Change Summary

Background

FX venues are rolling out API changes to support new regulatory fields required for reporting purposes. The key regulatory dates are:

As of 28 January 2024, phase II of the CFTC rules rewrite will require reporting parties to submit a Unique Product Identifier (UPI) on all executions reported to Swap Data Repositories (e.g. the DTCC).
As of 29 April 2024, the recently conducted EMIR Refit will take effect, requiring European participants to include a new Report Tracking Number (RTN) in their transaction reporting.
As of 30 September 2024, participants in the United Kingdom will fall under similarly updated reporting requirements for RTNs.

MarketFactory has contacted all venues supported across Whisperer and other ION FX platforms, to confirm individual change details and timelines.

This page will be updated as new information is received.

Affected Venues

Affected venues are listed in the table below.

Change

The new UPI/RTN fields are provided for client consumption only. There is no need for clients to generate values themselves.

Unique Product Identifier:
- Liquidity Providers that are registered US market participants may generate UPIs from ANNA DSB to fulfill their reporting obligations with CFTC.
- Other Liquidity Providers may expect to consume UPI for SEF trades from the venue.
- ECNs will generate and disseminate UPI to clients trading on an SEF venue.

Report Tracking Number:

- A Systemic Internaliser is not required to generate and disseminate RTNs as SIs are not considered a venue.
- Liquidity Providers would consume RTNs for MTF and SEF trades from the venue.
- Investment firms, clearing members, or the CCPs should provide the respective RTNs to the reporting counterparties, who should in turn transmit the RTNs to their clients to allow them to fulfil their reporting obligations.
