (MTF) for swaps in the EU and UK. Following the Dodd-Frank Act, Tradeweb established TW SEF in 2013 to meet new regulatory requirements for the clearing and trading of certain swaps on regulated platforms.
