UNITED STATES: ICE Clear Receives SEC Approval for Treasury Clearing Service

Wednesday February 4 2026

On 3^rd February 2026, Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved its application and rulebook for ICE Clear Credit to expand its current registered Covered Clearing Agency (CCA) designation to add U.S. Treasury clearing. ICE Clear Credit’s U.S. Treasury clearing service is now fully operationally live, providing market participants with welcome competition and the first ever alternative venue for clearing U.S. Treasury securities.

ICE’s Treasury clearing solution delivers both ‘Done-Away’ and ‘Done-With’ implementations, allowing market participants to choose their preferred clearing method. This is the same process that is used daily to clear financial products through ICE’s global clearing houses.

ICE leveraged its extensive expertise and proprietary technologies for clearing credit instruments to offer clearing for U.S. Treasury securities and soon repurchase agreements (repos). Established as a distinct offering from ICE’s existing Credit Default Swap (CDS) clearing service, the new Treasury clearing solution has its own rulebook, membership, risk management framework, financial and liquidity resources, and governance structure.
