Modernizing the market
As regulation becomes closer to being finalized in the U.S. and Europe, a new landscape for CDS trading is taking shape. The Dodd-Frank Act, in particular, is driving derivatives markets toward electronic trading with a new model for central clearing. Tradeweb has already come a long way toward creating a more efficient and transparent trading venue for all market participants.
Both request-for-stream and request-for-quote functionality have been available in the U.S. and Europe since 2005. In the second half of 2011, we redesigned our credit default swaps platform to prepare for the new swaps regulations in the U.S. and Europe. Once again, we’re a market pioneer delivering innovative and comprehensive solutions. Our platform provides market participants with a broad spectrum of electronic protocols to address their CDS Index trading strategies.
