Options Clearing Corporation’s (OCC) securities lending central counterparty (CCP) activity saw its average daily loan value for February increase 43.4 per cent compared to February 2020, hitting $115.7 billion.

Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï lending CCP activity also increased by 17.8 per cent in new loan volumes from February 2020 with 115,069 transactions last month.

The world’s largest equity derivatives clearing organisation’s total cleared contracts volume for February was 828.6 million contracts, the second-highest month on record — up 45.6 per cent compared to the same month last year.

OCC’s year-to-date average daily cleared contract volume through February was also up 61.4 per cent compared to February 2020, with 44 million contracts.
