The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) will provide central counterparty clearing and settlement services for MX2 Options, a new options exchange from MEMX Group.
The addition extends OCC's existing clearing relationship with MEMX to a second exchange, bringing OCC's total participant venues to 19 options exchanges, two futures exchanges, and one stock loan exchange.
Andrej Bolkovic, CEO of OCC, says: 鈥淎s MEMX expands, we're glad to extend the same clearing and risk management standards our participants rely on every day.鈥�
As MX2 Options is built on MEMX's existing technology and connectivity infrastructure, OCC was able to bring the exchange online through a streamlined onboarding process.
The addition reflects the scalability of OCC's clearing infrastructure and its capacity to support the continued growth of the exchanges it serves, the firm says.
Geralyn Endo, head of options at MEMX Group, adds: 鈥淭he addition of MX2 further advances MEMX Group鈥檚 commitment to fostering competition and delivering flexible, innovative solutions designed around the evolving needs of market participants.鈥�
Clearing members will benefit from an expanding and diversified set of markets, including MX2, all cleared under OCC as a single central counterparty.
OCC says the addition reinforces its role as the central clearing house for US-listed derivatives and its commitment to supporting the growth of its participant exchanges.
