DTCC Achieves Key Achievements in Platforms and Services

• National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC)

On April 9, 2025, NSCC reached a new peak value of $5.55 trillion, marking a 6.4% increase from the previous peak of $5.22 trillion in December 2024. Additionally, NSCC saw a record-breaking 545 million transactions on April 7, 2025, a 33% increase from the prior peak of 409 million transactions during the “meme stock” event in January 2021. NSCC’s first-quarter 2025 volume averages were up 15% from the previous quarter and 29% higher year-over-year. Fail rates have remained stable, consistent with the T+2 settlement environment, which has persisted since the U.S. transitioned to T+1 in May 2024.

• Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC)

FICC’s Government Securities Division (GSD) achieved a new peak transaction volume of over $11 trillion on April 9, processing $11.4 trillion in transactions, an 8.88% increase from the prior peak in February 2025. On the same day, FICC reached 1.206 million transactions, a 23% increase from the previous peak. Monthly FICC volume averages in Q1 2025 were 4% higher than the prior quarter and 32% higher year-over-year.

• Institutional Trade Processing (ITP)

DTCC’s TradeSuite platform processed 5.8 million transactions on April 7, 2025, a 27.7% increase from the previous peak in March. Additionally, the CTM platform processed 3.74 million transactions, a slight increase from February 2025.

“Our platforms undergo rigorous performance testing to handle peak volumes, ensuring they remain resilient under market stress,” said Lynn Bishop, Managing Director and CIO at DTCC. “We continue to invest in our infrastructure to deliver secure and efficient services.”

DTCC’s enhanced risk management capabilities, bolstered by the U.S. transition to a T+1 settlement cycle, have played a critical role in safeguarding firms and investors during this period of elevated market volatility.
