CME STP for EBS Trades and the Decommission of CPT

As announced during the CME Globex migration, Central Post Trade (CPT) for EBS trades will be decommissioned starting in 2024. CPT TOF will be decommissioned on December 31, 2024, with CPT FIX decommission following shortly thereafter.

EBS trades will be available on CME STP and CME STP FIX, a unified post-trade solution for all trades on EBS venues, BrokerTec on CME Globex and BrokerTec Stream, and CME Group futures and options venues.

All clients are encouraged to start planning their migration now to ensure no interruption of service upon the CPT decommission, and access to new products and features which will only be supported in CME STP. 

The following resources are now available:

• Message Specifications for CME STP for EBS FX Markets
• Business specifications for other Markets and Venues and Core specifications at Post Trade Services
• Migration Guide for CPT TOF to CME STP

A migration guide for CPT FIX to CME STP will be announced in future CME STP notices.

The Global Account Management team will continue working with all TOF customers to discuss the options available and how best to manage the migration to CME STP.

Testing and functional certification in the New Release environment will be required prior to client’s production migration.

Further details will be provided in future announcements.
