CME STP Migration for EBS Customers - December 31, 2024
Central Post Trade (CPT) TOF and FIX will be decommissioned on December 31, 2024.
All EBS clients must migrate to CME STP solutions before the decommission. Both CME STP and CME STP FIX currently support EBS trades as well as BrokerTec on CME Globex, BrokerTec Stream, and CME Group futures and options.
Start planning your CPT migration now to ensure no interruption of service, and continued access to new products and features, which will only be supported in CME STP.
To facilitate your migration, Message Specifications and CME STP FIX Data Dictionary are now available along with Migration Guides for CPT TOF and CPT FIX to CME STP.
CME STP for EBS FX Markets are currently available for customer testing in New Release. Functional certification is required.
Please contact Global Account Management with any questions regarding this migration.

EBS NDF Market Data Channel Enhancements - June 2
Effective Sunday, June 2 (trade date Monday, June 3), the conflation interval for the new Ultra channels will be further reduced.
Please review the Client Impact Assessment for full technical details and launch schedule.
Access to EBS Market NDFs - October 2024
Starting October 2024, EBS NDF trading will move to a single liquidity pool. This consolidation will drive trading and operational efficiencies for the FX marketplace by creating a unified global liquidity pool for NDF trading on EBS.
The move will consolidate the current two pools of NDF trading (on-SEF/on-MTF and off-SEF/on-MTF) into a single liquidity pool on the EBS UK MTF, operated by BrokerTec Europe Limited (subject to regulatory approval). More information on this initiative will be communicated over the coming months, including onboarding information for US customers transitioning to the EBS UK MTF.
In the meantime, since January 1, 2024, US clients are able to access the EBS UK MTF as a Prime Customer trading in the name of and on behalf of a Prime Bank which is not a US client. This follows the standard EBS Prime model, where a participant will need to contract with both BrokerTec Europe Limited for access to the EBS UK MTF and their designated Prime Bank(s). This expansion of access follows from the announcement in June 2023, that qualified offshore branches of US persons are eligible to participate on the EBS UK MTF.
For any questions or more information, contact cmefxemergingccys@cmegroup.com or your EBS account representatives.
