CME Globex Migration to Google Cloud - Starting June 15

Listed derivatives on CME Globex will be migrating to Google’s Ultra Low Latency (ULL) Solution. These ULL zones will also support new co-location and connectivity options, including self-managed infrastructure in the co-location facility and Google Cloud's specialized infrastructure-as-a-service offering, both with equal network latency to the markets. Clients will have a choice of co-location offerings, enabling either the co-location you are familiar with today; new, highly specialized on demand cloud technology; or a combination thereof.

Effective Monday, June 15, the Sandbox-Dallas environment will launch with Market Segment 68, CME and CBOT Equity Futures (excluding E-mini S&P), and Market Data Platform (MDP) channels 318 - CME Equity Futures and 342 - CBOT Equity Index Futures. This is a critical early-access window for clients to validate their cloud journey and connectivity solutions.

IPs for the new gateways and MDP channels and the schedule for the remaining in-scope market segments will be announced in a future CME Globex Notice.

To provide clients with a real-world production environment on Google Cloud prior to the Chicago region launch, Livestock futures and options will migrate to a new Production-Dallas environment in the private zones of the Dallas region in Q4 2026. In the second half of 2028, Livestock futures and options will migrate to the Production-Chicago environment, in the private Google Cloud Chicago region.

CME Group is offering a Pilot Program for clients who achieve specific technical milestones in the Sandbox-Dallas environment. The first 50 participants to complete each obligation by the deadline and submit proof will earn a stipend. Details on this program are available in the CME Globex Sandbox-Dallas Pilot Program Agreement.

Information on compute pricing for U4C Bare Metal and U4S Virtual Machine instances is available now from Google Cloud’s Account Teams. To support the migration and the testing of U4 machines specifically, Google Cloud customers may opt in to a Google Cloud incentive program that provides up to $30,000 in credits for U4 compute usage.

Position Reporting Under CFTC Part 17

On April 30, 2024, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") approved final rules to amend its Large Trading Reporting Regulations for Futures and Options. The amendments were made to modernize CFTC's Large Trader Reporting process and align it with other reporting structures outlined in CFTC regulations.

Since October 2024, CME Group has offered methods to retrieve its instrument listing containing the Unique Instrument Code (UIC) and other instrument data elements in compliance with the amended rule.

Starting March 10, 2025, CME Group began accepting test files in the new Position Message FIXML format via SFTP. For details regarding submitting the new FIXML Position Message, file management, field validations, and example scenarios, please refer to the information in the CME Group Client Systems Wiki.

CFTC's final rules became effective upon publication in the Federal Register on June 3, 2024. Subject to the conditions of the January 27, 2026, no-action letter, reporting firms must comply with these CFTC regulations by July 26, 2027.

A test environment for Large Trader Reporting is now available within the Firm Regulatory Portal (FRP UT). Users can access the testing portal at: https://frp.uat.cmegroup.com.

A brief video demonstration is available to highlight the new look and functionality of the FRP UT.

The Market Regulation Department will be publishing further guidance regarding Large Trader Reporting in subsequent Special Executive Reports as solutions become available.

Events and Announcements

CME Globex Connectivity Upgrades and Changes for Listed Derivative Markets - June 27

In response to client feedback and to provide firms with additional time to prepare, CME Group extended the deadline for the previously announced network equipment upgrades.

Starting Saturday, June 27, CME Group plans to replace End-of-Life network equipment that supports listed derivatives connectivity at CME Globex Hubs. Customers will be notified in advance if they are impacted by an equipment upgrade.

CME Globex market data for listed derivatives now regularly exceeds 1Gbps, increasing the risk of packet loss, performance concerns, and quality of service degradations on 1Gbps connections.

Impact on 1Gbps Listed Derivatives Connections

  • Multicast Market Data: Effective June 27, 1Gbps services will no longer support MDP 3.0 multicast market data.
  • Existing 1Gbps Customers with Market Data: Customers with 1Gbps service currently listening to multicast market data are encouraged to upgrade connections to 10Gbps as soon as possible.
  • Existing 1Gbps Customers without Market Data: Unicast services such as iLink, Drop Copy, STP, MQ and others will continue to be supported on 1Gbps connections. Customers with 1Gbps connectivity who are not receiving Market Data will have their service migrated to the new equipment.
  • New 1Gbps Connections: New connections for 1Gbps service do not support access to listed derivatives multicast market data.

Copper Handoffs

  • When the CME Globex Connectivity upgrades are rolled out in 2026, CME Group will no longer support copper handoffs.

Additional details about the CME Globex Connectivity upgrades will be announced in future CME Globex Notices.

Please contact your Global Account Manager for additional information.
